Hi, Carl [3]<[email protected]> writes: Okay, so you're on current GnuCash on Linux. Good. 3) How do you open GnuCash and/or the GnuCash data file? I click on a shortcut link on my desktop What, exactly, is the shortcut running? What is the embedded "commandline"? Is it a link to a file or the app directly? (I'm just wondering if, by chance, you're opening a backup file). Here's the command that's used- gnucash %f 4) How are you shutting down GnuCash? I click "Save"....if not previously saved and then click the X in the top left of the GC screen Okay, just making sure you don't shutdown the computer with GnuCash still running. 5) What backend storage method are you using? Don't know exactly what that means? Maybe it means where and how is the gc work file stored? It's local. The question is more, is it XML or SQL? Both could be local. If you run "file /path/to/your/datafile.gnucash" what does it say? If it says 'gzip' then it's XML. I assume it's xml as when in GC I used File---->Save as-----> and the format it presented was xml Below is the name of my GC file (regardless of the name of the file below the date and time stamp on the file.....on the far right of the file manager...is current for when I last used the file- June 17 2020 at 7 PM GC January 12 2019.gnucash.20190518080326.gnucash 6) Are you SURE that you're not somehow modifying a reconciled transaction from the other side? Yes, very sure. GnuCash is very unlikely to have lost your data. When these kinds of errors occur, they are ostensibly an PEBKAC issue, either a view that hides the data, a non-default sort that makes data look wrong, opening a backup file instead of the main data file, etc. Thanks, Carl Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
