Re: [GNC] Lost Data

Matthew, That seems like a useful strategy. You may be able to get more information about what is happening if you examine the trace file (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile se the MacOSX section) immediately after running Gnucash on a restored copy of the file. AFAIK it is overwritten each

Re: [GNC] Lost Data

can open it. If that doesn’t work then I don’t think it will hurt to reinstall Gnucash.app and see if that solves the problem. Begin forwarded message: > From: David Cousens > Subject: Re: [GNC] Lost Data > Date: January 7, 2020 at 11:13:18 PM CST > To: Matthew Lybanon

Re: [GNC] Lost Data

Matthew Not sure what is going on. Were you opening using a recent entry in the File Open dialog? If so try navigating explicitly to your data file and opening it explicitly. Before doing so check there are no files with a .LCK extension in the directory with your data file as these will normally

Gnucash 3.5-1 running on a MacBook Pro under macOS 10.14.6. I’m been using Gnucash for years for very simple accounting, primarily just maintaining a checkbook register. Today I had trouble reconciling a bank statement. After clicking “Finish” the reconciled transactions had a “y” in the appropr

Re: [GNC] lost data

In a worst case, there are linux-based data recovery tools you can run from a live cd that can image the drive and rebuild files from that image. Deleting a file and even emptying the trash does not necessarily destroy the data, but simply prevents the OS from accessing it and frees up the disk

Hi David, Ill check some of these out, but I have done a fairly extensive search on my laptop already.. so fear the worst I think your description of what has happened is spot on...  the trouble is that in the meantime I think I have done a lot off "cleaning up", and I am sort of dreadign th

John, If Adrien's suggestions don't work the following site has techniques for finding files on windows https://edu.gcfglobal.org/en/windowsbasics/finding-files-on-your-computer/1/ and for Linux https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/tools/find-files-in-linux-using-the-command-line/. Loo

As far as I know, only those four, so if you’ve been opening files searching for “the one” you might have tainted the list. Perhaps one of the more seasoned users or devs knows if there is a larger master URI list. One final thing to consider is to check your balances. Are they otherwise correc

Hi , Yep I've already tried this, and found various previous versions ( backups  - which I obviously did not do often enough) ..  but none on my computer with any log files or the transactions for Q4.  I was rather hoping that GNU cash would list the files with the URI somewhere ( beyond the

Re: [GNC] lost data

You could use your file manager search function to look for *.gnucash files. But within GnuCash, do this: Try to open one of the files in your history list in the File menu. If it exists still in that same place, it will open, if not, it will tell you the URI of where it was expected to find i

Hi All, A few months ago,  I moved the location of my GNUcash file (along with the addressing of the associated linked files - you may remember a post about this).  I have been living a fairly hectic life since,  moving country, massively downsizing  etc, and a fairly annoying pc problem.  I
