[GNC] Merge gnucash files

[David Cousens]

Joe,

One possibility is to copy the log file which takes in the transactions you wish to have copied into the other file and
open it with the other copy of gnucash. I don't know if this will work or not but it is worth a try. not sure whether
the replay  log file capability chekcs that the file opened is a backup copy of the current data file or not before
importing it. If it does check the file identity renaming it may help. Problematical if there are any differences in
account structures though  I keep my files in a dropbox account so I can access them from any of several devices (but
not at the same time). Other options are to use a file synchronization program like Unison to keep the files in sync
after any changes are made.
