[GNC] where did it go

[David Cousens]

Teresa,

When you created your new book and account heirarchy you have to save the
file to do that so it will be on your disk somewhere. You just need to find
where in your files it was saved. It will have the name <filename>.gnucash 
where <filename> is the name you originally gave it. It will also have in
the same directory, backup and log files with the format:
<filename>.gnucash.<timestamp>.gnucash
<filename>.gnucash.<timestamp>.log 
where <timestamp> is a string with format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.

If you main data file truly has no data in it then the backups may be your
saviour as you can open a previous backup and then import the log files
created after that if necessary

There is in the Edit->Preferences General tab a preference for an autosave
time. Setting this means any work is automatically saved to your file.

I generally create a directory for each book  to contain the gnucash data
file and its backup and log files so they are all kept together and not
mixed up with other files. You can also set how many of the log and backup
files are retained in the preferences.
