So my files were all stored on G:/documents/xxx.pdf
Now that I have transferred to Linux, this path is not recognised - "
GNUCash could not open the associated URI: file:///G:/documents/xxx.pdf"
Is there a way to bulk edit the paths of all the links so that Linux
will recognise the SD path? I would prefer not to go into every
single transaction to do this, as I have a lot of linked files.
Or is there someway ( and this might be more of a Linux question) to map
the SD card to the "file:///G" terminology.
Thanks!
Been a while since I used a 'nix operating system and I don't know
what modern linuxes might provide for "automounting". But in a
traditional 'nix environment you don't just stick in removable devices.
You also have to "mount" (and when removing, "umount") them.
In other words, I think yours is a "new 'nix user" problem. Forget
gnucash for a moment. Can you put a file (say a document) on a removable
device and then plug that device into your 'nix machine and open it? The
path will not be the same as in Windows. The path to the data (in linux)
will depend on WHERE in the linux file system you mounted it? << The
"mount" command will have specified that >>
