[GNC] Closing and reopening Gnucash

[Adrien Monteleone]

Richard,

Just open the app from the app launcher icon, not the file. It will re-open the last used file automatically.

What OS are you using?

On Windows this would be from Start > Programs > Gnucash
On Linux you’d use your menu or Applications screen and click the GnuCash icon
On Mac, you’d click the GnuCash icon from either Launchpad or the Applications folder

All three systems provide a quick-launch or dock area where you might have placed the icon, and most allow you to have a launcher icon on your desktop. These both depend on how you installed the app and if you placed launchers there.

Just for info, the data file ends in .gnucash, the log files in .log. You can safely delete any log file but perhaps the most recent. (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.

Regards,
Adrien
