I’m well aware of that method. It just doesn’t produce that result for me on a
Mac. I still only get one file open at a time. I had to resort to cli to force
it. Note, this is just for Gnucash. Other apps let me open more than one file
with the double click method. (and for the record, I use

It is OS specific. You Apple users don't know that ,Windoze and Linux and
certain other OSes allow the user to open a data file with it's preferred
program simply by double clicking the data file icon.

this thread should not allow opening two files at once. I can’t seem to get it
to do so otherwise. I don’t suspect a new user will be
Actually, more than one file can be opened simultaneously, but certain
settings that apply to the program environment on the computer can be lost
if they are changed while editing one file then it is not the last file
closed.
It is better not to open more than one file at a time.

Roger,
Yes.
Just start a new GnuCash book file for the new entity. Create its account
structure as you wish. Save the file. (probably using the name of each entity
helps)
Only one file at a time is allowed to be open. (the same holds for Quickbooks
incidentally)

Does GNU Cash support more than one entity?
In other words separate ledgers for separate business names?
Using the one single downloaded GNU Cash system?
