[GNC] GNUCash 4.9

[Adrien Monteleone]

The file names listed appear to have more than one date stamp:

"1223GNUCASH.gnucash.20...0103063517.gnucash.LCK
1223GNUCASH.gnucash.201...cash.20220103114501.log "

That would imply the last stamp before the '.gnucash.LCK' and '.log' 
extensions were the stamp when they were made, (which you are 
describing) but it appears there is an earlier stamp as part of the 
filename. ('1223GNUCASH.gnucash.20...' & '1223GNUCASH.gnucash.201...cash')

In that is the case, these are locks and logs of backup files, meaning 
Steve is working in a backup file, not the original.

If Steve provides those full names without truncation, I'd bet that 
would show this to be the case.

Regards,
Adrien
