Re: "Cannot parse file" and now get different file from backup

This sounds like the libxml compression bug.  The fix is to rename your file with a .gz extension and then run gunzip to uncompress it..  GnuCash should then read it.

Subject: "Cannot parse file" and now get different file from backup

Hi,
Please help me! I've used GNUCash on a mac for almost a year with no
problems. 
The other day I tried to open gnucash and got a "cannot parse file" message.
I then tried to open another file (for my household accounts) with no
problem. I then tried to open an outdated file with a similar name to the
file that could not "parse". It opened fine. Then I tried opening one of the
automatic backup files, and now the file that opens is same file with a
similar name that I used months ago. It is not the file that I have used in
the past six months. The same thing happens with every backup file that I've
tried to open - the difference in the file name is one word, but I keep
getting a different file!
What can I do?

Thanks in advance for your kind help!

Christine
