Yeah!  Thanks a lot!! I couldn't get the gzip -d file.xml.gz to do the extesion renaming, but just used gzip -d file.gz and then renamed it after the decompression. All text replaced and all transaction links working fine!!! Thanks a lot to all !!!  ( I even started learning about sed :) )

You should not need to manually mount any external drive like a USB key. It will automount for you in the /media part of the file tree as you noticed. Your issue is likely more as John noted that LO mucked up the XML. If you don’t want to attempt sed or nano, try Gedit (all come with Ubuntu) or

Directly editing the XML files is really scary to me. Seems like it would be simple, but scary. One idea for the future is to have a GNUCash configured Associated Files directory. This would be the root of all associated files. In the datafile, the filepath would originate from this directory.
