Michael,

Well, okay. I'll find where to mention it.

That's me. :-)

Here, for several decades, it's all in /data/gnucash/personal and
../business. I let the *datetime.log and *datetime.gnucash files accumulate
until I decide to remove them leaving only the CoA and most recent *.gnucash
files. I could write a short bash shell script and have cron run that once a
week or so but it's not been enough of a nuisance to do so.

Stay well,
