For some other programs' files the equivalent menubar item, when applied to

Why not change the MRU list to show location, not just file name. That
would avoid a lot of confusion for some of us.

Hi David,
Wouldn't it make more sense to keep file information where it belongs, in
the file manager? My opinion is that would be out of the scope of GnuCash
and give it feature creep.

Stan and Glen, Thanks for the comments.
I do like Stan's suggestion.
Glen, One issue that I am concerned about is that to see where the
currently open file is located it would be necessary to use a gimmick such

Ok, so in your use case you use different filepaths? I get it... financial

Geert,
Wow, I had not noticed that the fully qualified file location appears in

I am not a computer programmer, but I think that what I want to see does
not require any additional data to be saved within the data file. I think
that it could be implemented as a minor program enhancement.
Of course, to match the wealth of information for example that Libre Office

Hi
I print checks occassionally using GnuCash. I find that the program doesn't
remember the addresses of regular payees. Each time I go to print a check, I
need to re-enter the address for the payee, even though I've paid them before.
Is there a step I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any h
It's a little disconcerting that in Win 10, Gnucash 4.8, if you
inadvertently right click (usually right click = context menu) on an mru
entry it immediately closes gnucash and then re-opens initially with an
"unsaved book" in the title and then repaints whatever registers were open
one at a time.

If you're changing every ABC to DEF, you can delete ABC and tell gnucash to

If you're only deleting a bunch (but not all) there isn't one find and replace

In the 3rd paragraph, by "separate register" do you mean create a temp

I too am confused now. IIRC the previous message noted that currency
values were not specifically identified by the currency name when they
appeared in the transaction view, which did seem to be a valid concern,
but this does not mention that.
