Unlikely.. HOWEVER, one IMPORTANT thing to keep in mind on the Mac is that GnuCash does not honor double-clicking on a data file to open /that/ file. When you double-click on ANY data file, GnuCash will start and ALWAYS open the last file you had used.. It doesn't matter WHAT file you clicked on...
If you File -> Save As, then that becomes your new "last used file". If you File -> Open, then THAT becomes your new "last used file". If you need to open a specific file on a Mac, you must ALWAYS use File -> Open. And then you need to be aware that that is the new "last used file" and is what GnuCash will open the next time you start it. -derek On Fri, December 30, 2022 11:47 am, R Losey wrote: > I just had a thought about what may be the cause...
