My laptop died recently but I managed to recover all of the home
directory and I'm setting up another one. Looking through the copy of
$HOME from the old one, I find gnucash-related files in the following
locations:
~/.gnucash (no files changed since 01/2019)
~/.cache/gnucash (... 05/2020)
~/.config/gnucash (empty, changed 05/2020)
~/.local/share/gnucash (has timestamps from the day I last
ran gnucash)
as well as the directory where I save the main file.
>From looking at the contents and the GnuCash wiki, I think that I can
discard ~/.gnucash because ~/.local/share/gnucash has completely
superseded it, but I'm surprised that ~/.config/gnucash is empty. And
I think the .cache stuff is supposed to be discardable.
Any advice or suggestions? (I'm using Ubuntu-MATE.)
Thanks,
Adam
