Richard, You didn't indicate which version of *Nix you have. I am using Ubuntu 18.04. In my situation, I keep books for personal as well as an LLC I own. In my $HOME folder I created a Finance Folder and under that a folder for SteveWanita (could call it Personal) and one for the LLC. I save as to these folders the first time. And yes, it is a pain the see the folder with all the logs and backups in there. Once in a while I go on a jihad to clean them out. I'm running the supplied backup utility to send the daily backups to a Windows share that sits on the Windows box (external drive -- always mounted). On one occasion I had to recover my LLC finances from there as I was too aggressive in removing the logs/backups. <<grin>> However, I can click on the file name and GnuCash fires up with it opened and read to go. Or, I can click on the Icon for GnuCash frozen to the left panel and get whichever one I worked on last. Usually that isn't the one I want! Hope this helps. --Steve -- Stephen M Butler, PMP, PSM stephen.m.butle...@gmail.com kg...@arrl.net 253-350-0166 ------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 8A25 9726 D439 758D D846 E5D4 282A 5477 0385 81D8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
