Add new ISO code for Zambia: ZMW
I am in Zambia and need the ISO code ZMW for the rebased currency effective 1st Jan 2013. I want to treat this as a new currency so that I can maintain my records in the old (ZMK) and new currencies.
1 voteDone in SVN trunk, so that it will be in version 2.5.2 and all following ones.

Say on your download site whether GC is compatible with Windows 8
Say on your download site whether GC is compatible with Windows 8. I cannot find it anywhere
1 voteThank you for your request. Windows 8 had already been added in the download link some time ago. At this point Windows 10 is already in the wild and there have been several reports of successful use of gnucash on that platform. , So I have just updated the link to mention that as well.

Doubleclick on Placeholder account should open tree not account tab
If a placeholder account is double-clicked in the account tree view, the tree should open rather than opening the placeholder account.
4 votesI have chosen to change the behaviour of all accounts with children: double clicking that account to show/hide its children seems to be the most frequent use case.
You can still open the account itself by using the menu option for that (also available via right-click context menu) -
Built-in PDF export
Gnucash should have a built-in PDF generator, allowing to customize some aspects you can't manipulate when using an external PDF printer - like when you want to print out a specific period of time of transactions within an account (e.g. starting day X and ending day Y).
1 voteThe current 2.6 gnucash series has this feature. Thank you for your request.

Arabic Language
Is there a chance that Arabic language will be added?
8 votesGnucash 2.6 is almost 50% translated in Arabic. Any further improvements are best coordinated with the Arabic translation team. Their website appears to be https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/gnucash-2410/

Add 'Delete Budget' as a menu item, rather than having a button
Currently budgets can only be delete by a button within the budget. This is very hard to find for beginners. It should be a menu item similar to "New Budget", "Open Budget" and "Duplicate Budget". Actually not having it in there made be believe for a long time that you couldn't delete budgets...
0 votesThank you for your request. At least in gnucash 2.6.x, it’s there:
Edit→Delete Budget -
I would like the ability to create a listing of my current monthly bills, then add them to the check register with the updated amounts I owe
I would like the ability to create a listing of my current monthly bills, then add them to the check register with the updated amounts I owe, then I can add them to my register and update the amounts instead of having to manually add them every month.
1 voteAs no further response has been given I’ll close this as sufficiently implemented.

List of current customers and vendors, open bills and invoices
Instead of requiring users to use the search tool to find customers, there should be an optional list of active customers and vendors with balances due.

Chart rendering
For some odd reason, the chart rendering is not properly formatted. For example, the rectangle around the chart image and description of sectors is narrower than the descriptions, so the words are cut short. I've been noticing this for quite a while now. I hoped the chart rendering would improve over time, but so far it is still lacking. Any thoughts on that?
3 votesIn the 2.5.x series, the charts are implemented by a different technology, thus this issue has been fixed there.

Remove PERL version dependency
Please remove Finance::Quote PERL version dependency. GC is often behind versions. E.g. If I install today, cannot download free Perl 5.12 from ActiveState site (only 5.14 now)
1 voteThis has been implemented for gnucash 2.6, which is currently available. Thank you for your request.

Import invoices
I would like to be able to import invoices (created by my shopping cart) into Accounts Receivables. It doesn't have to be individual items just an invoice total and GST. The only other required info would be invoice number, customer number and date. Preferably as a .CSV or .XLS.
6 votesThis feature has already been implemented in the unstable gnucash version and will appear in GnuCash 2.6. It is marked as an optional feature though, so its availability will depend on how your version of GnuCash is built.

Autosave after each transaction
It would be nice if GNUCash performed a "save" after each transaction. But not the typical save as that would take too long between transactions. Is it possible to write each transaction to the file after it is entered? This would be more user friendly than using the log file that has to be "replayed" in the event of a crash or other problem.

Export to PDF
I'd like to be able to export reports (at least invoices) to PDF, to be able to send them by email.
14 votesThis feature is already available in the 2.5.x series (and SVN trunk versions).

Default the Post To account in the invoice payment dialog to the same account listed in the invoice
When I pull up an invoice for a vendor or customer, the invoice shows the account it is posted to, usually an AP or AR child account. However, when I open the payment dialog, the Post To account defaults to AP or AR and I have to remember to manually select the correct account.
The payment dialog should pull the same Post To account from either the associated invoice (It knows the number, so it knows which invoice it is) or the vendor/customer record.
1 voteGnucash 2.6 has been available for some time now with this improved feature. Thank you for your request.

Replace the "Case insensitive?" button in Transaction Search by a checkbox
Cuirrently, each line of the search criteria in Find Trahsaction has a button "Case Insensitive?" It is uinclear what the actual state of the case insensitivity check is, however, since clicking on the button only changes its grayness. That button should be replaced by a checkbox.
5 votesThis request has been implemented for gnucash 2.6. The button has been changed into a check box with the label “Match case”.
Thank you for your request. Feel free to make any new requests!

provide a means to export transactions
At present, only accounts can be exported. GnuCash should have an export facility, allowing all the transactions within a selected account (or all selected accounts) to be exported to format such as QIF, QFX or even CSV. There is a third-party Java program that does this, partly. GnuCash should do it well.
22 votesThank you for your request. GnuCash 2.6.x supports a simple export of transactions to CSV. For 2.8.x this is being impoved to be able to export transactions in such a way that the exported file can be imported directly into gnucash again (allowing to move transactions from one file to another).
As for the option to export scheduled transactions together with Export Accounts, please file that as another request. This is another part of the code.
Thank you. -
Allow saving of Custom Reports without changing name, overwriting existing report
Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649284
Currently the 'Add Report' button is only available if a report's name is changed. If a report's details are changed e.g. new account added/date range changed then the name has to be changed to be able to save this, causing clutter.
If the 'Add Report' button was always available, the option to overwrite the exisiting saved report could be given.64 votesThe feature has been completed last week by Geert and will be available in 2.5.4 and any following gnucash release. Thanks Geert!

Reassociate already existing transactions with a bill/invoice
For example, you have a bill or invoice and payment relating to it gets recorded by some method other than the Business, Process Payment options, perhaps as a result of importing bank data. Rather than deleting the transaction and remaking it through the Business menu, why not just click some option to reassociate it with the invoice/bill, and let it mark that invoice/bill as payed if it's for the right amount. This can be a real time saver when you have a large number of transactions like this.
34 votesImplemented in SVN trunk, r21383.

Allow Filter By settings to be saved and reused
When I open my checking account, from the View | Filter By menu I set the Filter By settings in the Status tab to only show Unreconciled, Cleared, and Frozen status. I would like to see these filter settings saved and reused when I close and reopen GnuCash so that I do not have to redo the Filter By settings every time.
29 votesFrom what I recall this feature has been implemented in the experimental “trunk” branch so that it will be part of the next stable release.

business part payments
Occasionally, I pay part of a monthly business statement bill of materials. In the menu Business-Vendor-Process Payment, I would like an option to see a list of un-paid bills, then select each bill that I wish to add to the value of payment.
3 votesGnucash 2.6 is available, so this request can now be closed. Thank you.
