[GNC] Migrating from PC to Mac

[Martin Taylor]

Hi Adrien

Thanks for your reply
I am indeed up and running and because I only had a couple of saved report configurations, it has been straightforward enough to simply recreate them ;-)

One slight puzzle is that from the Gnucash dialogue box, I can locate the data file when its on the Mac in desktop or wherever, but if I move the datafile to iCloud, I can’t find an option to navigate to that destination from the Gnucash Open file pop-up box.  Not a game breaker, and possibly just a configuration issue, I can attach a screenshot if that was helpful

Those should be addressed by the Wiki if you look in the FAQ for backup/file locations. If you copy over those files respectively, you should be mostly back in business as if there were no transition.
