The file is saved by the name of the file you are working with in the 
directory where that file is located.  This is the same way Libreoffice 
and Microsoft Word saves the files that you are working with.

Gnucash's file extension is "*.gnucash".

You can execute this command from the command prompt and search for all 
the *.gnucash files on your system:

locate -r ".gnucash$"

This will give you the name and location of all the files that has the 
*.gnucash extension.
