HI, The version of GnuCash you are using is so old, it probably has many MANY bugs.. And it DEFINITELY has bugs related to business features and MySQL! Note: You cannot edit an Invoice, Bill, or Credit Note directly from the register. If you try, it SHOULD fail. If it does not fail, that is

In my experience, on MacOS, double-clicking on a Gnucash file opens Gnucash but not necessarily with the file that was double-clicked. Gnucash will open with whatever was the last file used. So, on MacOS, the suffix is useful, sort of. But it is not handled the way most applications handle
