As to your Saved Report issue, the name of the file these are stored in changed from v2.6.x

See the Wiki concerning 'Configuration locations' (do a search on the wiki for that phrase) and there you will find detailed information about where GnuCash configuration and preference files are stored depending on your operating system. (and GnuCash version)

You are presently interested in:

saved-reports-x.y

This used to match the version number, so the existing file is most likely named:

saved-reports-2.6

Simply rename it:

saved-reports-2.8

Relaunch GnuCash and you should find them as expected.

(2.8 was supposed to be the next major version after the 2.6 series, but the numbering was changed, and the jump made to 3.0, and we are now about to get 5.4, and yet, this file is stuck on "2.8". I suspect this has something to do with the underlying report system requirements, but I am not certain as to why, and at least no one has had to keep changing this file name with each version since that change.)

2.6.x certainly had an auto-save preference and I too had mine set to 5 minutes. (I think that was the default) I've since switched to using the sqlite backend, and now I get instant saves.


Regards,
Adrien

Thanks Stan

Was not sure how to answer using the list, so, answering direct to your
email address.

I did in fact finally find my Gnu Cash data file intact as I had
understood it would not be deleted upon updating the software.

However, it appeared in a different location on my hard drive than I had
been looking according to the path that I had suspected.

Now my problem is that I had several Saved Report formats that I cannot
find when clicking on the Saved Reports. I am not sure what file
extension those saved reports are using. I found a folder that says
saved reports and but the update apparently does not recognize that
path. I tried copying that folder over to the location of my data file
and the update still would not find and open the saved reports.

Do have suggestions? Deeply appreciated.

BTW, I have used Gnu Cash for several years and really like it. Have not
used the new version yet to fully appreciate new features other than I
quickly found that there is now a way to automatically save new data
every 5 minutes. I love that as my old 2.6 something did not allow.
