  1. Paste the text with line feeds into many parts of splitted transaction.

    It could be great, have a possibility to copy from some text file a text such as

    Goods 1
    Goods 2
    ....
    Goods N

    and paste this text into "Memo" not in only one row with line feeds, but create for each line of text new row in this split transaction.
    If there is already some row - the just insert the text. Would be completely great, if paste of such text will work for "Transfer", "Deposit" and "Withdraw".

    Such function helps for registration of the receipts, that are recognized by some other software for optical character recognition.

  3. Printable business receipts

    In addition to the ability to print business invoices, I think that it would be a good idea to generate business receipts for the paid invoices.

  4. Add way to attach Check Image to items; images remain hidden unless the cell is selected. Some report supporting.

    Images could be left in flat file and stored by reference. Support for a good compression file type, setting and reduction to b/w might make them more managably small. An images supporting report can print each check below the item on the same page.

  5. Add 'Notes' field to 'New Job' form

    I often have a long description of my job and use the 'Job Name' field of 'New Job' form to store it, as this is the only text field available. I'd like to have a 'Notes' field in this form like in other forms, e.g.: new Customer, Vendor, Invoice or Bill.

  7. categorize the Mac build as public.app-category.finance

    Applications folders in OS X get large quickly because people don't usually subfolder them. View --> Arrange by Application Category makes it easier, but if there's no LSApplicationCategoryType key in the app's info.plist, the app is sorted into "Other" at the bottom. https://developer.apple.com/library/Mac/releasenotes/General/SubmittingToMacAppStore/#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010572-CH16-SW8

  9. Enhance Online Bank Transactions Workflow

    I use Gnucash für almost five years now for my private finances as well as for my company's. It's the best open source accounting software available. Thanks a lot for that!

    Observing my personal workflow I realise that I spent most of the time in the online transactions tool inputting the accounts to be booked in. Although the Bayes algorithm is kind of a help here, it could easily be saved a lot of time with a few alterations.

    Some ideas on that:

    I. New online transactions import dialog.
    It contains just one transaction at a time (instead of all…

  10. Add custom step size option to reports

    Many of my bills and my income happen only every two months... it would be great to actually be able to have custom step sizes in the Report Options, I guess this shouldn't be overly complicated to implement... thanks!

  11. Add new currency: "IRT (Iranian Toman)"

    Because while IRR is the government's official currency, people rarely use it, and practically all Iranians use IRT instead of IRR.

  14. Allow transactions to be hidden from Reconcile window

    It is common, when budgeting, to notionally 'move' money around (say into Reserve accounts) by Crediting the Bank account and Debiting a reserve account.

    This allows the Bank account to always show the 'real' money available rather than the actual value within the bank.

    At the moment, creating these transactions to notionally 'move' money around also makes them show up in the Reconcile window. This leaves a lot of unwanted entries to scroll through when reconciling actual (real) bank transactions.

    I suggest an extra option under the R column to mark an entry as 'hidden' (or 'virtual', 'ignored', or whatever…

  15. Option to chose the style of currency symbols

    Add an option to choose the display mode of currency symbols (i.e. ISO codes or symbols). I've been using GnuCash for years with multiple currencies and I really prefer to use the ISO names instead of the symbols. I've noted also that, since recent versions, GnuCash favor the use of symbols and, when a symbol is not available for a given currency, the ISO name is printed/shown just to the left of the numeric value without spaces.

  16. Individual codes for invoice items

    I'd like to be able to type in a part number to add line items to each line for an invoice. Currently, we type in the description field, and if we've entered that item before, it may pre-fill out the field - however, if I have multiple items with descriptions that are similar - I'd like to have the option of just putting in a shorter version of the item into the invoice (i.e. instead of typing every bit of: "Radish, Red Rambo (quart)" every time - I'd like to assign a part number to it,a nd have it already…

  17. Implement the tips window in a separate thread

    Currently the tips window is unusable while the app continues to load, which takes a good 30 seconds on my (slow) machine. Would be nice to be able to review the tips in that time.

  18. Macros

    We need a simple macro facility. For example, I have international transactions. The process of calculating exchange rates and so forth is very straightforward, but tedious. I currently use a calculator. How cooler to have a simple macro facility? Click a button and just have it happen. It's not rocket science, just 1.61xX kind of stuff

  19. use OFX data for liability accounts (Credit Cards, Loans, Lines of Credit) to populate a report with a table similar to t "Personal Capital"

    use OFX data for liability accounts (Credit Cards, Loans, Lines of Credit) to populate a report with a table similar to the "Bills" page on "Personal Capital." The table should show "Due Date" "Account" "Statement Balance" "Minimum Due" and "Current Balance" data for any liability accounts that provide this information. Manually created payments (loans) would be appropriate to show on a report/table like this, too.
