Finder displays that option only when the current directory is your home directory. That's the one in Users named after your user-id. I see that you've installed GnuCash and Finance Quote Update to the MacintoshHD directory, aka root. This is unwise, you should move them to some subdirectory.

There's a problem with 3.5 where it won't save to the usual location that I have saved the file to when I was using 2.6.x For some reason 3.5 has a problem with path length. I never had a problem with 2.6.21, I just thought I should keep up to the latest in case I wanted to ask for help with it.

Dennis, Along with the possibility that your results are filtered by exclusion by a date setting other possibilities to check are whether you are opening the same file. GnuCash creates a copy of the data file as a backup each time it is opened and also creates a log file (see

Hi, All, I am working in version 3.5 and having difficulties keeping my data. What do I mean? I enter the values in my different accounts and save them as I go. The next day when I go to open the saved file, all my accounts, except the parent accounts reflecting account totals, have none of the

Hi John - when I follow your directions and use “show view options” I don’t find any option of show library file. Perhaps I’m not looking in the correct place. In Finder, I use the find command which open a box, which I presume is my home directory, click on the “gear”, and select “show view

Haven't tested this with the SQLite GnuCash backend, but it is sometimes possible with PostgreSQL to "roll back" to an earlier state before the last transactions, or for that matter, any arbitrary number of transactions before the last one. I haven't used the PostgreSQL backend with GnuCash for

Would it work to go by date, one file per year or even quarter or month, instead instead of by account? Pros: - Transactions with multiple accounts (eg transfers or "gift card + cash") get done in the same session. - Less confusion as to what's been done over multiple sessions. Thanks, Cricket

That makes sense. I know with some versions of SQL, you can roll-back. I suspect that each of the three versions GNUCash supports does it differently, sigh. If I do use SQL, I'll treat it like my novel. Dated daily backups, and add good title and change log when I make major changes. Not that I
