Is the 'xx' a long string of numbers that correspond to a data and time?
If so, that is a backup file. If you were to open that and do work, you
aren't doing it in the main file. Were you to then open the main file,
you would not see that work.

Hi guys!
For a few days now, I have a persistent problem with my gnucash file that's being stored on my iCloud Drive (GunCash 4.13 on Win11; file size is 498
KB): Instead of ABC.gnucash, ABC xx.gnucash is being stored and "rebuilt" automatically when I manually remove the "xx" in the
filename. I've had this before every once in a while, usually after an improper computer shutdown, but the manual fix removing "xx" always
worked. Now GnuCash regularly starts up with the "... ABC.gnucash could not be found" error which makes sense as the ABC.gnucash file is
still in "sync pending", not the normal "available on this device". It seems this delayed sync is limited to my GnuCash folder on
the iCloud Drive, i.e. if I copy ABC xx.gnucash to a different folder and remove the "xx", it syncs right away. When I
move ABC.gnucash from that different folder to the GnuCash folder, the long
and often unsuccessful syncing starts, often leaving me with another ABC
xx.gnucash in the end. Same with copying ABC.gnu
cash from that different folder to the GnuCash folder. My temporary solution is to
create a new GnuCash folder on my ICloud drive, copy ABC xx.gnucash to that folder and
remove the "xx". If I start GnuCash from there, all is good again - for now.
What could be going on here?
