Can GNU Cash keep the creation (of an account, of a line, etc.) on the screen without exiting the entry mask at each validation ?
After a validation, you should maintain the mask, clear the fields for a new entry + create an exit button.

Sort transactions on Date&Number
Allow ordering of transactions by both date and number. Currently sorting by date only generally gives the required order, but can occasionally get mixed up if transactions are entered at different times (or on different machines). Sorting on date and number would allow the number to be used to achieve the required date order sequence (such as to match a bank account listing).

Another request came in which seems to clarify this issue. As it was sent by Anonymous I’m not sure it’s from the same person. As they deal with the same issue I have merged them together. A simple comment on this request would have been sufficient as well.
Anyway it looks the default sorting as you are asking for only happens on the register pages and not in the reports. I have reverted the status of this request.

Specify seperate folder for backup and log files
Currently sharing a GnuCash account via DropBox is messy because the shared folder keeps having to synchronise a massive number of log and backup files. Would be preferable to have these files stored in a non-shared folder so that only the main account file would need to be synchronised on change.

Add setting for reports location.
Would love to be able to save reports to a specific folder, preferably one associated with the account file the report applied to. So when working on an account only the 'saved reports' applicable to that account would be available thereby reducing clutter when selecting a report to run. It would also simplify sharing the account and reports with other users.

New transaction-input above future transactions
Would it be possible to move the 'new transaction'-input line above any future transactions, just below the blue line?
I pre-create a lot of recurring transactions to keep track of my budget on long term, but this causes 3/4rd of my screen to be filled with future transactions. I would love to see the input box moved a bit up.

OFX file import.
When selectinga file for OFX import, restrict the files listed to *.OFX (or *.QFX) rather than showing all the files in the selected directory - as in currently done with QIF imports where only *.QIF files are shown.

select booking and create new online boocing with its data
when a booking in an online account is selected
I'd like to create a new online booking with the data of the selected booking (open the online booking dialogue)
The type of booking (SEPA or old style) should be determined by the type of the selected booking.
the counter account should also be preselected as the same as the selected booking

Allow viewing a part of the budget in budget reports
My budget period is 1 month, and my budget has 12 periods. When viewing a budget report, it's impossible to see how I've done from, say, June and out the year (especially if viewing the difference too), because the budget extend beyond my screen.
I suggest to make it possible to view specific budget periods in the budget report, such as only the current or previous month.

Report Option: Repeat Column Headers Across Pages
When you print a report or export it to PDF, and it spans multiple pages, it would be very useful to have the column headers repeated on each page.

Global replacement of memo or account fields within a find window.
After a find search has been completed, a window with transactions meeting search criteria is established. Display an option icon that will permit selecting some or all transactions. Then replace all accounts with "new account name". Same with memo field. Example replace all selected items currently with expense:household to expense:food.Example 2. Replace the memo field of all selected items with " bathroom project".

sync data across multiple devices
We should be able to sync data across multiple devices. This would enable users to add entries as and when they occur and will also improve the convenience

Run back-end in a server mode to make Web interface or third party integration easier
Separate then front-end (UI) and back-end (core) to make the UI be possible replaced by Web interface or other third-party integration.
I have been using GnuCash in my small business for many years and I love it. However, it's a bit hard to do customization like Australia ATO BAS report etc.
If the backend can be seperated from the front-end then it will be much easier to extend it's functionality. For example, I can make a small tool to interact with the back-end directly while keep the current UI unchanged.
34 votesWe’re working on it, but our predecessors made some bad design decisions and so there’s core code in UI files where it doesn’t belong. It’s going to take a while to get that untangled.
In the meantime you can write custom reports in Scheme and use the Scheme, Python, or C bindings to work with the engine objects. We use “backend” to refer to data storage, either SQL or XML. If you select a SQL backend (File>Save As, select SQL at the top of the dialog box) you can then use SQL queries to extract data and create reports.

Save pending transaction changes when saving the file (without confirmation)
When editing a transaction and pressing Ctrl-S to save (without first pressing Enter to save the actual transaction), for example when changing from N to C, I'd like the file to be saved without getting the "Save changes to <RegisterName>" - this register has pending changes to a transaction" dialog (I'm getting tired of clicking "Save Transaction" all the time).

Add a "GO TO" shortcut
I find it somewhat slow to navigate from one account to another.
It would be nice to have a shortcut that pops a little window listing accouts and a filterbox.
Typing down a few chars would narrow the selection and then you can use the arrows to select and then push enter...

Virtual retained earnings account
I am using GnuCash to handle accounting of my LLC. The LLC pays dividends to me as shareholder. I have read the mailinglist and it looks like one should either close the books (which is generally not recommended) or just create a Dividends account under Equity, which is negative and gets more negative as more dividends are paid.
The second option works actually very well from my point of view, with the only problem being that Equity becomes negative in the account overview (but is still correct in balance sheet and other reports).
My idea would be to have a…

Balance Sheet Enhancement for Bank Overdrafts
Can you enhance the balance sheet report to show bank accounts in overdraft as current liabilities rather than current assets?
