What, exactly, is the shortcut running? What is the embedded "commandline"?
Is it a link to a file or the app directly?
(I'm just wondering if, by chance, you're opening a backup file).

Okay, just making sure you don't shutdown the computer with GnuCash
still running.

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?
If it says 'gzip' then it's XML.

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.
