Thanks for the reply. I don't get any sort of pop-up when I type in a name and click on the Save button. I finally found something that might help. This might be a question for the gnucash-dev list (rather than the user list). When I try to save the import profile, I get the following lines in

I use several books too, and switch from within GnuCash without issue, but each one is stored in a different folder, so the logs stay separated as well. (they are also named to match the data file. I suppose my names are sufficiently different, that even if they were in the same folder, I could

Ah. That isn't fully wrong, but it is somewhat misleading. I think it's meant to imply that the log files aren't useful with the sql back ends (because the changes are committed to the db immediately), but I couldn't tell you for sure, as I didn't write that section. It looks as if the note migh

Marcus, Those errors in the tracefile tends to suggest a problem with the GTK library at runtime. Have you recently upgraded from a 2.x version of GnuCash to the 3.6 version? The GTK dependencies changed at that transition. (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Dependencies - i need to upgrade this for

Thanks for those details. I do have libgtk-3 installed, version 3.18.9. I believe I've had it installed since I built GnuCash; Linux Mint 18.3 appears to have come with gtklib 3.18. Also, I assume most of GnuCash wouldn't work if libgtk runtime wasn't installed from the get-go. I built it (GnuC
