Isn't that how it would be done using Pen & Ink anyway? GnuCash has some features to make a few routine tasks easier, but it should not get in your way from doing something via normal processes. Regards, Adrien On 1/2/24 11:49 AM, Quinn Wood wrote: I've identified a solution for this issue

I want to attach an image of a bill to a transaction. I click Manage Document Link. I get "Path head not set, using "/home/tom/" for relative paths. Is that the best Path to use? Where does GnuCash begin navigating from? I would like the path to be relative so that if I move all my GnuCash files
