David, I don't get that if I right click, in fact I get nothing at all. However if I left click, i.e. select the file, it does what you say.

It's a little disconcerting that in Win 10, Gnucash 4.8, if you inadvertently right click (usually right click = context menu) on an mru entry it immediately closes gnucash and then re-opens initially with an "unsaved book" in the title and then repaints whatever registers were open one at a time.

Re: [GNC] RFE: GnuCash's File> Properties menubar item
I am not a computer programmer, but I think that what I want to see does not require any additional data to be saved within the data file. I think that it could be implemented as a minor program enhancement. Of course, to match the wealth of information for example that Libre Office can provide about a currently open data file might be another matter, and perhaps that might be called feature creep. I think that is a higher level but I would certainly welcome such info as number of transactions, number of accounts, default currency and perhaps other basic info as well.

Re: [GNC] RFE: GnuCash's File> Properties menubar item
Ok, so in your use case you use different filepaths? I get it... financial data is mission critical. However, I took a different approach. GnuCash itself saves three deep backups in my config. That will cover any user error mistakes. Daily I have a script which backs up all my books to a backup drive to cover hardware failure, disk corruption, etc. That folder is also encrypted and synced to the cloud. Any scenario is covered.

Re: [GNC] RFE: GnuCash's File> Properties menubar item
Stan and Glen, Thanks for the comments. I do like Stan's suggestion. Glen, One issue that I am concerned about is that to see where the currently open file is located it would be necessary to use a gimmick such as File>Save As, which has some potential hazards if an unintended file write command is executed.
