Hmm, I don't have access to an Apple computer, so the command I proposed was based on one I found in the FAQ.
I know which gsettings key it refers to (org.gnucash.history/maxfiles), but I may have the exact command invocation to set it wrong. Perhaps it needs quotes around the number ? And perhaps the MacOS build of gnucash has another way of handling the history file list? I didn't see anything to that effect in the code though.
