Hi,
I've been using GNU cash for years and have loved it.
I recently upgraded my Linux from OpenSUSE 42.3 to Leap 15.1. From memory
I was on GnuCash 2.6. Now on 3.0-lp151.2.57
When I open an existing file (from the past release) and resave, the saved
file gets an error when opening. The message is "There was an error
parsing the file ..."
Luckily I have a copy of the previous version.
The file is quite large: 1.9 MB as a gnucash file and 26MB once unzipped.
I have a second set of books (a different entity) that is much smaller (643
KB) and with it I can save and re-open.
I tried opening the old copy of the large file again, running a Check and
repair and then saving. The result is the same - it won't open.
I have installed release 3.7 on a VirtualBox Windows 10 host and it is able
to load, save and re-open the files that won't open on the OpenSUSE 3.0
version.
Is there some way to resolve the issue on Linux so that I don't have to run
VirtualBox to update my accounting?
Cheers,
David.
