No, xx stands for a two-digit number -----Original Message----- From: gnucash-user <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Adrien Monteleone Sent: Friday, November 21, 2025 12:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GNC] ABC xx.gnucash on iCloud leads to "... ABC.gnucash could not be found"
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.

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? _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
