In the process of examining a bug in the MRU a couple of years ago, I asked
about adjusting the maximum number of files in the MRU, and was told (by John
Ralls?) how to do this on my iMac - I now have 6.
Unfortunately, I can’t trace the correspondence now, and no doubt the

You could always link those files to transactions in GnuCash, and they'd be

Chris,
If you start multiple programs from the directory a set of bash scripts which
change to the appropriate directory and run the set of programs for each set of
books you work on might be useful. You could launch the scipts from either the
Ubuntu menu or from desktop launchers.

I'm not clear on what the problem is (unless you're on a Mac).
On my system (linux), In the file manager, navigate to the folder, find
the file you want to open, and double click it. It only opens that
database. What's confusing?

That was exactly what I meant. As I said, it wasn't clear what your issue was.
It sounded like you were concerned that other files showed inside the app; my
suggestion was based on that.
Gnucash is hard coded to open the last file. You can rewrite the code if you
like, or you could do as anoth

Using the nofile option means to open Gnucash without any file. If you
specify a filename on the command line without the nofile, it should open
the file specified.
Setup a shortcut for each of your files.

I'm not certain what has you confused, but if you need each file to have its
own existence, you might have to create separate OS logins for each.
