Gnucash has been managing my money for many months. Last week, I had to do a bare-metal reinstall, including gnucash. The latest version refuses to recognize the files I had earlier saved; it claims they are from a _later_ version, and recommends I update gnucash (which of course I have just done). I tried setting up an _older_ version of gnucash from snapshot, but it asked for old tools during make: too complicated for me.
My question: is there some useful way of tricking the current gnucash into accepting my older files? Digression: How this sorry situation came about is a long story; at bottom, blame Windy XP Pro -- or me for using it; my sarge ThinkPad is dual-boot. I did learn a useful trick for those who run that setup. If you need to use the IBM Product Recovery Disk to reinstall XP Pro, be sure to have the first two primary partitions formatted as FAT32. (Use the other two for Debian, of course.) That way, the reinstallation will be restricted to the first two partitions, and not stomp on anything else. End Digression TIA, and maybe afterwards too.
