[GNC] Linked location

[Joseph St. Denis]

I use gnucash in Windows 11 and all of my attached files are attached by my OneDrive account so both my laptop and desktop are sync I only have to wait for the sync to my OneDrive is finished. If I close the computer before the sync is finished the computer will finish the process when I turn the laptop back on. 
All the best

Well, putting transaction attachment files into subdirectories under the 
attachment root  won't work —

— since Windows & Linux use different path markers.

I can assure you from experience that it works fine when the book file 
remains on a single computer. It even works fine when the book file and 
associated transactions directory reside in a per-year Finances 
directory, and the entire book file and transactions directory get 
copied forward each year to the new per-year Finances directory.
