I just noticed that myself. I was in column view and had navigated to my home folder, but the previous (higher level) columns were still visible and that option was not available. Only when I double-clicked my home folder did it appear.  Perhaps Eric was experiencing the same thing?

Regards,
Adrien

If you're using Icon or List view you can double-click on your home directory to make it primary. If you're in column view you can either switch temporarily to one of the others or you can drag your home directory to the sidebar and then click on it there.

I think I used to store the data in the fold err office data, but all the files in that directory or old.  No matter where I’ve looked, the only files I find that are recent are .log files.  I can’t find any newer files with the .gnucash or the .gcm extensions.  I’m lost here and the tax man is breathing down my neck.
