[GNC] Move working files

[David Cousens]

Richard I would suspect the main reason that this feature request has
never been implemented is that it lies at the interface of GnuCash with
the Windows/Linux/MacOSX operating systems and has to work seamlessly
on all of them. That requires a level of both code and multiple OS
familiarity that few of us posess and those that do generally have more
pressing problems to address.
