[GNC] RFE: GnuCash's File> Properties menubar item

[David Carlson]

Stan and Glen, Thanks for the comments.

I do like Stan's suggestion.

Glen, One issue that I am concerned about is that to see where the
currently open file is located it would be necessary to use a gimmick such
as File>Save As, which has some potential hazards if an unintended file
write command is executed.

I would invite further comments.
