List,
I have a self hosted NextCloud instance. I have /home/me/GNUCash/Data/
directory on Debian trixie that is shared to my Nextcloud. I switched
from windows 11 as my daily driver over a year ago where I used the
windows version of gnc on that same share. And I have occasionally,
rarely, used windows to access those files again. Other than flushing
changes with file:save or ^s I haven't done anything to prepare the
files to be used by either OS. I did make sure that gnc versions
matched. With NextCloud I'm not reading the files from the cloud but
rather from the local copies.

You’ll also want to transfer the state files and any config files, see

There’s no good way that I can think of to move the preferences between operating
systems, but there are instructions on that page for deploying them. You can use
that to guide you through the Gnucash>Settings dialog to get it back the way
you want.
Regards,

Hi Guys
I’m struggling. Another dumbo in cyberspace!
I’ve been happily and successfully been using GNU0-CASH since about
September 2022, on Windows10 OS.
My booking keeping in post retirement is
basic - Income (Sources & Amounts, by date) & Expenses.
My Windows 10 Laptop is antique now, so acting on advice of all the “expert”
IT friends, I updated to latest MacPro M5.
I had thought from reading GNU-Cash help manual that the transfer would be
easy - using the Wizard to copy Account Tree, Transactions, & Active
Register, using CSV data.
But when I copied these as CSV to the Mac, and opened on the New Mac to
check what was showing, then noticed only partial data transferred,
seemingly primarily from year 2024/25, not older or latest data.
So, I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong? -In my attempts to move all records
since start with GNU in Sept 2024, untilmnnow Jan 2026.
Can anyone enlighten me , to get GNU-Cash running with all my historical
data , under the Mac OS one the new machine?
Thanks
Chris
London
