XCIF is your friend!
You can back-date the meta for those images and scans with something
like `exiftool`. No definitive word of if it runs on Linux, but it does
on MacOS and other Unix systems.
Otherwise there is a web implementation: https://exif.tools

If it's typing characters that has you bothered, rename "building.gnucash"
"bldg.xgc", and associate xgc with GnuCash in your OS (xgc appears to only
be used by one gaming platform). You'll save hundreds of keystrokes...

I agree to an extent, it's just that the 'date as part of
Yes, except that it does make for rather long filenames. I'd really
be happiest if my GnuCash 'building' bank account data file was simply
called 'building'. It's in a directory called ~/pcc/2022 which tells
me that it's Parochial Parish Council data for 2022.
It is probably because of my
Chris,
I have decided to simply do the test.
As an intro, the files in ~/.local/share/books are called metadata files. They
store (among
others) which windows and tabs you had open the last time you used a file,
column widths in
various tabs, filters in registers and so on. They don't

Yes, I noticed too that there a files with a number added to the base
name, e.g.:-
building.gnucash.gcm
building.gnucash_2.gcm
... but I'm not sure that it's a perfect system.
I have reverted to having the year as part of the file name and a
wrapper script that finds the data file
Back in antiquity, GnuCash would encode the full path of the data file
into the metadata file, but that meant that if you moved the data file in
any way, GnuCash would lose track of the metadata belonging to it...

... and further, reading the following:-

Has shown me several ways to achieve what I want, the man page for
GnuCash doesn't mention the many, useful, environment variables that
are documented in the above.
I think I can stop being so

So you've chosen an organization method that creates the problem but
then ask for how to avoid it? The answer seems pretty obvious to me:
Don't start a new file each year.
But before that, to your original question, what files exactly in
~/.local/... are you concerned about? One rarely needs
GnuCash names files in ~/.local/share/gnucash/books according to the
filename of the GnuCash data file. This is a bit of a problem for me
because I expect to be able to have multiple GnuCash data files with
the same name in different places.
For example I keep church building accounts in a file
