Well, as it was supposed to happen, all worked out well. Just changed
the biggest file or the one named below to some generic file name. It
works fine....so far.
Thanks, all,
Carl

Hard to say how bad this is. I'd start with the newest data file (by modificatio
n date) that does NOT include the 14-digit timestamp, and see what was there. Th
at may or may not be the file named "GC January 12 2019.gnucash". More likely it
's newer ("GC January 15 2020.gnucash", for example).
You would then be able to tell how many different times you opened a backup by s
eeing how many log files were created after that last file. Working on a spare c
opy of that last file, you could try running the log files dated afterward to re
create the work. This may or may not work, depending on whether you changed the
account structure. If it works, great. If not, you'll have to recreate the trans
actions manually.
I avoid this problem by only having one simply named basic data file in my data
directory (in my case, "accounts.gnucash"). Backups and dated storage copies get
placed in remote folders to keep the idiot from screwing things up (which he is
very good at!).

I'd definitely agree that his data is forked. Both ways!

Here's the command that's used- gnucash %f
Hmm.. This could be part of the issue. %f probably means "filename".
So
if you click a file it'll open that one directly and not the main
file.
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-

GC January 12 2019.gnucash.20190518080326.gnucash
AND... here we have what could be part of your issue. This is a
backup
file. Specifically, this is a backup file that was generated on May
18,
2019 (at 8:03 am). So at SOME point you started working from a
year-old
backup file. It's unclear when that happened. But you have most
likely
forked your data.
Is that a minced oath?
