Where is the data file located?
I was hopping to find it under my home directory but in there I only
found the following:

~/.gnucash/config-1.8.auto
~/.gnucash/books/%2Fhome%2Fhagv%2FInvestimento%2Fcash%2FControl.csh

None of this files seems to contais the my data.

  Currently I am running version 1.8.6

  I am not really shure what was the version number I was running but by
looking at the files above I would say 1.8
