[GNC] Best practice to change name of GnuCash file ("book")?

[Eric Chapman]

Murugan,


That did not work. Now it looks as if I lost everything. I closed down 
GnuCash, changed the name from xxx.gnucash to yyy.gnucash, and clicked 
on yyy.gnucash. A splash screen came up and asked if I wanted to delete 
something, and I said "Yes" (dumb move, I guess!).


Now it opens yyy.gnucash and there is nothing there. Asks if I want to 
import something.


So I changed yyy.gnucash back to xxx.gnucash, and same thing. I did not 
make a back up of xxx.gnucash, so I guess I have the opportunity to 
correct things when I start over :)
