Tried all these suggestions (including Mr Janssens suggestion naming the
file config-user.scm) and nothing new shows up in the reports pulldown.
The trace file after the reboot was empty.

Also, the file name should be "config.user" and not " config.user.txt"
The file *type* should be text.

There's some reports about the (gnc-build-userdata-path) part causing
problems.
Try the following instead:
(load (pk (gnc-build-userdata-path "psl-budget.scm")))
(load (pk (gnc-build-userdata-path "my-hello-world-.scm")))
and please report back the tracefile:

I saved the config files in plain text format:
config-user.txt
which an internet search indicated is the same as ASCII. Did not fix the
problem.

I am unable to add custom reports to gnucash.
I use Gnucash 3.3 updated from 2.6.19 on windows 8.1.
The custom reports and configuration pages at wiki were my guides to
add custom reports:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Custom_Reports
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations#GTK_CONFIG_HOME
I copied, then opened “Hello-world.scm” , edited the sections as
described in the custom reports link
1. change define-module line
2. change name line
3. commented out the menu-name line
4. changed menu-tip line
5. got and pasted in a guid
6. and saved it under a new name.
In addition, I coped a report at github (
https://github.com/dschwen/gnucash-reports/blob/master/psl-budget.scm)
I created a file in MSWord saved as config.user (then, as an
alternative when the process failed) config-user.scm containing the lines:
(load (gnc-build-userdata-path "psl-budget.scm"))
(load (gnc-build-userdata-path "my-hello-world-.scm"))
and placed both the config file and custom.scm reports in the
gnc_data_home/gnc_config_home folder which the configuration page
indicated, for windows, was
C:/user/myusername/appdate/roaming/gnucash.
After doing all this, I started gnucash but neither of the customer
reports showed up in the menus.
Don’t know if this is relevant, but the wiki-config page indicated what
files are in GTK_config_home. My GTK_config_home (appdata/local/gtk3.0) is
empty.
If someone can help, it would be appreciated.
Did you make sure to tell MSWord to save the files as plain ASCII (not
UTF8!) text?
Regards,
John Ralls
