Hi ,
Yep I've already tried this, and found various previous versions (
backups - which I obviously did not do often enough) .. but none on my
computer with any log files or the transactions for Q4. I was rather
hoping that GNU cash would list the files with the URI somewhere (
beyond the 4 that it does show under the file tab). Im assuming that
the four listed files are dydnamic and it only keeps the four URI's?
Thanks,
John

You could use your file manager search function to look for *.gnucash files.
But within GnuCash, do this:
Try to open one of the files in your history list in the File menu. If it
exists still in that same place, it will open, if not, it will tell you the URI
of where it was expected to find it. This might give some clue as to where to
go looking. (I just did this and discovered I had moved a file into a
‘finances’ subdirectory of its former location)
If it opens successfully, but you need to know where it is stored, go to Find >
Open and you’ll see above the file list is a button based ‘breadcrumb’ trail
showing you the file path.
Regards,
Adrien

Hi All,
A few months ago, I moved the location of my GNUcash file (along with the
addressing of the associated linked files - you may remember a post about
this). I have been living a fairly hectic life since, moving country,
massively downsizing etc, and a fairly annoying pc problem. I am sure that I
did a lot of work on GNU Cash in Q4, but noticed the other day that all of
these transactions were missing and that my GNUCash was pointing at an old
GNUCash file. I've looked everywhere on my computer and USBs for the file that
I think might contain the transactions that I am sure I put in ( It was a lot
of work, so I don't want to just retype them again), but I just cannot find the
file.
I notice that GNUCash highlights the last 4 files that have been opened (
under the file tab) . Is there a way to see all the files that have been
opened historically and their location in the file directory. I just cannot
find the correct file or any logs for the data that I entered in Q4, and at
least if I know the possible paths, I might be able to ascertain if the data
has somehow managed to be deleted from that location, and then determine my way
forward
Thanks!
john
