The function gnc:restore-report-by-guid-with-custom-template was added
recently by me in the 2.5 series and is used to restore open reports.
The function is written to the meta file in the .gnucash/books directory
matching your gnucash book. This file is parsed when GnuCash opens your
data file.
So yes, if you had open reports when testing gnucash 2.5.2, this will
result in a crash when trying to open the same book under the same user
account with gnucash 2.4.x afterwards.
My first reaction was to dismiss this as only a developer inconvenience,
but that is not the only case this can happen. A user trying gnucash 2.6
but reverting back to 2.4 for whatever reason could run into this. So I
should probably add some code to the 2.4.x series to at least not crash.
Can you create a bug report for this so it doesn't get forgotten ? (I
don't have time now to fix this immediately, sorry).
Thank you,
Geert

Thanks, that could be the problem as under Ubuntu I occasionally open
the file with 2.5 unstable version (without saving it) while on
windoes I've only the stable version. I will try to use your suggested
methed by finding the differences.
Thanks for the tip

I seem to remember seeing something like this when I tried to open a
file on GnuCash 2.4.12 after having opened it on 2.5.3 (trunk).
Luckily I had a recent backup of my ~/.gnucash and after diffing the
two it became obvious what lines I had to remove to stop 2.4.12 from
crashing.
The fact that you can open it on Windows is probably because your
equivalent of ~/.gnucash there hasn't been tainted by GnuCash 2.5.3

I've a problem opening a file with GnuCash under Ubuntu 12.10. This
is the

I see the GnuCash splash screen and tip of the day, but then it exits.
I can open it without problem in Windows XP. I also tried to copy all
settings file from XP to Ubuntu but I get the same error message.
I got it working by removing the all the ~/.gnucash folder.
Any idea of what's going on?
