Welcome to the Gnucash user maillist. That is the normal way GnuCash makes automatic backups. You can read about the process here: < https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Basics:_Filenames.2C_Directories.2C_...> Eventually Gnucash deletes older backups. Most users place their data files in a

Adrien, John Ralls provided advice that, because the OP had not used Gnucash much in version 2.x, he might, in fact, be able to jump directly from that to 4.4. That advice, as I noted, is non-standard, but may work-- and if it does, then there's no real problem. David T. Original

I think you misunderstood. No, you should not 'update' your GnuCash installation *with your existing GnuCash file* straight from 2.x to 4.x! You have two paths: 1. retain your existing GnuCash file and go through the multi-step update process outlined in this thread and in the wiki. Then

Chris, As someone sitting across the pond from you... I think there is definitely interest in MTD in GnuCash. The issue, I think, is going to be the GPL nature of anything you would contribute to GnuCash, and the challenge of obtaining the API key for said GPLed code. Having said that, I

I seem to recall that question came up recently but I cannot find the answer for releases after 2.3.x, which is incredibly stale. At any rate, the answer probably varies depending on which release of GnuCash you are using and which operating system you have on your machine. If you tell us that
