The 2.8 version is a small oversight. It was decided fairly late in the last
development cycle to name the next big release 3.0. Before that we were aiming
for 2.8 as a natural follow up for 1.8->2.0->2.2->2.4->2.6.
The release numbering scheme was changed, but we omitted renaming the saved-
reports file.
Tom, out of curiosity: where did you find the old saved-reports-2.4 file ?
Normally gnucash does migrate the metadata to %APPDATA%\GnuCash on the first
time you run a gnucash 3.x version from %USER%\.gnucash.
I can imagine a few situations where that won't happen:
1. %APPDATA%\GnuCash already exists
2. Can't create %APPDATA%\GnuCash (in which case the trace file should have a
warning)
3. %USER%\.gnucash doesn't exist
A variation of 3. can be that you changed the HOME variable in the gnucash
environment file or you have set GNC_DOT_DIR to point to another directory.
In those cases the migration will never happen and the user should do this
manually.
