Entering relative dates in report customization
It would be very helpful if it were possible to enter relative date coordinates. For example, I would like to customize an expense barchart that shows me the expenses, in day-resolution, of the last seven days. There is no way to articulate something like "the last seven days".
There are some limited relative date entry options like "Start of this months", "Start of previous months"... why not make this more general? I.e. "X days before today", "X days after today".
"Today" meaning: the day when the report is run.
This would allow for much flexibility in customizing reports, which can…

Listing and entering transactions with ascending date from bottom to top
In GnuCash, transactions are listed from top to bottom with ascending date, i.e. new transactions are always entered at the bottom of an account.
By idea/request is to optionally have it the other way around, i.e. it should be possible to enter new trasactions at the top of the list of an account, and have the new entries above the older entries.
Reason: all other tables I use for my finances (bank and credit card statements, etc) have the newest transaction always added on top of the list. This is in Japan. And in the long run it drives me…

The way taxes are shown on business invoices.
In printing business invoices the item includes tax but the total does not. It should be the other way around.
this is an example of how it should be done (or at least how it is done in the US).
item, quantity, price, tax, total
shoes| 1| $40| $2.64| $42.64this is an example of how it is now
item, quantity, price, tax, total
shoes| 1| $42.64| $2.64| $40.00I'm not sure why the invoicing is done this way but my feeling is it probably has something to do with the difference between US and European taxing systems.

Resurrect the old Tax Report format
Previously, the user tagged accounts as 'tax-related' and could produce a quite usable Tax report from this.
Currently, the Tax Report is aligned with the US tax system, the report is unusable for most of the rest of the world and is difficult or impossible to produce work-arounds from.
My only work-around is to run an older version of GnuCash (with the 'proper' report format) in a virtual machine environment just to produce one report at tax time.
I have tried to install the desired report format from an older version, following instructions from one of the forums, but it…6 votes -
Prompt the user to save on exit when working in an unsaved book
Currently it's possible to cancel out of the initial Gnucash account-creation dialog, manually create accounts, add dozens of transactions, and then close Gnucash without saving. There's no warning or prompt if you do this; all the work is just gone. (No save file appears in the default locations, and running the resulting .log file just makes Gnucash crash.)
I propose that Gnucash actually make it impossible to create new accounts, transactions, etc. without having a save file or database. If the user doesn't have one, he/she should be forced to create one before creating an account.

Open numerous GnuCash files at once in tabs
Currently, I have a situation where personal and company transactions inter-relate (e.g. dividend payments, loans). Personal and Company files are completely separate and cannot be linked (there is another suggestion in thsi regard!).
How about providing for numerous Gnucash files to be open at the same time, with toggling using tabs at the top at the page. That makes it easier to enter the corresponding transactions in both files.
Currenlty, it is possible to open concurrent versions of GnuCash, but that is less userfriendly.

Fix the moving Entry Date problem by getting rid of entry time.
Reference: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137017
Currently GnuCash stores the entry date by setting it to midnight local time then converting it to timezone Z (which is either UTC or GMT depending on the operating system). Changing timezone to the west will change the entry date to the day before.
This proposal would fix the problem by saving only the date, without any timezone adjustments, so it would remain fixed regardless of the timezone in which it was entered.

Sort by Register Titles
Click on Description in the Register Titles, and have it sort the Payee List by Name 'Alphabetically' in order to find a payment quickly. Then click on Date and it returns to a Sort by Date list, Click on Amount and find a transaction by the particular amount.
I sure would appreciate it!

Reports: Placeholder accounts should link to CoA
Some reports allow accounts to be links. That is, if clicked, a new Tab opens for this account.
For typical placeholder accounts, this behavior is not desirable, as they are typically empty. Rather, they should jump to the according account in the chart of accounts and give focus to it.
This would be usefull for many common reports, like balance sheet or income statement, which typically show top level accounts or only 1-2 layers deep, which often still are placeholder accounts.

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 Nand 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.
paste the…

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.

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.

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.

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
