I think I have this sorted out. I did try File->Open, but it didn't
work. I did know about the 'Known Mac Thing', so annoying.
Something not obvious, probably a bug. When GC fails to open the last
file, because it isn't there or the Sambashare hasn't been mounted yet,
a GUI pops up saying it could not be found, it's in the history list, do
you want to remove it? You must say yes. You must say yes even if
you're going to open another file with File->Open.
The steps to recreate: Start GC by clicking the app, before mounting
the sambashare. It fails. Don't click yes on the history list removal
(because why would you, you're going to mount the sambashare and use
it). Mount the sambashare & attempt to file->open the file. Fail.
Subsequent attempts to mount the sambashare before starting GC, or
copying the GC file to local hard drive will fail also, until saying
'Yes' remove the file from the history list.
This probably doesn't have anything to do with the MAC OS update, that
was a distraction.
Thanks

I'm not using a Mac anymore, but you should know that double clicking
a file in Finder will not open that file in GnuCash but will open the
last opened file instead. It is a Known Mac Thing.
You might want to try using File -> Open to see whether your File
really won't open...

If you are getting a crash, you should file it on bugs.gnucash.org and
attach your crash report there.
Also, check the wiki about obtaining a TraceFile. That might be
helpful as well.
But first...
I'm guessing you can start GnuCash since it crashes on exit.
Can you navigate to File > Open and look for your file that way to
reset the last-known location?

Upgraded to 4.9. It still fails to open. Also when closing GC it
crashes. I don't know if the list will allow it, but I'll attach the
crash report.
