[GNC] Why doesn't GnuCash have an Export function?

[David H]

All you need to do is copy your data file to another machine so you don't
need an export function just Ctrl/Cmd-C Ctrl/Cmd-V.  I quite happily
copy/sync Data file /  Saved Reports/  Preferences between MacOS, Win 10
Pro, Win 11, Ubuntu.  See the wiki entry re migrating to another pc for
more details on what files you should copy over / backup.

Cheers David H.
