Thanks Adrien.

I did go through the wiki link David sent... very helpful. However, I 
had not noticed links on the About page for the change in location for 
data and config with my 5.13 to 5.16 update. Now, placing my previous 
saved-reports-2.8 into the ~/.var/app/... folder did bring back my reports.

However, I note that when printing cheques, the Custom Cheques choice 
for building a Cheque template does not seem to work and placing my 
previous templates in the Check folder [~/.var/app/...] does not work. 
Although I have yet to try editing the cheques templates in Checks 
folder at /var/lib/flatpak/app/... Given the problem I am having with 
stylesheets, I am not uncertain if modifying check templates will help.

Stylesheets are still a problem. I had a number of custom stylesheets, 
for donations receipts among other requirements. Adding my previous 
stylesheets-2.0 to the ~/.var/app/... folder resulted in the file being 
overwritten when I opened Gnucash. I tried adding new stylesheets but 
they are not there when I close and reopen Gnucash. Also, almost every 
edit I tried with existing stylesheets where not there when I closed and 
reopened Gnucash. Oddly though, I was able to get an Image file saved in 
the Footer stylesheet. So, editing and creating new stylesheets are not 
working.

While I have not checked every print option, Print Invoice has changed 
dramatically with a Template File [taxinvoice.equile.scm] and a CSS 
Stylesheet File [taxinvoice.css] that cannot be changed, edited or 
replaced by a new custom file. Other changes to invoices with Print 
Invoice are great... if I can get to the the template and/or the 
stylesheet file . How do I do that?

So, how do I get access to modify Print Check choices, stylesheets, and 
invoice options? Are there any problems with statement and report 
templates and stylesheets? (i have not gotten tho those yet.)

Thanks, Richard

    "All three of those are in GNC_DATA_HOME per the Files section of that page.

    Scrolling above that where the locations are defined, GNC_DATA_HOME is a
    sub-directory of USER_DATA_HOME, thus copy those relevant (or all) files
    from the original location:

    $HOME/.local/share/gnucash

    to the Flatpak location:

    $HOME/.var/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/data/gnucash"
