Unfortunately there's one error in that announcement: it should be GNC_DATA_HOME instead of GNC_DOC_PATH. And this only works to override $HOME/.local/share/gnucash (and equivalents on the other platforms) As I wrote in my reply to Michael, there is currently no way to override $HOME/.config/gnucash (or the equivalents on other platforms). > Geert, > > I still find it strange that, even though there is no XDG variable that > points to ~/.local/share, gnucash directory is still located there. > I mean, > there is no XDG_CONFIG_HOME nor XDG_DATA_HOME set on my system.

I did mention this as well: if no XDG variable is set, the specification dictates which default directories to use. And that's exactly what gnucash does. Feel free to read the full specification, I had added a link to it in my original reply.
