Well, I should have done a few other things before complaining, such<br>
as looking at logging and debug.<br>
<br>
I tried debugging first by using the GNC_DEBUG env. var. and started<br>
scrutinizing the messages. Meanwhile the GnuCash app was loading <br>
and to my surprise loaded my existing accounts! I had done nothing<br>
other than invoke the debug messages. <br>
Now, even without debug, the app loads my existing accounts just fine;<br>
so what did debug do to the normal code path to cause it to find my <br>
accounts/files?<br>
<br>
Further, is there a definitive list of dirs/files that should be
backed-up?<br>
<br>
Here's the list I have accumulated:<br>
<br>
$HOME/.gnome/GnuCash<br>
$HOME/.gnome/accels/GnuCash<br>
$HOME/.gnucash<br>
$HOME/gnucash<br>
<br>
.. and this directory my be app specific:<br>
/etc/gnucash<br>
<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">GnuCash uses a bunch of files to remember state:
$HOME/.gnome/GnuCash
$HOME/.gnucash/...
$HOME/path/to/your/datafile
All of these need to be retained across the update. It sounds like you did not
save the first of these. Did you try File -> Open and supply your data file?

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I've searched quite a bit for even a vaguely appropriate
answer to my predicament, but to no avail.
sitch: upgrade of MDK 9.1 to MDK 10.1
which upgraded GnuCash from 1.8.1 to 1.8.11
When GnuCash is started it prompts through its
new accounts routine, ignoring the fact that I saved
the ~/.gnome/accels/GnuCash, and the dirs/contents:
~/.gnucash and ~/gnucash.
Why?
With such a minor rev. change I would've expected no
export step necessary. It's as if GnuCash doesn't even
see the old files/accounts, et. al.
thanks,
Bill Pier
