  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. to validate the xml file against a XML schema while writing.

    Validate the xml file against a XML schema while writing to avoid breaking the file (see bug #696282 what happens, if you don't do it).

  8. Post receipt of funds without having an invoice for POS transactions

    I run a fairly active website with several purchases per day (upwards of 50) and it is very tedious to have to create an invoice, them pay it. It would be nice to be able to post a payment the same way an invoice is created, but post to cash account and then to sales account.

  9. Show the custom reports in a submenu for one-click access

    The custom reports currently require at least 4 clicks in order to access:
    * Click Reports
    * Click Custom Reports
    * Select the report and click Run

    It would be slick if the custom reports could populate a submenu, with an option at the bottom, Show All, which would bring up the current custom reports dialog.

    Custom Reports
    -> My 2-year expense report
    -> My 2-year profit report
    ----------- (divider)
    -> Show All

  10. Restore default behaviour of ‘Delete’ key in text edit fields

    When editing a text field (such as the inline-edit of an account description, in the chart of accounts), please keep the default behaviour of all text editing keys.

    Currently the ‘Delete’ key does not behave as expected while editing the account name: it behaves like a request to delete the account entirely, and aborts the editing of the name.

    This should instead have the default behaviour for ‘Delete’ while editing text: delete the character following the cursor, and continue editing.

  11. Report Option: Selecting Accounts

    The common report option to select accounts should use checkboxes rather than highlighting.

    The list is (for most users) rather long and scrolling is common. Between trying to select / deselect accounts and scrolling it happenes ever so often, one clicks somewhere and has now only one account selected where before there as a handpicked list...

    Checkboxes just make selection easier. Also, depending on GUI, toggling checkboxes can also be done with several at once, so this feature is not lost due to the proposed change.

  15. Import time data .csv or .xls

    It would be AMAZING for GnuCash to be able to import .csv or .xls data from time tracking software, and then apply said data to an invoice, with the ability to list out individual items/tasks on the invoice

  16. Provide an option so invoices print by default formatted for #10 window envelopes.

    I suggest you provide an options to format an invoice for a standard #10 window envelope. This will allow us to stuff the bill in the mail without having to print separate customer addess labels.

  17. multicurrency transaction reports

    Target: Foreign Business Travel Reporting

    Suggestion: Add an "other account amount" check-box to the display tab in the transaction report settings. This provides a column in which amounts from foreign cash accounts are displayed directly without recalculation, and includes 3 letter or currency symbol with the amount.

    For International Business Travelers.

    Foreign business expense reports need to include:
    The foreign cost, exchange rate, and local currency equivalent, and the submitted receipts need to match amounts reported.

    This in turn displays an additional column displaying actual amounts reported from foreign currency accounts ( with the 3 letter currency / symbol

  18. While open the GNU cash main window there should be a option to select the account. Like a drop down list to select the file.

  19. Provide support for importing historic stock quotes

    Quotes are now downloaded through the perl libary Finance::Quote. I would appreciate the ability to to download historic quote information (through Finance::QuoteHist, for example) so I can better see (for example) net worth accurately over time. Timespans could be typed or selectable via calendar widgets, and existing quote data be ignored or overwritten if data exists on any particular date.

  20. Transfer field alignment setup in the register views

    Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700408

    The content of the Transfer column in all the Register views is right-aligned, and this cannot be changed.
    It would be preferable to have the alignment setup controlled by the user according to their personal preference. I think the right-alignment choice was motivated by the designer's need to have
    the most relevant information remain visible all the time, especially when the account names are too long and the view cannot be widened beyond certain limit. However, left-aligned text is much easier to read and browse through. Also, the current large screens are much more widespread nowadays…
