Import a Gnucash 1.8.x data file

[Nicolas Scheffer]

Derek,

Thanks for your fast answer.
I join 3 capture screen :
- convert window
- error window
- xterm window

There is nothing in the xterm window.
I didn't found any gnucash.trace inside the /tmp/ dir.

Here is what i did this morning :
- reopen my 1.8 gnucash file with gnucash 1.8.12 and save it again  
with the latest Gnucash 1.8.12 as compressed file
- reopen my 1.8 gnucash file with gnucash 1.8.12 and save it again  
with the latest Gnucash 1.8.12 as uncompressed file

I did the test on both file and same result.

What i could do next ?

Thanks

Regards

Nicolas
