I am not a mac user, but is this the problem that on a mac double
clicking the accounts file does not open the file you click, but the
last file that was used?  On a mac to open a different file I think
you must open gnucash then use file open to open the one you want (I
think).

Is there any chance the fix for the unzip bug can be backported, it
seems to be affecting more and more users.
