[GNC] how to know the path of the current gnucash account set being used?

[arthur brogard]

I found it.  Never noticed it before.  

Simply click 'File' in the main menu and a menu drops down and beneath 'properties' at the bottom of it I have 4 gnucash books listed, named,  numbered.If I hover over any one of them the full path is displayed at the bottom of the gnucash window.
Too easy.  Just exactly what I was looking for. They anticipated me years ago.  :)

 That is odd, because GnuCash has been showing the full path in the bottom border of the main window in Windows and Linux versions when flying over each of the filenames in the open recent list for decades.

I didn't know this was possible, so I tried it on my M1 iMac running 14.6.1
and it didn't work.
