[GNC] Lost Files

[Adrien Monteleone]

I'm not sure about the cause of the initial crash, but it sounds like 
you might have been using a different file when the crash happened. Upon 
re-launching GnuCash, it opened a different file from back when you had 
that report opened and then closed GnuCash. (last saved state of that file)

Do you normally start GnuCash by double-clicking files, or by clicking 
the app icon?

Do you see files in your data folder with date/time stamps preceding the 
.gnucash extension but otherwise named like your book?

If so can you determine by modified date which file you were last using?

Finally, any reason you haven't moved to 4.4?

Regards,
Adrien
