Please clarify with what you mean with "manually opening the book from the 
link" ?

This may be a separate issue. I don't know of the top of my head where the 
last run date for scheduled transactions is stored. I'd expect in the gnucash 
data file, but if it's in metadata, you may have to copy your metadata to a 
location where flatpaks actually look for it. If you want to pursue this 
further I suggest to start a new mailing list thread for this to avoid trying 
to handle too much in one go.

I also don't understand what you mean with this. I thought the whole 
experiment was with using the gnucash flatpak. So I presumed it to be 
installed already ? So what exactly is the difference you're trying to point 
out with this ?
