Description bugzilla.10.elbenfreund 2015-05-07 15:00:38 UTC 
Dear devs,

thanks for your ongoing and wonderfull work on gnucash.
when asked for a "save to" location creating a new "account" the "file open" dialog invalidates not only the presumably invalid ".gnucash" folder (as it is used by gnucash iternaly) but also any folder starting with the string ".gnucash". Such as ".gnucash_konten" and the like.

if i can contribute any further information, please let me know.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.
