Richard,
You didn't indicate which version of *Nix you have.  I am using Ubuntu
18.04.  In my situation, I keep books for personal as well as an LLC I
own.  In my $HOME folder I created a Finance Folder and under that a
folder for SteveWanita (could call it Personal) and one for the LLC.  I
save as to these folders the first time.  And yes, it is a pain the see
the folder with all the logs and backups in there.  Once in a while I go
on a jihad to clean them out.  I'm running the supplied backup utility
to send the daily backups to a Windows share that sits on the Windows
box (external drive -- always mounted).  On one occasion I had to
recover my LLC finances from there as I was too aggressive in removing
the logs/backups.  <<grin>>

However, I can click on the file name and GnuCash fires up with it
opened and read to go.  Or, I can click on the Icon for GnuCash frozen
to the left panel and get whichever one I worked on last.  Usually that
isn't the one I want!

Hope this helps.

--Steve
