  1. Sort by Register Titles

    Click on Description in the Register Titles, and have it sort the Payee List by Name 'Alphabetically' in order to find a payment quickly. Then click on Date and it returns to a Sort by Date list, Click on Amount and find a transaction by the particular amount.

    I sure would appreciate it!

  2. Resurrect the old Tax Report format

    Previously, the user tagged accounts as 'tax-related' and could produce a quite usable Tax report from this.
    Currently, the Tax Report is aligned with the US tax system, the report is unusable for most of the rest of the world and is difficult or impossible to produce work-arounds from.
    My only work-around is to run an older version of GnuCash (with the 'proper' report format) in a virtual machine environment just to produce one report at tax time.
    I have tried to install the desired report format from an older version, following instructions from one of the forums, but it…

  3. Reports: Placeholder accounts should link to CoA

    Some reports allow accounts to be links. That is, if clicked, a new Tab opens for this account.

    For typical placeholder accounts, this behavior is not desirable, as they are typically empty. Rather, they should jump to the according account in the chart of accounts and give focus to it.

    This would be usefull for many common reports, like balance sheet or income statement, which typically show top level accounts or only 1-2 layers deep, which often still are placeholder accounts.

  4. Add a "Remarks" header in Scheduled Transaction editor

    Just a plain text field that allows me to add some comments to the scheduled transaction. I have to open the transaction to see when it's going to end. With the new field I can just type say, "Monthly loan payment to XXX, ends in June"

  5. Fetch exchange rate once per day rather than for every single transaction

    I routinely work in two currencies, and when I enter transactions in the account of the 2nd currency, GnuCash opens the "Transfer Funds/Courrency Transfer" dialogue at every single transaction I input and asks for the exchange rate into the main currency.

    It would be a great time saver to have a setting allowing to specify a time interval at which GnuCash asks for this.

    i.e. if this is set to 24hrs, then GnuCash would only ask once every day for the exchange rate and then keep using this until the next day.

    The interval could also be once per session,…

  6. Paste the text with line feeds into many parts of splitted transaction.

    It could be great, have a possibility to copy from some text file a text such as

    Goods 1
    Goods 2
    ....
    Goods N

    and paste this text into "Memo" not in only one row with line feeds, but create for each line of text new row in this split transaction.
    If there is already some row - the just insert the text. Would be completely great, if paste of such text will work for "Transfer", "Deposit" and "Withdraw".

    Such function helps for registration of the receipts, that are recognized by some other software for optical character recognition.

    paste the…

  7. Preserve Audit Trail: Option to disable modifying or editing reconciled transactions.

    A journal entry should not be changed once it is written. One is supposed to write a correcting entry. This shows the error and the correction clearly. When journals were done by hand with ink pens one could be confident that one had a true record but with digital programs that is not the case. I know most programs allow you to go back, but that damages the audit trail. I'm suggesting a option to disable editing of entered and or reconciled transactions. Additionally one could have an option to show what entries had been changed. Finally one could have…

    References: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89439, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137017

    Currently GnuCash stores the entry date by setting it to midnight local time then converting it to timezone Z (which is either UTC or GMT depending on the operating system). Changing timezone to the west will change the entry date to the day before.

    This proposal would fix the problem by optionally adding an Entry Time field to the Register, with a default time of 1100Z. That default would maintain the same date for all timezones from New Zealand Daylight Time (Z + 13 Hours) to Z -11. TZ Z-12, which affects very few people, would…

  9. Fix the moving Entry Date problem by getting rid of entry time.

    Reference: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137017

    Currently GnuCash stores the entry date by setting it to midnight local time then converting it to timezone Z (which is either UTC or GMT depending on the operating system). Changing timezone to the west will change the entry date to the day before.

    This proposal would fix the problem by saving only the date, without any timezone adjustments, so it would remain fixed regardless of the timezone in which it was entered.

  10. Add way to attach Check Image to items; images remain hidden unless the cell is selected. Some report supporting.

    Images could be left in flat file and stored by reference. Support for a good compression file type, setting and reduction to b/w might make them more managably small. An images supporting report can print each check below the item on the same page.

  13. Add 'Notes' field to 'New Job' form

    I often have a long description of my job and use the 'Job Name' field of 'New Job' form to store it, as this is the only text field available. I'd like to have a 'Notes' field in this form like in other forms, e.g.: new Customer, Vendor, Invoice or Bill.

  14. Allow us to remove the num column, as many of us don't use it, so it just takes up space.

    Allow us to remove the num column from various screen, as many of us don't use it, so it just takes up space.

    Even better: let us choose exactly which columns we want to display. e.g. under 'scheduled transactions', it makes sense to display the amounts involved, instead of having to view each one separately.

  15. renaming rules or list

    When importing transactions in QFX format, create renaming rules that, once created, automatically change the payee name to a "friendly name" of your choosing, so that when "CITY, ST, 9999, WAL-SAMS Wal Su" comes in, it is always recognized in imported simply as "Walmart"

  16. Categorize multiple transactions at once

    It would be nice if I could select multiple transactions at one time to assign them to a single category.

    Example 1: I frequently import lots of data (via QIF) at once and don't have time to categorize everything during the import process, so I want to be able to go through later and quickly categorize. It would be much faster if I could, for example, select all of my restaurant transactions at once and then categorize them all with a few clicks.

    Example 2: For my business trips I create a single account for each trip. There is no…

    Applications folders in OS X get large quickly because people don't usually subfolder them. View --> Arrange by Application Category makes it easier, but if there's no LSApplicationCategoryType key in the app's info.plist, the app is sorted into "Other" at the bottom. https://developer.apple.com/library/Mac/releasenotes/General/SubmittingToMacAppStore/#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010572-CH16-SW8

  18. Lock an account

    Simple request. Should be able to right click an account -> Edit Account, and have a checkbox next to "Hidden" called "Lock".

    The account and all transactional data within the account would still be viewable, but no new postings would be allowed. I've used account locking frequently in my company with SAP.

    Visually, perhaps the account could be greyed out? I'm thinking the VBA equivalent of .Enabled = False (using this as an example since I'm familiar with VBA).
