It's a little disconcerting that in Win 10, Gnucash 4.8, if you inadvertently right click (usually right click = context menu) on an mru entry it immediately closes gnucash and then re-opens initially with an "unsaved book" in the title and then repaints whatever registers were open one at a time.

I am not a computer programmer, but I think that what I want to see does not require any additional data to be saved within the data file. I think that it could be implemented as a minor program enhancement. Of course, to match the wealth of information for example that Libre Office can provide a

Ok, so in your use case you use different filepaths? I get it... financial data is mission critical. However, I took a different approach. GnuCash itself saves three deep backups in my config. That will cover any user error mistakes. Daily I have a script which backs up all my books to a backup dri

Stan and Glen, Thanks for the comments. I do like Stan's suggestion. Glen, One issue that I am concerned about is that to see where the currently open file is located it would be necessary to use a gimmick such as File>Save As, which has some potential hazards if an unintended file write command

Hi David, Wouldn't it make more sense to keep file information where it belongs, in the file manager? My opinion is that would be out of the scope of GnuCash and give it feature creep. On Wed, Nov 10, 2021 at 8:36 AM David Carlson wrote: > For some other programs' files the equivalent menubar i
