  1. 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.

  3. Add more keyboard shortcuts, at least for "Remove Other Splits" and "Split Transaction"

    ...or add a Preference item "New Split Transactions are always empty"

  5. 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.

  6. 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!

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

    paste the…

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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

  16. 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:

    It contains just one transaction at a time (instead of all…
