Failure of "--add-price-quotes" option.

But what if you try starting it by specifying the file.  Does that still work?

Nah, you're fine.  You're right -- the extension is meaningless.  We _suggest_
.gnc to mean "gnucash", but gnucash doesn't care at all what the file 
is named.
It could just as easily be call foo.doc or foo.exe and gnucash will open it
the same.

But my original question remains -- what happens if you specify the 
file on the
commandline?
