Add a "Process Payment" button
As far as business transactions are concerned, "Process payment" is about as common as "Create New Invoice"
I don't like to go through two nested menus every time I want to receive a payment.
I'd like to see a button next to the invioce button.

Add Classes To HTML Report
In order to properly format printed reports for maximum layout and style flexibility, it would be ideal for Gnucash to:
1) Generate html code with classes for all elements such as tables and divs. Also enclose all text data with the <span> tag.
2) Allow users to set the path to a local 'custom.css' file, which would then be declared in the report as:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/home/user/gnucash/css/custom.css">
3) Allow Gnucash to output the pdf file using the html report as input.
This would go a long way for users that need more than the basic printouts produced by the…

Process Payment Facility - Fundamental Function Not Fully Developed
The way to receive a payment and apply it to a customer's invoice is a basic function that has not been fully developed in Gnucash.
Currently there is only one convoluted way to process a payment, and that is through the top menu only. One has to manually find the invoice and do several clicks. If you have multiple payments to receive, this is a rather sloth procedure.
I'd like to request the following features that would improve a very fundamental function:
1) In the 'Customers' window, place a button on the toolbar labeled 'Process Payment'. When a customer is…

Make budget amounts bubble up to parent accounts
Assume the following hierarchy:
Expenses:Groceries:Food
Expenses:Groceries:Non-Food
Expenses:Personal:Hobbies:Music
Expenses:Personal:Hobbies:Sports
Expenses:Personal:EntertainmentCurrently, if I set Expenses:Personal:Hobbies:Sports to $30.00 for the month of January, that's all that shows up. I would like that $30.00 to bubble up and fill or add to the total for Expenses:Personal:Hobbies, Expenses:Personal and Expenses. That way, if I know I only make $1000 per month, I can make sure that I don't overbudget, or that if I do, I'm at least aware of it. In the above example, I might manually enter the following for january:
Expenses:Personal:Hobbies:Sports - $30.00
Expenses:Personal:Hobbies:Music - $50.00
Expenses:Groceries:Food - $150.00
Expenses:Personal:Entertainment - $30.00…

improve autocomplete of descriptions and categories
Entering transactions, gnucash often guesses wrong about what my intent is. I'm okay with that. What I'm not okay with is that the wrong guesses mess up my continuing input.
If I type "Ama" and then it autocompletes "Amazon", then I should be able continue typing to get it to change the autocomplete to "Amazing" by typing "zi".
When matching account names, if I type ":" then it should lock in the current autocomplete up through the next ":" in the account name.
So, when I type "Ca" and it autocompletes "Car:Gas:R32", I should be able to type "::" to…9 votes -
Allow batch export/printing of files associated with expenses/transactions over time range
One feature I utilize extensively is the "associate file with transaction", so that I have proof of an expense which I deduct against my income. However, for the benefit of someone ever being audited, one should be able to export a year of expenses, and have the receipts automatically labeled and exported in a graphical manner too. I currently use a set of python scripts I wrote to:
1) Determine the transactions that occur over my desired range (i.e. Jan. 1 2016 to Dec. 31 2016).
2) Converts the file for each receipt to a PDF with image magick, and…1 vote -

add keyboard shortcut to jump to the previously edited transaction
After hitting tab/enter to create a new transaction, I often immediately want to edit it. I propose SHIFT-enter to get you to the last transaction you changed.

Fix the position of the CLOSE button
The CLOSE button in the toolbar jumps from the second to the third position (and back) depending upon the tab in use. This has the annoying effect that when closing a series of tabs, one is all too frequently presented with a new invoice! Keeping the CLOSE button in the second position would add a degree of commonality to every tab.

Highlight the current date in the calendar picker
When using the calendar picker, highlight the current date (not just the date selected) to prevent errors in entry. In this example (https://www.screencast.com/t/3LuQToD7) the current date is highlighted in yellow.

Report to print any range of months of a year in a form just like the cash account does
It would need to begin withe bal on hand..then the deposits and check. In arder of occurrence with the ending balance at that point. It would look just like a section of the cash account. It should be fairly easy to do
Says the guy who doesn't have to do it -;). And doesn't have the ability.1 vote -
Have a Minimum Balance setting for accounts
(Perhaps just for checking and savings accounts)
I'd like to be able to specify the Minimum Balance for an account. In the register view the balance would be displayed in red whenever it was below the minimum balance amount, the way it currently does if the balance is below zero.

Investigate slow startup time and make it faster.
On my 2011 i5 work laptop GnuCash takes an age to start up. My accounts file is currently ~900KB. I run demanding programs like Visual Studio and they are faster to start up and load projects. Why is it so slow? GnuCash is also the only program to cause my music playback to stutter when it starts up. I would hope that this situation could be improved - does it really need 40 seconds to get going?

make invoices much more flexible.
The default invoices look ugly and can't be customized to meet the requirements in Germany. So I suggest that you revamp the whole templating system to create reports and invoice in a much more flexible way.

Allow Changing Font Sizes
The font size for the main "Accounts" screen appears not to be settable. It is too small. Old people have bad eyes. We need large fonts. We NEED large fonts.
Make it possible to set all font sizes. Make it easy to find.
PS What are the Style Sheets? Those settings don't appear to affect anything at all. I changed the font sizes for the Style Sheets, but nothing changed on my screen. How can I set the font sizes on my screen?????
