Re: [GNC] Big problem GC 4.6 wiping history list? Mac OS Big Sur
Same here no problems on both Macs running Big Sur. No point in referring us to your screenshot - remember as per John Ralls' reply it never made it to the mailing list - in-line images don't work, you need to save it as a file on your desktop and attach it to an email, that seems to work ok. Also I think if you paste it into your email as the very last thing it will also survive the journey :-) Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Big problem GC 4.6 wiping history list? Mac OS Big Sur

Re: [GNC] Big problem GC 4.6 wiping history list? Mac OS Big Sur
Hello everyone, All I did to deserve this situation is download the latest version of GC 4.6 on my mac using OS Big Sur. That is all I did. Now GC crashes and gives me the window you see. I back up to Time Machine but will that also include GC? I haven’t checked to see if I can find the file on Time Machine but I will do so. Meanwhile, I want to know if anyone else has experienced the same result from the simple innocent download of GC onto Mac Big Sur. Thanks to everyone for any help you can possibly give. I even deleted the GC4.6 and re-installed my 4.1 GC but I still receive the same as the attached screenshot. For sure, I do not know what I did to deserve this!

Your screenshot didn't make it onto the list, but if GnuCash is asking if you want to delete a file from the history list that means that it can't find the file. You'll want to investigate why that is, but rest assured that GnuCash isn't offering to delete the file, just to remove it from the history list. For the crash, please open a bug and attach the crash report from Console. You can find instructions for finding the crash report at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace#MacOSX.

I’m shortly going to be forced to use Big Sur when I upgrade my elderly iMac, and have confirmed through a friend who has a more recent iMac version with Big Sur, that he can install and run 4.6 without difficulty - but of course this was a clean installation with no data files, history, etc. Unfortunately, your screenshot didn’t survive the journey to my inbox, so I can’t see the warning you received. IIUC, the history list is there for convenience only, and if you allow it to be deleted you can still open your accounts by using File=>Open and then choosing the book you want - you have to do this anyway, if you are managing more than the maximum number of books the history list can handle (4 by default, max 6). I hope you have all your important files backed up - easy to do if you use Time Machine on your Mac, but you might also want to copy everything you need into a local directory. I don’t think I’ve ever imported a log file, except perhaps as a what-does-this-do? experiment. Did something go wrong before you did this? Best of luck!
