The newest file *should* be personal.gnucash.20180403092939.gnucash; personal.gnucash.20180403092939.gnucash.20180403125159.gnucash should be the previous version from the last save.
Hi John, Re-reading the Guide clears things up for me. The .gnucash files are complete copies of the last saved account (in the sense of 'personal' and 'business' rather than individual transaction journals in either). The .log files reflect changes since the last save in case of a unplanned closure of the application. So, saving the file before closing the application means I can delete all .log files as their data has been saved in the latest .gnucash file.
Yes, you can rename any of the .gnucash files to personal.gnucash and then use File>Open to open it, then clean out the directory of the backups. The next time you open GnuCash 3.0 it will offer to delete the missing files from the MRU l list.
I missed the announcement of 3.0; just downloaded it. Will build and upgrade today.
