We don't have to do anything special wrt to the sandbox as it won't affect the migration logic (just tested). The flatpak version of gnucash will still search for the old configuration in $HOME/.gnucash (that is, not sandboxed) It will migrate this to locations inside the sandbox though. So make sure the following locations don't exist if you want the migration to be triggered: $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/data/gnucash $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/config/gnucash Regards, Geert _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] 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.
