[GNC] Closing and reopening Gnucash

[Adrien Monteleone]

First, please reply to the list so others can benefit from the conversation.

Absolutely you can save your file in a new location.

Where would you like to save it? Somewhere in your Home folder tree is what I’d think most people use.

Does it need to be on a removable drive or can it be stored on the internal HD/SSD? What was the reason for using the removable drive in the first place?

p.s—I’m going to be away from my computer till this evening, but someone else might chime in before me based on your answers.

Regards,
Adrien

(part of the file name for each is a date and time before the .log extension) you can also use a detail or list view in your file browser to see file modification/creation dates/times and sort accordingly if you ever need.
