Re: [GNC] How to copy a GnuCash 'installation'?
Even if you can copy this to another computer (an exact copy), reports and all,
you will have to make all your entries on both computers to keep them in sync.
It would be better to save everything in a location that you can access from
each computer. GnuCash will tell you if the file is in use on the other
computer.

Don't know if it is documented anywhere...
Config files somewhere in $HOME: .gnucashrc or under .local/... I believe
this is where reports are saved (report params, used to generate the reports).

[GNC] How to copy a GnuCash 'installation'?
If one wants to copy a GnuCash 'installation' from one place to
another, in particular from one computer to another what needs to be
copied? I'm really only interested in copying from one Linux system
to another, both running the same GnuCash version.
Obviously one needs to copy:-
The GnuCash 'data' file, either XML or sql
Any log files (though not strictly necessary I guess)
However there are other files one needs to copy if you want reports
and screen layout and things like that to be the same. Is this
documented anywhere?
I'm particularly interested in copying reports across as I run GnuCash
on both my desktop machine and my laptop. Just copying the GnuCash
data file means that I get the same accounts on both systems but not
reports and connected files ('experimental' CSS for reports, that sort
of thing).
