[GNC] Issue with Backup and Log Files

[Ivan Miotto]

Hello everyone,
I just joined this mailing list, and I hope this is the correct way to request support.
I am experiencing an issue with the management of backups and log files in GnuCash.
When I create a new file, the backup is saved correctly in the format .gnucash.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.gnucash. However, in my main file, which I have been using for years, the backup is not created in the correct format, and only log files are saved.
Additionally, I have noticed that even if I set the log file retention to “Never,” GnuCash still continues to generate log files. This issue occurs only with my main file and not with newly created files.
My questions are:
1. Why does my main file not generate backups in the correct format and only save log files?
2. Why does GnuCash continue to create log files even when I set the retention option to “Never”?
System information:
• Operating system: macOS Sequoia on an M-series processor
• GnuCash version: 5.10
• Build ID: 5.10+(2024-12-14)

Thank you for your support!

Best regards.
Ivan
