[GNC] Recovering from logs

[David T.]

Statements a, b, and c are correct.  
  
  
  
  
  Line 4 is a log file for changes during the 5 minutes you had GnuCash 
open at 12:58:57.  *Something* got changed, although I wouldn't know what 
that would be.  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  These are the newest four files in my gnucash directory:: 
  
  
  
  
  -rw-r--r-- 1 edg edg 1299882 Dec 31 12:53 
edg-from-2025-12-04.gnucash.20251231125857.gnucash 
  
  -rw-r--r-- 1 edg edg    4809 Dec 31 12:58 
edg-from-2025-12-04.gnucash.20251231125358.log 
  
  -rw-r--r-- 1 edg edg 1300077 Dec 31 12:58 edg-from-2025-12-04.gnucash 
  
  -rw-r--r-- 1 edg edg     170 Dec 31 12:58 
edg-from-2025-12-04.gnucash.20251231125857.log 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The files are all based on 
  
  
  
  
  edg-from-2025-12-04.gnucash 
  
  
  
  
  From top to bottom, I'll call them 1, 2, 3, 4 for ease of writing and 
reading. 
  
  
  
  
  *Please tell me if any of these statements are wrong, and if you can 
answer the fourth statement, I'd appreciate it.* 
  
  
  
  
  * Line 3 is my main file as saved after the last run. 
  
  
  
  
  * Line 1 is the file before I started the last session 
  
  
  
  
  * Line 2 is the log of the transactions that took me from line 1 to line 
3.   If I open the file on line 1 and replay the log on line 2, I should 
get something that matches line 3. 
  
  
  
  
  * Line 4 has no files, just a set of headers. It seems newer than the 
main gnucash file on line 3, so I wonder what it is ever for. 
  
  
  
  
  Thanks,
