From the wiki https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations I get this information:
Most of what is found under Edit->Preferences and a few extra ones are stored in [GSettings] . GSettings itself doesn't have a particular location to store this information in. Instead it relies on "backends" to do this on its behalf. Which backend is used depends on the platform: Linux - pristine: dconf - there's no file location associated with this, data can be viewed or edited with dconf-editor. For advanced options see dconf help. So it looks like you have to look why dconf isn't saving and returning the correct settings? In my case, I installed dconf-editor (it wasn't installed by default) and then after running it, I did a search on "alternate". It returns the setting in 2 locations. Only the second one is correct for version 5.0, the first one was for older versions prior to 4.? -- you can see the path is different. So check on your end as well what dconf is storing. org.gnucash.general.register alternate-color-by-transaction false org.gnucash.GnuCash.general.register alternate-color-by-transaction true On Mon, Apr 3, 2023 at 12:46 PM Adrien Monteleone < [email protected]> wrote: > Are other preferences saved? > > I think there was a bug a while back about this being an issue in some > cases on Linux.
