I have used Gnucash for a few years but have never figured out the best way to
shut down and open the next day with the proper files. I have to search through
the files and open several until I find what I am sure is

Assuming you are using the XML format files the following link explains the
backup and log files ( and Lock file) that may be created in your directory.
It is usually a good practice to create the GnuCash file in its own

You do not mention which OS your computer is using, I do not use a Mac so
I cannot comment on what works well there.
In Windows or Linux GnuCash automatically opens the last used file when it

I have used Gnucash for a few years but have never figured out the best
