[GNC] Migrating from PC to Mac

[David Reiser]

The one issue that hasn’t been brought up today is that you can’t double click on the data file and have it launch gnucash on a mac.

So, Launch gnucash. Click on the file menu. Choose “Open…” and use the file dialog to navigate to and select your data file.
