Chris,

If I look in (one of) my Gnucash directories I see:-
chris@esprimo$ ls
building2022.gnucash
general2022.gnucash.-452605816.1384867.LNK
building2022.gnucash.-452605816.1385351.LNK
general2022.gnucash.-452605816.4124828.LNK
cheques giftaid

As an example of the sort of thing I would expect look at this:-
chris@esprimo$ ls pcc
Pass_Certificate.pdf 'TR takeaway Jeremiah.pdf'
auditedAc2019.pdf
SpiritualityOfFundraising.pdf Whoswho.docx
parishReturn2019.pdf
No long suffixes, obvious names and no backup/log files in the same
directory.
So you're complaining about 4 vs 7 characters in the suffix?? Seriously?
As for the logs/backups, I certainly see the point of storing those in a
"different" location, but ... where? Keep in mind, this is financial
data, not some love-letter, so having an archive can be important. So we
try very hard to ensure that we *CAN* make a backup, and the safest place
to ensure that is in the same place the data file is written. But you're
right, we *could* make a subdir, like "gnucash-backups" and store the
files there.
This is an outstanding feature request:https://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/1470507-configuration-option-for-backup-location
