In the latter case you’d still have the log files. There’s at present there’s no way to tell GnuCash to move the previous XML file to another directory nor to write the log files to another directory.
It would be _really_ helpful to be able to configure the (sub?)directory for these files. Most times there is no need to clutter the main directory with all the extra files, and if they are ever needed they can be copied into the main directory to replace the main book
