Encrypted remote storage of files
Hi,
I'd like to propose to have a built-in encrypted remote storage for GnuCash.
Currently I manually sync my GnuCash files between devices, which is annoying and can sometimes lead me to make errors when updating files.
Using something like Etebase (https://www.etebase.com/), I could encrypt and store my GnuCash files in a remote database, removing the need to manually sync my devices.
It's also possible for multiple people to use the database at the same time, so organizations could store their sensitive data in the Etebase, and have all of their accountants access them remotely.4 votes -
Export Scheduled Transactions
I want to export the scheduled transactions so when I export the accounts into a new (year end) gnucash file I may then import al of my scheduled transactions as well. I like to start with a clean register each year.

Collapse all accounts shortcut
Hi sir, I use Gnucash as a warehouse management software, almost have two thousand subaccounts and thirty parent accounts.
collapse account one by one is slow, scroll up to the top level also need some time.
Is it possible that add a global shortcut that can collapse all accounts directly ?

Multiple attached URLs / identifiers per transactions
(Or files, that would also be useful.)
Closely related to existing feature request: https://gnucash.uservoice.com/forums/101223-feature-request/suggestions/1951947-user-defined-fields-attributes
I often have a single transaction represented in multiple systems. For example, say I pay a grocery order which is split between me and my flatmates.
- The grocery order has an "order number" associated with the merchant (a string like
abc-12345-xyz). - The order also has a URL with the merchant.
- We use Splitwise to split transactions, so I'd also like to attach the Splitwise URL to the transaction. (Basically if I pay $250 for groceries, there's a maybe $50 split that goes to "Expenses:Groceries", then…

Add support to generate electronic accounts in iXBRL
In the UK, we can file for accounts electronically. I believe it's by exporting the accounts in a format called "Inline eXtensible Reporting Language" (iXBRL).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBRL
https://www.gov.uk/company-filing-software
The following is a list of software tested by Companies House that they recommend to companies for electronic filing. When or if GnuCash adds this support, it could also be added to this list.

It appears this format is also accepted in the US, and Singapore as well.

Support 'anchor' transactions
When transferring paper based records into Gnucash I find there it useful to have some transactions at points where I know, from a bank or other statement what the balance must really be, even if it does not match the result of the preceding gnucash transactions.
I adjust the balance by transferring to or from an equity account.
In some respects this is a generalisation of the Opening Balance when an account is created, since that must really have come from somewhere.
I record the amount these transactions should have in the transaction description, but it would be useful if…1 vote -
Secondary sorting on invoice transactions
This is probably quite a niche wish but perhaps(?) also something easy to change.
I tend to include a lot of reimbursed expenses in my invoices that post to a "reimbursables" account that I reconcile to "$0" to ensure I didn't miss anything. The date of the transactions from the invoice appears as the invoice date (naturally enough). Even though if you show the split transaction all the entries appear in chronological order as they were entered in the invoice, the individual transactions as they the account's register appear to be sorted alphabetically by the invoice entry's description.
In the…

Transaction Report - Trend Analysis by time intervals
The customisation of transaction report is a really useful feature but it does not allow users to do a trend analysis over a period of time. Currently I can configure the transaction report by selecting the accounts that I want to include and also select the time period but there is no feature to select the time interval for a given time period. For example if I want to analyse how my expenses are trending on a monthly basis for the current financial year I have to run individual monthly reports. It would be really useful to have an option…

Budget reports: collapse and expand account tree
In budget reports, the display depth of accounts can be set in de the report options. It would however be useful if (sub)accounts could be collapsed or extended by clicking on the account on the higher level. Then there is no need to open the options first and regenerate the report.
Same goes for charts like the expense charts: when the report is generated with for example the second sub-account level, the user should be able to click on a part of the chart to open the (3rd level) subaccounts of that account.

Highlight the "Imbalance USD" line to make it easier to spot, at least for me.
Since Gnucash is based on double entry bookkeeping, it I miss and entry or have a keyboard error which sometimes I'm prone to do, the amount of the error pops up on Imbalance USD. If this line is highlighted, then it will be easier to spot, at least for me. This isn't critical, but it would make my life easier. ;-)

Advanced actioning of Scheduled Transactions
I get paid on the last day of the month (31st) and have a scheduled transaction to auto-create for that, as well as all of the transactions for the following month (1st-30th). This way, I allay have a view of how much " "disposable income" I have until I get paid again. In December, I always get paid on 19th-21st, but I now have to wait about 10 days until my scheduled transactions auto-create, so have no view of my disposable income, at a time when my spending can be quite fluid. I'd like to be able to go into…

In register displays differentiate where past/current transactions and future transactions meet
Currently all transactions in a register alternate between the same colors making is difficult to find where the break between past/current date and future date transactions meet. It would be helpful if a visual clue like a line with an contrasting color could be placed between the 2 record sets.

Create check writing feature similar to QucikBooks
GnuCash supports generating checks via the Accounts Payable process. I'd like to see a more simple method to write checks similar to how QuickBooks works. Instead of entering a bill/invoice into accounts payable, simply write a check to the vendor. Multiple checks could be written and then printed as a batch. Many, if not most, cash businesses don't use an accounts payable process. Rather they simply hold the bills/invoices and then generate checks as needed.
I would be willing to contribute funds to implement this feature.

An Ageing report for securities to determine Capital Gains - both Long / Short term.
Some Securities may be classified as 365 days for LTCG, others 3/5 years. Settings for securities may be set in the security editor itself when creating the security. eg Shares have 1 year as LTCG, Mutual Funds have 3 years as LTCG, Bonds have varying terms, etc1 vote -
Allow multiple currencies/securities in QIF imports
It would be great if QIF imports could handle multiple currencies/securities in different split transactions.
My actual use case is to create a stock transaction that contains some split transactions due to tax withholding, regulatory fee, commissions.
Currently QIF investment transactions do not support split categories, so I could not use QIF investment transactions to represent the desired transaction.
Currently the normal QIF bank/split transactions do not support different currencies/securities in different splits so I could not use that either.
OFX format does not support split transactions either.
It seems only the CSV import supports my use case now. However,…
