You are correct. I just mistyped that part of it (looking at one screen, typing on another). Thanks for catching it, and for updating the FAQ. :)

I have an unaltered installation of 3.10 and the proper path to the executable is:

/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash

If your system drive is case sensitive, then this will matter.

(I note that I had to use “.app” in the path in Terminal, while you did not. I’m not sure if this is different with Alfred or Automator)

I can attest that this procedure works on Catalina as well. I have it open with two data files right now using this method.

OK try this instead.  In your shell do:

/Applications/GnuCash/Contents/MacOS/GnuCash path_to_your_data_file_here.gnucash

That should still work for multiple instances too. I just opened up my Alfred scripts and realized that’s actually how I’m doing it now too (I’m on Mojave as well). That will hold your terminal open while it runs, btw. If you want to detach it from the terminal, just end it with an ampersand. Like so:

/Applications/GnuCash/Contents/MacOS/GnuCash path_to_your_data_file_here.gnucash &

That will detach the Gnucash process and give the command prompt back right away.
