Since you’re running two instances of GnuCash it’s likely that the
trace file will be garbled, so if you could use the following from the
command line instead:
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash
--logto=~/gnucash.trace
That will create a separate trace file in your user directory that you
can also attach to the bug report. You could even add the file path
for the file you really want to open to the end of that and save
yourself the “can’t get the lock” drill.
It appears that this works around the issue. I did as you suggested and
launched with the binary rather than the app package, and I gave it the
alternate log location and specified the path to open on the command
line. Since this is a pretty long command line that I don’t want to
type often, I saved it as an executable shell script, one for each set
of books. Now when I run them both, they both run. No crash. Should I
still run them the old way and file a bug? The workaround seems
reliable, and I’m happy…
