Same here so far, and I’m on M1 as well.

There’s some other variable in your setup.

>>> 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.
