2017-05-16 Thread David Carlson

Google blocked this email so I amtrying again. I cannot find any better description in the help files than what you mentioned Buddha. However, in Windows GuCash makes a full save on that schedule instead of making a .log file. The result is that there is usually pnly one log file and sometimes

To be useful the logfiles should be being written as each transaction is recorded rather than only at the end of a session. In the latter case if a crash/programming fault causes Gnucash to exit abnormally the log file would contain no useful information. Autosave should only be working on the
