[GNC] How to change default book/file to open in GC 2.6 under

[rsbrux]

P.S.  The new file appears in the recently opened files list in GC, but in
position 2.
The old file is in position 1.

Dear Adrien,
Thanks for the tip, but I already tried that (several times).  GC still
opens the old book/file

Open Gnucash, it will open the last used book.

If it is the old one, then go to File > Open, and choose the new book.

Close Gnucash.

When you re-open Gnucash, it should still open the last used book, but this
time, that will be the new one.

Regards,
Adrien
