Surely the lock file needs to be in the same place as the main data file? Think of 2 users on an nfs shared directory, for example. Similarly for the backups, though I guess a sub-folder in the same parent as the main data file would be tidy. ie foo.gnucash backups-foo.gnucash/foo.gnucash.20180213091110.gnucash etc. 0.02 Maf. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
