That won't work as intended with GnuCash on OS X (the OP didn't say what 
system they were using). If you double-click on a .gnucash file (or on 
an alias to one) in OS X, Gnucash starts, but opens the last file used, 
not the file (alias) double-clicked on.

Similarly for other mechanisms that want to communicate a file name to 
an application, like AppleMenu>Recent Items>File.gnucash.

I haven't found a way to have GnuCash start up on OS X using any 
accounts file other than the last one used (which is OK for my use, 
because I only really use one account file).

I've mentioned this on the forum before in reply to a similar suggestion 
(in Subject: Back up copies, 26/10/11). The only response I got then was 
"that may be a bug in OS X".

OS X 10.7.3, Gnucash 2.4.10.
