The check files are in the application bundle. So in the Finder, you’d have to right click on the GnuCash app, select Show Package Contents, and then go to: /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/share/gnucash/checks/ to get to the check files. The first 3 elements of the above path are just for reference because Show Package Contents opens a Finder window with the Contents folder showing. Take your pick of the check file(s) and store copies (after renaming!) in: /Users/[your user name]/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/checks/ You can edit the files and save them back to the app bundle, but then any version upgrade will blow away your changed versions (even if you’ve renamed them in the app bundle). Versions saved in Application Support survive across anything that maintains the user Library. -- Dave Reiser dbrei...@icloud.com _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
