I’m sure this is really simple but I’m not successful.I installed gnucash on new computer but I can’t find an option to import all my old accounts from old computer. I’m sure this has been asked before, but I can’t find any instructions on how to do it. On my old computer in the AppData>Roaming>GnuCash>books folder I found a file with end in gnucash.gcm. Can I just copy that file and put into the new computer in the same place and I’ll get back old of the old info?
Suppose you asked us "I used a word processor to create a document. How do I move THIS document to another computer?"
You would expect us to say something like "Well what did you name that document and into what directory (file folder) did you place it?". And if to that question you answered "I don't know." what would you expect us to tell you? You perhaps have hundreds of documents ending with the file extension usual for that word processor.
Luckily you are unlikely to have many files created by gnucash as the "data file" (the books themselves). Should have the file extension .gnucash
Able to find it now? Or if more than one, can you tell after trying to open them?
NEXT TIME (once you have managed to find the right file) give it a name that will be meaningful to you.
