Dear Peter,

Thanks for the tip; that fixed starting GC from the Whisker menu.  However, I had also setup Windows-like shortcuts (Launcher items on the xfce desktop) which included the file name, so I had to change those as well.

P.S.  The new file appears in the recently opened files list in GC, but in
position 2.
The old file is in position 1.

Dear Adrien,
Thanks for the tip, but I already tried that (several times).  GC still
opens the old book/file

Open Gnucash, it will open the last used book.

If it is the old one, then go to File > Open, and choose the new book.

Close Gnucash.

When you re-open Gnucash, it should still open the last used book, but this
time, that will be the new one.

Regards,
Adrien

I am using GC 2.6.19 (the standard version) under Ubuntu Studio 18.4.

I have just created a new GC book/file, but when I close it and reopen GC,
it opens the old book/file.

ISTR having to set up something in some config file to get GC to start
with a particular book/file open, somthing I only did because I couldn't
find a way to do this with a shortcut containing a command-line argument, as
I would normally do under Windows.

I don't find any documentation or help describing how to specify a
book/file to open on GC start.

How can I make GC open my ne book/file instead of the old one
