I want files the gnucash files (v5.6 flatpak install) to save into /home/documents/gnudata.) . Instead it places the files .log, .lck ,gnucash, into the home directory above all my other working folders. Right now I found a workaround. Manually, I create the folder /home/documents/gnudata and mov

I don't use that distribution, but can't you File | Save As and save everything into another directory? I assume you tried this, but just in case Michael On Sat, Jun 29, 2024 at 8:50 AM Chris Green wrote: > On Fri, Jun 28, 2024 at 05:01:12PM -0400, Victor Rotenberg wrote: > > I want files

HI, This is a limitation of Flatpak. If you install GnuCash natively then it will save it back to the same directory where the file was opened from. -derek On Sat, June 29, 2024 9:48 am, Chris Green wrote: > On Fri, Jun 28, 2024 at 05:01:12PM -0400, Victor Rotenberg wrote: >> I want files the gnuc

The log, backups and *.LCK land in the same directory where the current gnucash data is, ~/Documents/gnucash. I created this directory in January of 2023 when I changed computers so th

Thanks to all for advice on this. Ultimately, it did turn out to be a currency issue. When I started using gnucash (way back in version 2), I never specified or worried about currency, because everything I did was in Canadian dollars, and all the reports worked as anticipated. Somewhere along the
