Re: [GNC] Use again GnuCash

2023-08-05 Thread William Prescott 
Another workaround is to keep the master copy on the iCloud drive, then use the 
Finder to copy it to a local folder before opening it, then copy it back to the 
iCloud drive after saving changes.

I work around that limitation by keeping my GnuCash data in a dmg that lives in 
a Google Drive folder. I can mount the dmg and access it from /Volumes, which 
is visible to Gtk file chooser.

Re: [GNC] Use again GnuCash

2023-08-05 Thread Derek Atkins 
Sorry, that's beyond my Mac knowledge.
Hopefully a Mac user will be able to answer that for you.
My GUESS is that you just need to File -> Save As and select your iCloud
Drive Folder.  And then on the other computer File -> Open and select it.

Just be careful that only ONE computer has the file open at a time, and
that you shut down GnuCash every time before you open it on another
computer.

Also, I don't know what the cache coherency delay is on iCloud Drive, so
you may need to wait for the files to sync every time you use them.

If you fail to wait, or if you fail to use it one-at-a-time, you can
overwrite and lose data.

Hi,

On the Mac, you cannot double-click a file to get it to open.  GnuCash
will always open the last file it used, regardless of what you click.  On
a Mac, you need to open GnuCash and THEN you can use File -> Open to open
a desired file.  Then, when you exit GnuCash, next time you restart it
will re-open that file (regardless of what you click on).

If you File -> Open and it says it cannot open the file, please tell us
what the error is.
