Hi,

I have a number of personalised reports (using only standard GNU Cash options) on my notebook. I also have an SP3 on which I have installed GNU Cash. I use a data file stored on a NAS.

Excuse ignorance, but the report options appear to be machine specific, as opposed to App specific. It seems I must recraft the many reports on the new machine. Is there some way of copying the report configs from one machine to the other?

I am using Version 4.2  Build 2020 09 26 on win 10 and Win 10 Pro.

Any assistance much appreciated.

Thanks & regards


Hello, Richard, and welcome to the GnuCash-users list.

Fortunately you are not the first person to be in this sitation. Yes, GnuCash stores report configurations in a different location than where it stores the book data file. There is an FAQ about copying the report configurations to multiple computers which share a book data file:

*Q: I use the same account on multiple computers (through a repository), how do I also transfer the reports I currently have open?* <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_use_the_same_account_on_multiple_computers_.28through_a_repository.29.2C_how_do_I_also_transfer_the_reports_I_currently_have_open.3F <https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_I_use_the_same_account_on_multiple_computers_.28through_a_repository.29.2C_how_do_I_also_transfer_the_reports_I_currently_have_open.3F>>

In fact, you might find the entire FAQ section, *Multiple Computers, Users, ...*, helpful.

On my computer, my report configurations are stored in the file,
/Users/myuserid/Library/Application\ Support/Gnucash/saved-reports-2.8
My computer runs macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra. Your Windows 10 computers will have a different path to your USER_CONFIG_HOME directory.

Does this answer your question?
