I thought I'd post to this list rather than the users list since I guess developers would be more likely to know the answer.
I'm using 1.8.6 under Suse8.2 with file compression turend on. I'm having intermittent problems with the shell script which I use to run gnucash. I don't think the problem lies with gc, but I'd like to at least have an explanation of an anomaly. This is the size of my file before calling gc >ls -l My* -rw------- 1 tonyb users 124608 2003-10-14 11:14 MyFile Gnucash outputs: Transactions: Total: 950, Loaded: 970 <snip> And after clicking the Save icon, without having made any changes (and no scheduled transactions posted), I have the following files: >ls -l My* -rw------- 1 tonyb users 123890 2003-10-14 11:54 MyFile -rw------- 1 tonyb users 124608 2003-10-14 11:14 MyFile.20031014115436.xac ---------- 2 tonyb users 0 2003-10-14 11:31 MyFile.7f0200.24282.LNK ---------- 2 tonyb users 0 2003-10-14 11:31 MyFile.LCK The same file sizes are seen when I exit gc. So, my file has reduced in size by some 700 bytes. Why? I don't *think* I am losing any data, but would like to know.
