Thanks David,
That worked. I know that I've seen mention often about backup files.
Guess my action in September resulted in that. I hadn't done anything
in 2020 except moving the program on a new drive in September. I'm now
caught up from Dec/19 to the end of Jan/20. Thanks for your help.

Rick,
'my name'.gnucash.20200912164616.gnucash indicates a backup file
created by gnucash on 12 Sept 2020 at 16:46:16 aka 4:46:16pm - you
should be looking for the 'my name'.gnucash file which will be your
primary gnucash file....
If you haven't lost any txns since this date and time you could just
open the file and do a Save As 'my name'.gnucash and continue on your
merry way - I'd be double checking to ensure you don't have any
missing txns tho first.
Cheers David H.

Hello,
I recently moved my computer system (and gnucash) from ubuntu
20.04 to
debian 10. After installing debian, I copied my /home directory
to the
new system. Previous to the move I had upgraded to version 4.2 on
flatpak.
After the transition, the file name for the gnucash data file became
extended to something like 'my name'.gnucash.20200912164616.gnucash.
That was probably related to the last update to gnucash which I made
before the change in operating system.
Now the update log files are still looking like this - 'my
name'.gnucash.20200912171222.gnucash. The most recent file name
seems
to be 'my name'.gnucash.20200912171222.gnucash.20201208000513.gnucash
and the most recent log file seems to be 'my
name'.gnucash.20200912171222.gnucash.20201208000514.log.
Without doing irreparable damage to things, can I change the name
of the
gnucash file to 'my name.gnucash or something simple like that
without
wrecking things? I should note that since my original post about
a year
ago, and after Adrien's admonitions, I did do reconciliation of a
couple
of accounts (bank and credit cards) and just kept the system account
going in the same file from 2019 to 2020. Therefore I would not
like to
shoot myself in the foot (or the eye) by destroying the data file.
Thanks in advance.
As an aside to my original note last year on the first rule of
carpentry
(...there's always time to do a job twice), I would like to offer the
second rule of carpentry: If you cut a board too short, cut it again.
Rick
