I'm and 'M' and a 'K'.  I download from banks and I reconcile. I'm also a enter-by-hand (I don't know what letter-type that would be). I like downloading because it catches things I don't get receipts for and that I forget to hand-enter. On-line purchases, gas pumps that run out of receipt

This is a philosophical point. There is group "M" who always enter every transaction first in their books and then use the bank documents to reconcile and There is group "K" who enter some things and use the bank download to keep their accounts. There are pros and cons to each method.

I've got TD bank authenticating, but not downloading a list of accounts. Manual account entry allows online queries to be made, but the response is a 404 error. I suspect it has something to do with TD Bank needing to see a Quicken connection first, which then must be authorized by logging into

Rosepetals, I am not sure how the log files were constructed in that very early version but since release 2.6-something they only contain changed information, so they are usually less than a megabyte, depending on how often you do a file save or allow or force the automatic backup. A few times

You can turn it off. Some may have and forgot. And I'm not sure when that was added. It may not have been available for 2.3.4. That version was never intended to be used regularly. It was a development/testing version only. Though such a file or files might be in the OPs data directory,

By 'backup' we don't mean something you do within GnuCash, we mean something you do with your entire computer/personal files. If you never make backups of any of your files, or only rarely, then I guess you're stuck rebuilding data if you can't recover this file. (this would be the case with
