Gnucash 3.1 is supposed to migrate from this directory to
c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash

I don't know why this didn't happen for you.

This directory should be generated as part of the first-time run of gnucash
3.1.

Can you do an experiment to help evaluate the migration step ?
Can you
1. quit gnucash if it's still running
2. rename
"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash"
to
"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash.bkp"
That moves it out of the way of gnucash.
3. Start gnucash
=> Does it report a migration of meta data ?
4. Quit gnucash
5. Locate the most recent trace file [1] and post it here.

Indeed. You manually completed the migration. I would like to figure out
why
this didn't happen in the first place.

Thanks,

Geert -

Thanks for the suggestion - trace file contents below. I didn't see any
note about migration of metadata, and Gnucash did not migrate my old
reports or lots. The manual migration works, however. Thanks for the
responses!

Ethan
