[GNC] Gnucash 4.9.x fails to open

Greetings fellow users. I wanted to try out the latest - though unstable - versions. Downloaded and installed OK and I get the splash screen then it all disappears. Thinking it was my ageing MacPro mid 2010 running High Sierra I loaded it on my 2017 iMac running Ventura, with the same results.

It is speedy. Everything is speedy. This MBP replaces a 2014 MBP and and a 2017 iMac and it is a world of difference. On 2022 Jan 6, at 01-06 10:40:05, timothy.b wrote: Wow! Must be speedy as well. Thanks. On Wed, 05 Jan 2022 08:30:28 -0500 William Prescott wrote > The pre-built

What I did to correct my problem was to take the last backup file and remove all of the dates in the file name and made that my main (orginial) transaction file.  I opened that file as the data file and used it.  This corrected the issue with I was having. Thanks everyone for your responses.

Re: [GNC] GNUCash 4.9

Your original file never changes names, unless you do a File > Save As, or change it via your OS file manager. If you ever see a file with a date stamp, it is a backup. Do not try to open it in order to work in your main file. If you do, you are instead working in a backup copy and the main

The file names listed appear to have more than one date stamp: "1223GNUCASH.gnucash.20...0103063517.gnucash.LCK 1223GNUCASH.gnucash.201...cash.20220103114501.log " That would imply the last stamp before the '.gnucash.LCK' and '.log' extensions were the stamp when they were made, (which you are

Re: [GNC] GNUCash 4.9

Steve, The trick is to change ithe filename so that there is no datetime stamp as part of the filename i.e. change "_20220102103645{_[[_[...]]].gnucash" to "filename>.gnucash" then use File->Open to open it. Substitute your timestamp for what I have used and ignore th [] if you only have one

Re: [GNC] GNUCash 4.9

Actually, every time you save, Gnucash makes a timestamped backup file. So Steve is deleting each of his backups. Original Message From: Peter West Sent: Mon Jan 03 19:58:06 EST 2022 To: Steve Mortimer Cc: gnucash-u...@lists.gnucash.org Subject: Re: [GNC] GNUCash 4.9 Use

Re: [GNC] GNUCash 4.9

Use File > Save as… to close GnuCash, and specify the location and file name (without the date.) That then becomes the file that you always open. The files with dates are the backups. If you take the earlier advice, you will set the number of backup files to keep in Preferences > General –

Re: [GNC] GNUCash 4.9

Adrien, Here is what I have found out.  Each time the program is closed it adds that date and time to the name of the file.  How can this be stopped? I can change the name of the file so that there is only one date for the file name and bring it up with all of the transactions in the file.

Hi Steve, I bet the lock (.LCK) file is getting deleted and explorer's desktop is just not refreshing. After you close Gnucash, select the desktop with a click and hit F5. I bet the lock file icon goes away. The log file won't, and shouldn't. If you follow everyone's advice and put it in

You seem to be saving your main file on the desktop, which is not a good practice. The program will save a backup and a log file in the folder where the main file is located. In your email, you show the log file and lock file. The lock file should be deleted when you close the program. Dan
