[GNC] Reports with previous year in different Accounts

Tue Oct 2 12:00:04 EDT 2018

I have a feeling your folder renaming was backwards, but without more detail 
it's hard to tell.

Can you be a bit more specific to what you did exactly ? Lik which folder's 
name did you change ?

And what version of gnucash did you use before and to which version did you 
upgrade ?
