[GNC] move files into sub folder

[Adrien Monteleone]

The GnuCash datafile ends in .gnucash.

Simply create your desired folder and move the file there. Then (if on Windows or Linux) double-click the data file to open it and GnuCash will remember its new location. Otherwise (or on a Mac) Open GnuCash first, (it will fail to find the last used file because you moved it) and choose File > Open and then navigate to the new location and select the data file and click `Open`.

There may be other files (logs, backups) associated with your GnuCash data file, you can move them all to the same place. (but GnuCash will create new ones in the new directory anyway)

Regards,
Adrien

Instead they are mixed in with the other files for my business. I'd like to put all the GnuCash files in one folder (let's call it GnuCashFiles) and have the program add any new files to that folder. How do I tell the program where the files are? I haven't seen the name of the file they are currently in, so I don't know what to edit.
