It offers 4 backends: XML (default) SQLite MySQL/MariaDB PostgreSQL You have to install the desired backend libs in most cases to be offered the option of using it. The default requires no special effort. Many Linux distros also come with SQLite support by default, so mileage varies.

That was exactly what I meant. As I said, it wasn't clear what your issue was. It sounded like you were concerned that other files showed inside the app; my suggestion was based on that. Gnucash is hard coded to open the last file. You can rewrite the code if you like, or you could do as

Using the nofile option means to open Gnucash without any file. If you specify a filename on the command line without the nofile, it should open the file specified. Setup a shortcut for each of your files. On April 26, 2022 1:36:42 PM Chris Green wrote: On Tue, Apr 26, 2022 at 12:24:32PM

One more note: 4.4 was the current version when I installed GnuCash last year. My issue might be different from Parag’s then. - My install was current at the time of install, but has been frozen since. - Parag’s install seems to be offering him an ancient version from the start. > On Apr 26,

Hi Frank, I’ll jump in because I have the same issue on a Raspberry Pi. It won’t let me update beyond 4.4 in Flathub, because it doesn’t detect any newer versions. I’ve run the commands you sent, with the output redirected to files, but the files don't show any fields beyond what Parag posted.
