It seems fairly straightforward to me - Save As will save the current book in the newly selected format. Hence you can try them out and see if they fit your preferences. Listing all the pros and cons is difficult simply because whether something is a pro or a con depends on your situation. That said, I like sqlite format as it is fairly compact, it is a full SQL database, it is accessible outside GnuCash (for various Python scripts like quick account balance info and/or reports as well as something more complex like investment asset allocation, etc.) on multiple platforms, it compresses well for backups, and so on. I also like the automatic backup process implemented for xml storage. Some more info can be found on the wiki: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Backup https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GnuCash_XML_format and probably elsewhere, too. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
