Apologies if this is a duplicate - my ISP's "upgraded" emailer is FUBAR.
Yes, that's exactly what I found. I got around it by running Gnucash in an
environment in which XDG_DATA_DIRS omitted the /usr/local/share reference.
Thanks for the update!

A bug (https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798672[1]) was opened reporting
this
same issue, which prompted me to look at it again.
I think I have found the cause of the issue this time and added a fix to our
source code. It
should be fixed for gnucash 4.13. If you can build for yourself

There was a critical issue with the preference migration causing gnucash to

in certain situations. This has been fixed in 4.8a, which is what you have
installed.

Phill,
"Data files" are the ones containing your actual accounting data. These
files normally have file extension ".gnucash". If you have these files
from the 1.x period they may also have no extension at all or the

Phill,
The values you set for GNC_DATA_HOME and GNC_CONFIG_HOME are the defaults when
these variables are not set. So there's no need to explicitly set them, only if
you want to
override the default values.
It's normal that there's nothing in GNC_CONFIG_HOME. GnuCash will never write

Regarding the documentation, it seems like Ubuntu 22.04.1 ships a newer help
viewer that's
not compatible with where GnuCash stores its guide and manual on disk. This has
