[GNC] GC crashing after upgrade

[Flyeta]

For me, MacOS (I’m on Sonoma 14.5) opens the file with the most recent version of Gnucash. I’ve suffixed all my  Gnucash versions with the version number (Gnucash-5.6, etc.). 

There is a user setting available by choosing “Get Info” on any data file that allows one to “Open with:” and choose the desired application to open that file when the data file is double-clicked. One can then click a “Change All..” button to “Use this application to open all documents like this one,” presumably with the same filename suffix. This all worked as expected for me when I tested making Gnucash-5.1 the default application. 

I don’t know how all that works "under the hood”.
