Re: [GNC] Text Files

Your Windows setting is to hide file extensions. You can change that if you 
prefer. Then you would see the ".log" appended to what you have listed here.

Strange, in the actual folder it looks like I have shown it below, but when I 
tried to copy and paste it, it went into the attached part above and changed it 
into a .Log extension.
So you are probably correct it is a Log file but in another name on my computer.

Hi,

that looks like a .log file to me.  What is the actual name of the file 
(including the extension)?  Ignore what your system thinks it's "type" is.

Are you sure the name isn't something like "MyAccounts.201812031234.log"?
BTW, I imagine people call you Gareth, not Human.

Re: [GNC] Text Files

2018-12-04 Thread David Carlson 
Gareth,

Windows does not show the file extensions in File Explorer unless you
change a setting in your Windows preferences.  Most of the experienced
Windows users, A.K.A. 'Old Fogies' (like me) change that setting early on
and forget that some people may not be familiar with it.

The extension .log is a part of the file name but your File Explorer is
configured (by default) to hide the suffices because they might confuse
you, which they did, so which way is actually more confusing?

The Linux world is more sane.

Re: [GNC] Text Files

2018-12-03 Thread David Cousens 
Gareth,

If you chose XML format to save your data, all the data files are actually text 
files. The main data file and its
backups files are formatted internally with XML tags.  The log files have their 
own syntax for each transaction record.
You can open any of them with any text editor. 

Linux reports the files ending in ".gnucash" as spreadsheet files and the 
".log" files as Text files but that is because
of the mapping of file extensions onto file types used.

Re: [GNC] Text Files

I think that Windows calls them text files if once you opened one with
Notepad.

They are constructed with text characters,  but they are not exactly human
readable.

If you mean the .log files, these are transaction logs.  You can delete them 
if you are sure your currently saved data file is 100% up-to-date and correct.
Note that there will also be a batch of GnuCash data files, with names 
containing the date and time.  These are backup copies of your data file.
