Create a "Memorized Transaction" feature from autofill data which lists all your payees.
The autofill feature is nice, but it would be good to see a list of all your payees in one place so we could pull transactions from a specific payee, and rename misspellings,etc... Basically a list of payees that we can add or delete from which is generated off autofill...

I am a new adopter of GnuCash and I must say it is incredible! Thank you for developing! What I want is a future balance predictor
I have entered every bit of my financial life in to gnucash. Since most of my transactions are automated I have entered them in scheduled transactions. It is now 12/30/15. What I would like to see is some sort of feature where I could input date 1/31/16 and see what my asset and liability balances would be at that time once all of my scheduled transactions for that period ran. If you could make that, it would be awesome! Thanks.

add sector allocation report
Some kind of reporting structure that can produce a pie chart or bar graph showing some kind of sector allocation report. This can be useful not only for stocks but also for other assets or maybe income/expenses.
For example, if I spend money at McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Dominoes, I can see a report that shows how much money I spent at each individual place, but if I can categorize Pizza Hut and Dominoes as Pizza places then my report can show me how much I spent at non Pizza places vs Pizza places!

allow to sort accounts by total in income & expense statement
Presently, in the income & expense statement report, the income accounts are sorted alphabetically. I suggest they could be sorted by decreasing total, so that the most significant amount appears first. (the same for expense accounts)

Enlarge Arrows to Change Month
In the date dialog box, the arrows on each side of the month should be enlarged. Many times when I click on an arrow, the dialog box disappears and the focus returns to the current month shown in the box.

Graphs w/o legend and dates
Hi,
I toyed recently with the multicolumn Report and found that it can be nicely used to have many Graphs (e.g. single expense accounts over time) displayed as an overview. However, having the leveng and the timeline at the bottom of the graph strongly Limits how much you can fit where. When you go for quite small Graphs, the area is dominated by the legend and the timeline Dates.It would be nice if all reports which Display some graph have the Option of not showing the legend and the individual Dates.
Best,

Allow linking bank transactions to invoices from multiple customers
When a client pays by credit card or via their phone through a payment service, (eg. Snapscan.co.za in South Africa) our bank account registers a single transaction per day for all clients who paid with that service. Currently there appears to be no way to link the bank transaction to multiple invoices from different customers.
There is also a bug/oversight in the current functionality - it only allows you to link to multiple invoices if you select them all at the same time. If you link to one invoice, then realise you have another for that client and link that…

BUDGET: A total RE-ENGINEERING
First of all, Budgeting tool is like a joke in GNU Cash (till version 2.6.8) because:
- It does not support multiple currencies when it has to add up from sub accounts to main accounts. It affects ALL, and I mean ALL, the budget reports, because it never fits the budget with the real transactions.
For example: I have a "Son Expenses" sub account (in Euros) into my "Family Expenses" (in Dollars). When I register EUR 100 in "Son Expenses" it add USD 100 in "Family Expenses" instead of, let's say USD 112.13 (http://themoneyconverter.com/ES/EUR/USD.aspx on 10-05-2015). So it will not…

Better budgeting (based on managerial accounting)
Budgeting in GnuCash is as big, yet as essential, a project as GnuCash in the first place. Please see my rant below.
We must not confuse planning for the future and recording transactions.
GnuCash’s greatest strength is that it is built on sound accounting principles. While financial accounting is all about recording transactions that occurred in the past. Managerial accounting is all about forecasting the future. What our best estimates of future Income; Expenses; Assets; Liabilities and Equity. These forecast are then used to answer questions. One of the most critical questions being “Will I have the cash to pay…

Report option to report the MF/Stocks transaction with lot details.
Currently the Advanced Portfolio Reports / Transaction Reports for Mutual Funds / Stocks report only the consolidated gain loss per MF/ Stock. Given the tax structure in various countries, it would be benefecial to have the lot details as well. Eg in India, the taxation changes with the duration of holding the fund as well as the type of fund. Reporting the lot details will enable easy tax calculation in a spreasheet.

Use a GTK theme for OSX
Right now GnuCash is very ugly on OSX. Mostly becuase their is no gtk theme on OSX.
Like wireshark would be nice if GnuCash build was using the new Adwaita default theme: http://balintreczey.hu/blog/beautiful-wireshark-on-os-x-using-homebrew-and-gtk3quartz/

Add / change keyboard shortcut for productivity, into standard like MS Excel or alike
It would be nice to add or change current keyboard shortcut to any existing software, so user feel no difference when switching from one software to another.
For example, using Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn to switch between tabs. This has been used by MS Excel, or browser like Firefox or Chrome. In GNUCash, we use Ctrl+Alt+PgUp/PgDn, which differ in one key (Alt).
Another example in Excel, Ctrl+Home to go to top row / earliest transaction.
I guess this additional feature can give more values for user experience and productivity to GNUCash .

Enable user selection of lots sold
Only the FIFO method of lot selection is presently implemented. Enabling users to specify lots to be sold would allow other methods such as LIFO to be used as well as enabling users to deal with tax issues such as holding period rules for capital gains and minimizing or maximized realized gains or losses for given investment transactions.

Add an option for alternate register background colors by account type
Add an option under Edit > Preferences > Register > Graphics to use different register background colors for each of the top account types, i.e. for assets, liabilities, income, expense and possibly equity. Colors might be selected from the Pantone color chart or other non-proprietary chart. Colors should be selected to be visibly different even to persons who are color blind. This is intended to be a program option, not to be confused with the existing Use System Theme Colors option or the very obscure Style Sheet feature.

Copy File Attachment To Permanent, GNUCash Location
Currently, you can attach a file to a transaction. However, I would expect GNUCash to "take in" that file, rather than simply store a pointer to the file's current location.
It would be better if GNUCash would copy the file into its own Attachments folder which would preferably be a hidden folder.
Here is my use case:
I download an invoice from a website with the intention of attaching it. I open up GNUCash, find the transaction, and attach the PDF from its current folder, 'Downloads'.
Regularly, I cull my 'Downloads' folder as it is not meant to be a…

Scheduled Transactions
Banks, most anyway, post interest at the end of the month. If you set up a scheduled transaction for the last day of the month and use the program during the day, it tries to create the transaction before you know the interest amount. If you schedule for the 1st of the month, you have change the posting date each time. You should allow the transaction to be created the day after and automatically back dated to the last day of the month. Basically, you allow create in advance, why not create in "arrears".

add historical cash flow bar chart
I would really like a barchart like the income/expense chart that shows my money in/out and net flow.
The reason I need this is that GnuCash correctly views my mortgage payments as reducing the liability and not as an expense.
So instead of accessing the profit and loss report for a particular month to get a detailed view of my money flow I now use the cash flow report for a particular month.This works like a charm, but I would like to graphically see the trends in my money flows. Before I used the income/expense barchart with the net…
