I want files the gnucash files (v5.6 flatpak install)  to save into
/home/documents/gnudata.) . Instead it places the files .log, .lck
,gnucash, into the home directory above all my other working folders.

Right now I found a workaround. Manually, I create the folder
/home/documents/gnudata and move  the  gnucash files from the home
directory into I click on the .gnucash file  and the application comes on
the screen.

My Linux Distro is Mint 21.3
Gnucash application opens fine when clicked from
/home/documents/gnudata/.xxxx.gnucash
If I click the save button in the GnuCash Application  the
Post-Transaction files (build .log, .lck ,gnucash) go straight
to /home/documents/gnudata without any actions by me. If I don't hit the
GnuCash save buton the files go back to  home directory

Thank You
