I’ve found the relevant file here:

~/Library/Preferences/org.gnucash.Gnucash.plist

but I can’t locate the Key that defines the maximum number of recently-used files for display (hereinafter called “MRU_MAX"), which defaults to 4 on my iMac Catalina running 4.4.

I notice that the Keys org.gnucash.history.file0 to org.gnucash.history.file9 contain fully qualified filenames for the ten books I have opened most recently, which suggests that MRU_MAX up to 10 could be supported if the default of 4 were changed.

There seems not to ba a way of adjusting MRU_MAX using GnuCash’s Preferences, so I’m stuck!

Regards,

Michael
