I have added these two locations to our Configuration Locations wiki page
now. https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations
This wiki page is looking quite complex. Currently I'm sharing the
following folders from my home dir:
".aqbanking" ".gnucash" ".abtransfers" ".local/share/gnucash"
".gconf/apps/gnucash" ".config/gnucash"
Does that look right for a standard Linux installation (without flatpak)
or am I missing something?
There is a dedicated wiki entry on backing up [1]. The Configuration Locations page is meant as an overview for other pages to refer to.
As for the list of directories:
- .gconf/apps/gnucash is obsolete, unless you are still running GnuCash 2.4.x
- .gnucash is only used by gnucash 2.6.x and older.
OK, I just added new folders over the years, but since I'm running 3.10
now, I reckon I could do some cleanup. ;-)
- if you are using gnucash 2.6.x or more recent you are currently not backing up
your user preferences (the ones found under Edit->Preferences). See the backup
wiki for more details.
Yes, I noticed that I was missing something since some preferences did
not get copied across, but I did not find additional information on the
Configuration Locations page... So your hint to the backup page was very
useful for me.
I assume in order to keep the settings in sync I need to create a
GnuCash start script which does the following
- restores settings: dconf load /org/gnucash/ < somefile on shared
folder
- calls gnucash
- saves settings: dconf dump /org/gnucash/ > somefile on shared folder
Thanks for helping.
Regards,
Manfred
