Jeff this may not be the direct answer, nevertheless i use the cloud storage for my GNU files and it works like a charm(and economical). Apart from crashes, it allows me to connect from different computers and work. Again not an answer to your question, thought will share.

I just had 2 hard drive failures back to back, both of which just happened to have images attached to GNC transactions. Bad luck on my part, they also happened to be my backup drives. Murphy is after all the patron saint of all physicists. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. I am currently adding 2 more backup drives plus a third working drive (all 6 TB, right now, I expect all of them to be filled with my next project in the next 2 weeks, although 6 gigs will be devoted specifically to GNC). Is there any way, even the slightest, to attach a transaction image to a daemon instead of a specific file? That way I could use a database system in the background to hold images instead of the file system. That way images would still be available to GNC and searchable for me (never know when a rebate might show up {grin}). Platter failures are a lot less expensive to recover than circuit boards (i need battery backup here but right now I cannot afford a large enough system with voltage spike protection) and my electric company is well known for feeding large voltage spikes here since I have the best grounding system for miles and I am the last drop on their power line. 60 volts on the neutral is a common experience. It's a wonder that I still have at least one computer that works. -- --JEffrey Black M.B.A. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
