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?????

Make the import dialog keyboard friendly
When importing bank transactions, the current import dialog requires us to double click each entry to assign an account. It would be much more efficient to be able to use the keyboard to navigate through the transactions and type in an account to assign the transaction to. In effect, the import dialog would behave a little more like the standard transaction view.

Rearrange Reports
The current income statement adds up all income and gives a subtotal. Then it adds up all expenses and gives a subtotal. Then it nets them out for total income/loss.
I need to be able to customize the income statement sorting the order of the accounts and adding subtotals where needed. For example, there is no way to create operating income by subtracting operating expenses from Sales. I'd like to break it down further and include a gross profit by subtracting GOGS from sales. Then subtract other operating costs to get Operating income. Then add other income and expenses such…

API or Import format for allow writing Android/iOS Apps
Either:
* port the API to Android or
* create a simple XML import+export format that maps 1:1 to transactions with multiple splits (no bayes, no limit on 2 splits per transaction) and allows removal of existing transactions with the same id
* provide another means to add+remove transactions without a desktop computerand without user interaction6 votes -
Sort transactions on Date&Number
Allow ordering of transactions by both date and number. Currently sorting by date only generally gives the required order, but can occasionally get mixed up if transactions are entered at different times (or on different machines). Sorting on date and number would allow the number to be used to achieve the required date order sequence (such as to match a bank account listing).

Another request came in which seems to clarify this issue. As it was sent by Anonymous I’m not sure it’s from the same person. As they deal with the same issue I have merged them together. A simple comment on this request would have been sufficient as well.
Anyway it looks the default sorting as you are asking for only happens on the register pages and not in the reports. I have reverted the status of this request.

CSV Import to Liability Account - Column Naming for Debit/Credit
I import transactions from my CC statements and LOC accounts by using exported CSV files. The import dialog uses the terms "Withdrawal" and "Deposit" to indicate whether the transaction was a debit or credit. I found the terms a bit ambiguous when it referred to a liability account because, in my mind, a withdrawal could indicate a decrease in credit and a deposit could indicate an increase in credit.
I recommend that it should be possible to choose the wording for these column headings to debit/credit and that when a liability account is chosen the transactions are properly added as…

Specify seperate folder for backup and log files
Currently sharing a GnuCash account via DropBox is messy because the shared folder keeps having to synchronise a massive number of log and backup files. Would be preferable to have these files stored in a non-shared folder so that only the main account file would need to be synchronised on change.
