installed 5.12. file opened. yay! when moved to applications it just says gnucash no version in file name. can i change that so i know at a glance what version it is? thanks.
more info. gnucash sw installed is all for intel chips. new laptop is an M4. i’m assuming this might be the problem? -ph i’m still stumped. does it make sense to simply install new sw version? current version that’s not opening is 5.3-1. but i looked online and there’s no gnucash for mac at all in app store and at the gnucash download page it shows 5.12 as the latest stable version. questions: should i install 5.12? should i uninstall 5.3-1? what other steps should i take to do this new install correctly? i also have 4.12 installed. thank you!!! - ph paula hendricks ~:~ San Francisco CA ~:~ 415.310.1168 > On Sep 7, 2025, at 9:40 AM, ph hermes <[email protected]> wrote: > > thank you both. i’ve tried both these options. i also deleted the LCK files > (per the wiki). in both cases (opening from file one trying to open gnucash > first it’s not opening). there are 2 log files still in the directory with my > latest .gnucash file. > > i also just double checked he path and it all looks ok. > > i have an older file but i was guessing it would have the same issues. > > anything else i should try? > - ph > paula hendricks ~:~ San Francisco CA ~:~ 415.310.1168 > >> On Sep 6, 2025, at 1:27 PM, [email protected] wrote: >> First, is it your intention to open a backup of your data file from July >> 25th of this year?
