Once you have opened the file it should show from then on in your recent files list.  In fact after the first time you should just be able to open GnuCash and it will automatically open the most recent file you had opened.

I have a folder on my desktop with lots and lots of Gnucash files in it, some are .gnucash and some are .log files.  I try to open only the .gnucash files, but the app won’t open them.  It says it can’t find the file.
