Well, I'll create a small bash wrapper to run from the command line,
I'm very command line oriented in my use and rarely use the menus or
panel icons.

Yes, I'd probably need something like that, though the equivalent in
my case would be 'cd <somewhere with gnucash data>' and then run my
script to pick up the data file in that directory.


I already have a script that defaults to running my 2021 church
accounts unless you give it a parameter to run something else.
The trouble is that I'm now thinking of using gnucash for something
quite separate.
