New PC

[Maf. King]

Hi,

You can find the file from within GC on the old PC (you haven't mentioned an OS) 
- if there's no file extension are you on a linux distro?

File -> Save As will give you a pointer to the correct path to find your data 
file.

In fact, while you are in File -> Save As... you might as well just save to a 
USB stick and save some clicking... 

Or if you have already copied your ~ to the new PC, just navigate to the same 
path on the new PC and see what is there.

HTH,
Maf.
