I can see a point, but I don't encourage my accountants to send

Or, in the File menu, click one of the recently-used files in the
numbered list.

Thank you Micheal and David for your clear answers.
I tried the addition of –nofile to the icon. The first time it did nothing
and when I looked at the properties I saw the nofile was not saved. On the
second trial I clicked the Apply, then Continue and when I used the icon to
call up GNUCash,

The same strategy can be used to create additional icons which open GnuCash
with a specific datafile. Copy the icons as
Michael suggested (one for each datafile) and edit them put in a URI to the
specific datafile instead of the --nofile
option. Give it a name reflecting that it opens

Looks like an interesting way to have more than one set of books on my
computer.
What operating system are you using? Perhaps as much to the point, if
you are getting to gnucash by a "shortcut"
And on MacOS, you have to use the full path into the app package, so
assuming you installed in the system Applications directory:
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash --nofile
would be the full command.

Gosh, many ideas, thank you. I will run some experiments to see if one of
these is easier/harder or more/less effective than others, but
clearly there are possibilities.
Many thanks everyone for all the time and thought you've put into these
suggestions, it's much appreciated.
Cheers,

Unix diff utility would be very handy to compare csv files...
Make use of -i -E -Z -b -w -B and -c options.

Hi all,
Does GNC provide any mechanism for comparing two versions of the same

Along with the idea of exporting your present book via CSV, when you get
back the file from the accountant, export that book as CSV too. Then do
a diff on the CSV files.
Those should be less messy to read than the XML.
You could then take the diff results as a CSV and import them.

Just make sure that after you save a copy (B4A) that you aren't using
that file going forward as GC usually opens the last saved file.
Unless you have "told" gnucash not to.
Those of us who are keeping multiple sets of books (f0r multiple
entities) can make like easier by using the

I'll be sending my books to my accountant soon, and I imagine they will
have some corrections/adjustments. I'll be giving them a laptop with GNC
installed, so they can most easily browse, and it occurs
