[GNC] gnucash file name after move from ubuntu 20.04 to debian 10

[Richard Danielson]

Hello,

I recently moved my computer system (and gnucash) from ubuntu 20.04 to 
debian 10.  After installing debian, I copied my /home directory to the 
new system.  Previous to the move I had upgraded to version 4.2 on flatpak.

After the transition, the file name for the gnucash data file became 
extended to something like 'my name'.gnucash.20200912164616.gnucash.  
That was probably related to the last update to gnucash which I made 
before the change in operating system.

Now the update log files are still looking like this - 'my 
name'.gnucash.20200912171222.gnucash.  The most recent file name seems 
to be 'my name'.gnucash.20200912171222.gnucash.20201208000513.gnucash 
and the most recent log file seems to be 'my 
name'.gnucash.20200912171222.gnucash.20201208000514.log.

Without doing irreparable damage to things, can I change the name of the 
gnucash file to 'my name.gnucash or something simple like that without 
wrecking things?  I should note that since my original post about a year 
ago, and after Adrien's admonitions, I did do reconciliation of a couple 
of accounts (bank and credit cards) and just kept the system account 
going in the same file from 2019 to 2020.  Therefore I would not like to 
shoot myself in the foot (or the eye) by destroying the data file.  
Thanks in advance.

As an aside to my original note last year on the first rule of carpentry 
(...there's always time to do a job twice), I would like to offer the 
second rule of carpentry:  If you cut a board too short, cut it again.
