Icon or one-click to access the Scheduled Transaction Editor
It would be great to have an icon to open the Scheduled Transactions Editor, or some sort of one-click option to open it. The three-click "Actions, Scheduled Transactions, Scheduled Transaction Editor" always seems cumbersome to me when it's something I open frequently.

"fund accounting"
Do you have any plans to support "fund accounting methodology" as opposed to the current "equity accounting methodology"?
What is "fund accounting"? The best way to answer that is to point you Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fund_accounting

Emphasise the concept of gc data-files != gc program-file
On the mailing lists, it seems that many users do not understand the concept of having data stored in files:
- "How can I backup my data?"
- "I Wanted to start over and reinstalled GC - but the data is still there."
- "I did $SomethingFromFileMenu an now all my data is gone."IMHO this would get better if users understood that their data is stored in files just like their office documents.
This could be achieved by changing the startup-behaviour:
When gc is started with no explicit file as an option, gc should present a dialog with the…3 votes -
Do not require an address for new Vendors
Please do not enforce filling out the Address field for new Vendors to complete the operation.
I should not have to put a random string in the first address line before you allow me to save the Vendor to the Vendor List. Vendor name should be sufficient, and in some cases, simply a vendor number is all you need (e.g. if you want to hide the name of a vendor and keep the identity discreet).

Add Hierarchy to "Business" Records (Vendor/Customer/Employee)
I specifically need this for Vendors, but I can see how this would apply to Customers and Employees as well.
I want to keep individual Vendors separate, but at the same time be able to aggregate them for reports. For example, I want to know how much money I spend at Starbucks Store #123 and keep that separate from Starbucks Store #124. I also want to know how much I spend at Starbucks in general, so I would want stores #123 and #124 to be under Starbucks (just like how the Account list works). Each individual business has unique addresses…

Add support for multiple-step Income Statements
I have fully described the need in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765375.
I could add that I have found a workaround for representing taxes in a way that allows me to choose whether my income statement shows net income and net taxes with payroll tax deduced from both, or gross income and gross taxes with no sign of payroll tax in the report. I do this by first accumulating payroll tax as negative income, then adding special year-end transactions, and finally choosing whether to do case sensitive filtering or not when I run the Income Statement report. This method, however, does not scale…

addition of addition columns in account form
I am happy gnucash user for last 6 years for small business. use it effectively for invoicing,tds etc. I also manage my Fixed Deposit accounts, bonds etc. It would be good to have extra columns to accomodate FD date,Maturity Date, interest rate, Interest periodicity. Now i put some of these in account code,desc,memo and run a custome report.. export to excel and use that for income tax income projection.

When you execute a search, the new tab should be immediately adjacent to the existing tab
This both groups the tabs logically, and also improves the workflow by causing closed search results to go back immediately to what you were doing.
It's a very common workflow after a search to want to return to the page you were on when you executed the search. This may be to refine your previous search that was unsatisfactory and execute it again with new criteria, or if you got what you needed from the search, to simply continue on with what you were doing.
Instead, Gnucash currently simply dumps the search tab on the far-right, causing a closed search…

When performing a search, show a total of matching transactions
Often, when I'm performing a search, it's to find all transactions of a given category, and frequently the total of the results is a value that's relevant.
Examples:
I might search for EmployerName inside the category of my HSA account within the past year to find the total contributions made so far to my HSA for this year so I know how much more I'll need to contribute.I might search for Jack in the Box inside the category of food to know how much money I've spent at Jack in the Box to determine if it's an area I…

About the financial calculator
Would it be possible to improve the financial calculator?
It would be interresting to have more settings. Like in JxLIvret (http://www.cbanque.com/download/jxlivret.php)

Attach files or locations to Accounts
Recently the ability was added to attach files or Locations to a Transaction. It would be great if this was also possible for accounts (in case this is easier: Location would be enough). Often an account is related to a certain Folder, e.g. bills from one Company or bank Statements. In particular for bank Statements and credit Cards, you wouldn't want to attach the file to each trx, but rather be able to quickly open the Folder and open the document manually.
Best,

Add a retirement planning tool
It would be very useful to have an inbuilt retirement planning tool that would:
-Use assets (if approved by user) in developing plan
-allow different assumptions such as inflation rates, ROIs etc.
-Show projected net-worth
-Track progress against set plan
-Allow modeling of variations to plan assumptions1 vote -
allow the user to set the zoom level or font size.
I'd simply like to be able to increase the font size of the GnuCash display much like a browser does. I can't always find my reading glasses and changing the screen resolution is not the best workaround when I have multiple apps open such as a browser window when I'm checking my records against my bank's online statement or working through paperless statements and receipts.

option to change a automatic split transaction when entering a new transaction
If i had previously entered a transaction as a split, the next time I enter the transaction it automatically comes up again as the last entered transaction. This is nice in some situations however, do not always want this feature. If have a split one time, I do not necessarily want the same split on the next entry. This seem to be the most irritable with splits, but it may apply to other straight entries as well. Can there be an option to decline the suggesting entry or possibly select a different entry other than what is automatically generated?

Swap coulmns as needed
Would it be possible to exchange the position of columns as needed? I can do this with Excel and LibreCalc. This would be helpful because I could make each transaction register appears with the columns the same way as my physical register.

Scheduled Transaction Editor - Possibility to arrange scheduled transactions into folders and sub-folders
Those having many scheduled transactions know full well how hard it can be to browse the whole list in order to look for the specific one you need to edit. It would me much easier if scheduled transactions could be grouped in some way.

Merge several transactions into a single split transaction (and the other way around)
Sometimes you initially expect several transactions from/to the same payee. For example, you expect the monthly rent payment from a tenant, (which may be you have entered as a scheduled transaction) but in month M he/she also has to pay for some yearly tax (which, again, may exist as a separate scheduled transaction). But he/she decides to make a single bank transfer for the total. In such cases, it would be very convenient to have the possibility to select the two transactions and merge them into a single one so that the list of transactions in the bank account remains…
