provide an option to allow the accounting period to be set on the command line.
This would be the simplest solution allowing a user to maintain books with different accounting periods. If not specified, then the current operation of gnucash would be totally undisturbed. With this option, a user could have a one line script for invoking gnucash when they have to work with companies with different account periods.

I suggest you provide a way to print the Transaction Linked Documents, available on the Tools menu.
I am the treasurer for a not-for-profit group. Our trustees review the books and records as part of our by-laws. Having a report of the Transaction Linked Documents would make it easier for the trustees to verify selected transactions.

The ability to save the Export Transaction settings
It would be nice to be able to save the Export Transaction wizard settings for commonly/regularly used export. I constantly have to set the same settings, select the same set of accounts, whenever I need to use the Export Transactions. For the export period, it would be nice to have an option to just select a month which then picks the 1st day of the month as the start and last day of the month as the end.

Include Accounts for Online Action - Issue Transaction - Template
I can add all the details for an Online transaction. I can store the details in a template to use the same transaction the next time. However, if I make the online transaction from the template I have to manually select the referring accounts.
I suggest that the accounts to which the transaction is to be booked to are stored with the template and as an otion may be detected by the Bayes algorithm. That saves every time to think about to which accounts the last booking of that typpe has been made to, (This may be only a feature…

exclude rules for Import Matching
I like to add exclusion strings that should never be used to match anything. Now new errattic strings are generated each time: "Name:", "Account nr:", "description:", "JD" (my initials), "Mr.", "Smith" (my last name), "15-08-2024" or "22:58:13" (the specific date or time of a transaction).
It seems very clear that the import matcher needs some work to exclude certain strings as well, espescially the ones that are on every bank transaction.3 votes -
Distribute latest update in non-flatpak method.
I use Lynix Mint. The lasted update for GNUcash flatpak distribution tells me that it is going to use 3.4 GB more disk space.
Every flatpak distribution takes more and more disk space. This seems to be intrinsic to flatpak deployment. flatpak takes more and more disk.
Disk space is neither free nor unlimited.
Yours is not the only Flatpak distribution that take more and more disk with each update. It is a "feature' of the distribution method. I implore you to support a method that does not fill my
I would use the "System" update, but it is stuck…

make it easier to save setup so that session looks the same on different machines
I use gnucash on two different computers. It would be nice that when I open the same file (at different times of course) on the two machines the settings transfer with the file. Things like scheduled transactions, which items are opened (like an invoice), colors, etc.

Ability to split payments across multiple invoices
A vendor (e.g. Insurance company) that holds multiple policies and bills them separately but processes the payments as one line item. I would like to be able to split up a credit card or bank payment to multiple invoices. Each bill/invoice has a different start date and monthly/periodic amount.

Edit pop up dialogs to have keyboard shortcuts, especially for yes/no prompts
Not all prompts (e.g. are you sure you want to delete this split) have a keyboard shortcut, an underlined Y or N for Yes/No. It would improve workflow to be able to use the keyboard to make menu choices.

Pop up an alert when inputting a duplicate bill ID on a vendor
Inputting a bill for a vendor with the same BILL ID should trigger a warning / not be allowed - should edit the existing bill ID instead, or add a serial -01 -02 to it.

Add an "Actual Year-to-Date" column to the Budget Report. I would like to see the totals by account and by month.
In order for the budget report to be useful throughout the year, one needs to see the YTD each month, both budgeted and actual. This allows you to see where you are, ahead or behind, of your projection, and adjust as necessary.

Record capital gains in currency A for a stock traded in a different currency B
I have been trading NASDAQ and NYSE stock denominated in USD via an european broker accound where I hold my cash in EUR.
When buying or selling a stock in USD, a currency exchange is performed, so the whole buy/sell cycle looks EUR->USD->STOCK->USD->EUR.
Thus, between buying and selling a stock lot, I may have a certain gain in USD, but a different value, even maybe a loss in EUR, due to EURUSD having fluctuated during the holding period.
in the STOCK denominated account, when accounting the sale, I would like to record theCapital gain/loss Income in Euro and the sale/purchase…

Bulk Change Income and Expense categories on QIF import
When importing files from QIF, accounts and sub accounts are broken out individually. It would be a good feature to have the ability to group select or move accounts and sub accounts to a different place in the account hierarchy all at once.
Example:
Auto -> Expenses:Auto
Auto:car1 -> Auto:car1
Auto:car2 -> Auto:car2
Auto:car3 -> Auto:car3I would like to be able to select the car1/2/3 sub accounts and move them under the Expenses:Auto account as a singular action during the import setup.

Add an option to modify default selected accounts for reports
Whenever I create a new report, I always have to go into the report options and modify the accounts to display to get a meaningful report. It would be nice to be able to save a new default.
Specifics:
Currently the default accounts to display for a Cash Flow report are those located under: "Assets" and "Imbalance". That shows my income just fine, but the expenses are less meaningful. I always need to manually add "Liabilities" and "Transfers" to show details about where I spent money with my credit cards.2 votes -
Reports: show transactions related to the link instead of jumping to the account
In reports, hyperlinks are pointing towards accounts.
To allow for better analysis of a report, hyperlinks should return the only transactions related to the line of the report, like in a search window.1 vote -
Configuration files - to go to a database
With all the configuration files involved (GCM, CSS, saved reports, keyfile) it would be very nice to enclose those within the database itself.
Not only it would make it much cleaner to work with (backup, copy, move, etc.), but having multiple books - it could keep up us from the mess and plethora of not-correlated custom reports and settings, once opening a different set of books.

"Total (Period)" available for a default/generic currency
Within the ACCOUNTS main tree, there are multiple instances of available fields that are shown either within a source currency, or a default/generic one to choose from (Balance & Balance(USD)).
However, the one missing is those that pertain to periods, namely the "TOTAL (PERIOD)" is for a source currency only.
It would be great to have option for those to have a default/generic currency available as well.
