[GNC] Transaction Report issue when using GC from 2 locations via Google Drive

[Manfred Usselmann]

In addition:

For syncing settings as well under Linux I use the following start 
script to import settings before running gnucash and export settings 
afterwards with dconf:

8< --------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# Start GnuCash with import and export of settings
#
HOME_DIR="${HOME}"
GNUCASH="$(command -v gnucash)"
[ "$?" -ne 0 ] && { echo 'gnucash: command not found.'; exit 1; }
DCONF_BKP="${HOME_DIR}/.config/gnucash/preferences.dconf"
if [ -f "${DCONF_BKP}" ]; then
     dconf load /org/gnucash/ < "${DCONF_BKP}"
fi
"${GNUCASH}" $*
dconf dump /org/gnucash/ > "${DCONF_BKP}"
8< --------------------------------------------

Under MacOS X the following directory is used: 
~/Library/Preferences/gnucash.plist.

Under Windows the windows registry is used to store the settings under 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/GSettings. You could use Powershell or the 
command line to import and export the settings. Use e.g. "reg export /?" 
to get detailed help.

I do synchronize the following directories. They are not all required at 
the same time, some are for older and some for newer versions of gnucash 
and aqbanking. This is for Linux. As Adrien said, check the wiki for the 
correct locations for your operating system and which you need for your 
version of GnuCash:

.aqbanking
.gnucash
.abtransfers
.local/share/gnucash
.gconf/apps/gnucash
.config/gnucash

Regards,
Manfred
