After gnucash 4.5 was announced, I tested upgrading to it on a standalone test machine (running flatpak on ubuntu 20.04), and I encountered the issue later described here:
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798194 where all my gnucash settings were lost. On that same test machine, I tried downgrading to 4.4, but my settings were still gone. This seemed kind of scary, so I put off upgrading my real machine pending a fix. I see that the bug report linked to above includes some manual migration steps to export/re-import settings as a workaround, so I plan to just go ahead and try that (and I will go direct from 4.4 to 4.6, skipping 4.5). But I thought I'd check in to make sure that there was no other pending/better way or automatic approach to this, or is the manual workaround the way to go? If this issue affects all flatpak users, perhaps the release notes should reference the preferences issue and describe or link to the appropriate workaround? --gary _______________________________________________ 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.
