That looks like another reason to import in small chunks.

Unfortunately no. If you spend four hours within a single import, the
autosave is not going to help you.

Is a crash in the import system part of the autosave scope?

Wonder if the OP changed it to something longer? Or if we have a bug
somewhere...

Is the default not 5 minutes? One shouldn't lose more than 5 minutes of
work in such a case.

Perhaps David, but I got some good advice. Hopefully a programmer will see
it and respond but I'm just a user.

A crash doesn't always mean GnuCash is at fault. Sure, it may encounter
a condition that should be handled much more gracefully, but there are
potentially many, many, many variables out there that influence that
condition.

I fully agree. Does this mean that the default autosave should be
changed to something more reasonable?

It's too bad that the responses to "Gnucash has crashed and I lost X hours of
work" are:
1. Save more often.
2. Don't use a cloud service except as an offline backup.
3. Use the db backend (which is basically a technological alternative to #1).

Thanks Glenn and Robert,
I guess the default is 30 days. Didn't know that. Thanks

You probably should hang onto the log files, until you have BOTH a good file
and a good backup of that file. You might want to keep some recent set of log
files, just in case something happens.

Hi,
What I do is in Preferences > General you can also set 'Retain log/backup
files' and you'll have an automatic log/backup rotation where it will
delete the old for you. GnuCash will always keep the last backup even if
the days have passed what you specify.

Thank you Adrien, and Glenn
I'd much prefer to keep the file local. I just discovered I can choose to
NOT sync a folder to dropbox so I carefully navigated to the GnuCash folder
on my PC and made that change. I will re-import by month henceforth. I've
already done the hard work of figuring where
To add to this you can also set an auto-save interval in Preferences >

Hopefully someone that knows about the bounceback can chime in and explain
what that means.
As for the file sync what I have heard is if you are working from a local
file that gets synced there isn't an issue but if you are working directly
from a file in the cloud there can be issues.
On Fri, Ju
Check the last backup in that same folder. The filename will have the date
attached to it (ex. MyBook.gnucash.20220719044041.gnucash) . It's probably
before you started entering data but it's worth checking.

Someone else can help with the logfile, and it *should* replay your
steps, but I'd offer two suggestions for a different workflow:
1. copy the file locally first, then open it. (other users of DropBox
may have additional/alternative practices to help with sync issues)
2. Import, match & recon
I wish! The last backup file was at 8:37 this morning as I was wrestling
with getting the QFX file imported. Even that has vanished. That's why I
wondered about log files.
Can you tell me what bounceback is? Is having the files both on my pc and
in dropbox a problem? It appears it might be.
Imported and matched all the years transactions for a credit card. Then
hit the reconcile button. Crash!
On trying to get back in I received a message that talked about
bounceback? I'm sorry, I didn't write it down, but when I tried to reopen
it said that someone else might be using the file and
