[GNC] Big problem GC 4.6 wiping history list? Mac OS Big Sur

[Robert Kesterson]

FYI I’m running GnuCash 4.6 on Big Sur and not having any issues.   All I did was download it, open the DMG, and drag the GnuCash icon into the applications folder.  It asked if I wanted to replace the existing version, I said yes, it installed, and has been working fine since.

>> Your screenshot didn't make it onto the list, but if GnuCash is asking if you want to delete a file from the history list that means that it can't find the file. You'll want to investigate why that is, but rest assured that GnuCash isn't offering to delete the file, just to remove it from the history list.
