I just discovered that the Since Last Run Assistant has started running
when I open my data file with release 5.14 flatpak version in Linux.  There
is something else going on as well, but the reason this happened is that
Flatpak does not automatically pick up preferences from the gcm or from an
existing environment file, but it sets a new environment with all the
default settings.  Strangely, I have been entering data using this Flatpak
instance for several days, including frequently closing the program to
update the gcm file, but I didn't see the SLRA start when I open the data
file until after I had manually run the SLR once in that instance.

The odd thing is that I had copied the gcm file for that book into the
correct location for flatpak but somehow I thought I was opening the
flatpak version, it apparently slipped and instead opened the the data file
that I had configured the flatpak instance to open with the old release 4.8
version of Gnucash which I had not disabled.  I didn't notice that error
until I saw that different account registers were open yet I was looking at
transactions that I had entered earlier today.

Looking at '
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#System-wide', it does
not appear that there is a straightforward way to copy the configuration
from a Windows machine to a flatpak instance or even to figure out what
information should go into a flatpak override file to match an existing
windows configuration.  I cannot remember exactly which preferences I have
changed from the default over the last several years.

I am trying a new (for me) technique to try to delete the old thread
history that Google hides from me so it doesn't reappear in my next
message.  Lets see if it works.
