To revisit this again: Which of the buttons represent a use-case that is actually really used?

- "Open anyway" - gnucash has crashed. Probably used regularly.

- "Create new file" - does anyone actually use this one here at this location?

- "Quit" - was added as a specific RFE in bug#92191 which said "most of the time, this means you accidentally opened a second copy of gnucash when one was already open".

I propose to add the button

- "Open a different file" - if you want to run two gnucash instances with a different file each.

And we should think about throwing out the button "Create new file", because I think the decision of starting a new file is seldomly made at this accidental startup dialog. Actually this used to be the option "Don't open anything", but as this in turn is even more confusing, it was replaced by "Create new file" here http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/changeset/7244 (wow, that's a long time ago).
