And the "no suitable backend" error continues to point at the Dad.desktop file rather than Dad.gnucash ? As said before, that's very odd and not a flatpak bug. Can you repost your desktop file as you currently have it here ? Also I'm curious to more details on the parts that do work: - After running step 2, which version of gnucash does start ? - Did it properly open the correct set of books at startup ? - If you run the same command but with another of your existing books as argument, will that properly open that book at startup ? - In both cases, if you make changes to your books, where do the log files end up ? Lastly, you briefly mentioned somewhere it works when you double-click directly on your gnucash data file (that is Dad.gnucash, instead of Dad.desktop). If you do that, what version of gnucash gets opened ? Where does it store its log files if you make changes ? Regards, Geert > > Ha! Best of luck with the keyboard!
