Thanks John, that made all the difference, now to clean out all the history
files I bodged up to test this :-)

My Gnucash.app is in /Applications/GnuCash and I found GnuCash/Gnucash as
in "defaults read -app GnuCash/Gnucash" was sufficient however if it's not
under Applications you're probably correct :-)

It is maybe worth mentioning that the Gnucash preferences plist on Mac OS is
stored in:
~/Library/Preferences/org.gnucash.Gnucash.plist

And that turns out to be necessary: Unless you tell defaults -int it writes a
string and GSettings decides that's the wrong type and won't use it.
Incidentally, someone wondered how to do this on other OSes. In Linux you'd
just use the DConf tool to create the key /org/gnucash/history/maxfiles.
You can also use the domain directly, e.g.
defaults read org.gnucash.Gnucash

If you open the plist file with Xcode or bbedit or ... you may see that the
maxfiles key is of type string, instead of integer. It may look like:
/org/gnucash/history/maxfiles
6
Instead of
/org/gnucash/history/maxfiles
6
You can manually change string to integer
Note: If you have Gnucash in a non-standard location like I do, you probably
will have to give the full path to the application. e.g.
defaults read -app /Applications/Gnucash/Gnucash-4.4/Gnucash.app

Yes, I discovered how to read and write the relevant plist using “defaults”,
You can easily check the mru details by doing the following...
defaults read -app Gnucash
or
defaults read -app Gnucash | grep history

Hmm could that be because there were only four files stored so far in
mystery-memory because of the previous setting? What happens if you open a
fifth file, exit the program and then restart? Do you see five?

Well spotted!
I think I tried every other possible combination I could find in the man page
for “defaults”.
Thanks,

Looks like there is a typo in the command, it should be:
defaults write -app Gnucash "/org/gnucash/history/maxfiles" 6

Hi,
FWIW, I don't think anything I said was Big-Sur-specific, but I thought I'd
specify it, well, just because

I don’t have Big Sur, but I can just drag the icon from the Applications folder
opened in FInder, onto the Dock. Then I can start Gnucash by double-clocking
the icon in the dock. I suppoe it depends how busy you Dock is already.

On Big Sur, I have Gnucash installed directly under /Applications, which is
the default Installer option.
I either double-click the icon, or, in a Terminal window, type "open
/Applications/Gnucash.app".
If you have Gnucash.app installed somewhere else, just type open /Gnucash.app. Once it opens,
Hi David,
Yes tried it without and get "Couldn't find an application named "Gnucash";
defaults unchanged" so it definitely seems to need the folder name in
addition to the app name. Might uninstall on my Macbook Pro later and
re-install to apps folder only and see if it makes any difference.
Have you tried without the extra directory info?
man defaults says that the -app flag specifies the name of the app, not a
directory. I haven’t tested it myself, and the manfile is a bit vague on
details here. But since defaults write is writing to the pfile in Library, it
doesn’t have to know
Hi David,
Been playing around with that exact same setting for a while now but it
doesn't seem to work on my Big Sur / Gnucash 4.4 system.
My setup is slightly different in that I installed Gnucash in
/Applications/GnuCash as opposed to /Applications itself, so I've been
tinkering with

In MacOS, there is a plist file you can edit, not sure about Windows or
Linux.
There was a thread within the last month or two with the solution. (and
it might be on the Wiki. Did you check?)

I seem to recall that question came up recently but I cannot find the
answer for releases after 2.3.x, which is incredibly stale.
At any rate, the answer probably varies depending on which release of
GnuCash you are using and which operating system you have on your machine.
