What is the embedded "commandline"? Is it a link to a file or the app directly?

Maybe it means where and how is > the gc work file stored? It's local. The question is more, is it XML or SQL? Both could be local. If you run "file /path/to/your/datafile.gnucash" what does it say?

GnuCash is very unlikely to have lost your data. When these kinds of errors occur, they are ostensibly an PEBKAC issue, either a view that hides the data, a non-default sort that makes data look wrong, opening a backup file instead of the main data file, etc. > Thanks, > > Carl > Please remember to CC this list on all your replies. > You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant _______________________________________________ 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.
