  1. use OFX data for liability accounts (Credit Cards, Loans, Lines of Credit) to populate a report with a table similar to t "Personal Capital"

    use OFX data for liability accounts (Credit Cards, Loans, Lines of Credit) to populate a report with a table similar to the "Bills" page on "Personal Capital." The table should show "Due Date" "Account" "Statement Balance" "Minimum Due" and "Current Balance" data for any liability accounts that provide this information. Manually created payments (loans) would be appropriate to show on a report/table like this, too.

  2. Macros

    We need a simple macro facility. For example, I have international transactions. The process of calculating exchange rates and so forth is very straightforward, but tedious. I currently use a calculator. How cooler to have a simple macro facility? Click a button and just have it happen. It's not rocket science, just 1.61xX kind of stuff

  3. to validate the xml file against a XML schema while writing.

    Validate the xml file against a XML schema while writing to avoid breaking the file (see bug #696282 what happens, if you don't do it).

  4. Post receipt of funds without having an invoice for POS transactions

    I run a fairly active website with several purchases per day (upwards of 50) and it is very tedious to have to create an invoice, them pay it. It would be nice to be able to post a payment the same way an invoice is created, but post to cash account and then to sales account.

  5. Show the custom reports in a submenu for one-click access

    The custom reports currently require at least 4 clicks in order to access:
    * Click Reports
    * Click Custom Reports
    * Select the report and click Run

    It would be slick if the custom reports could populate a submenu, with an option at the bottom, Show All, which would bring up the current custom reports dialog.

    Custom Reports
    -> My 2-year expense report
    -> My 2-year profit report
    ----------- (divider)
    -> Show All

  8. Import time data .csv or .xls

    It would be AMAZING for GnuCash to be able to import .csv or .xls data from time tracking software, and then apply said data to an invoice, with the ability to list out individual items/tasks on the invoice

  10. Provide an option so invoices print by default formatted for #10 window envelopes.

    I suggest you provide an options to format an invoice for a standard #10 window envelope. This will allow us to stuff the bill in the mail without having to print separate customer addess labels.

  11. Restore default behaviour of ‘Delete’ key in text edit fields

    When editing a text field (such as the inline-edit of an account description, in the chart of accounts), please keep the default behaviour of all text editing keys.

    Currently the ‘Delete’ key does not behave as expected while editing the account name: it behaves like a request to delete the account entirely, and aborts the editing of the name.

    This should instead have the default behaviour for ‘Delete’ while editing text: delete the character following the cursor, and continue editing.

  12. Report Option: Selecting Accounts

    The common report option to select accounts should use checkboxes rather than highlighting.

    The list is (for most users) rather long and scrolling is common. Between trying to select / deselect accounts and scrolling it happenes ever so often, one clicks somewhere and has now only one account selected where before there as a handpicked list...

    Checkboxes just make selection easier. Also, depending on GUI, toggling checkboxes can also be done with several at once, so this feature is not lost due to the proposed change.

  13. Provide support for importing historic stock quotes

    Quotes are now downloaded through the perl libary Finance::Quote. I would appreciate the ability to to download historic quote information (through Finance::QuoteHist, for example) so I can better see (for example) net worth accurately over time. Timespans could be typed or selectable via calendar widgets, and existing quote data be ignored or overwritten if data exists on any particular date.

  14. Make budget amounts bubble up to parent accounts

    Assume the following hierarchy:

    Expenses:Groceries:Food
    Expenses:Groceries:Non-Food
    Expenses:Personal:Hobbies:Music
    Expenses:Personal:Hobbies:Sports
    Expenses:Personal:Entertainment

    Currently, if I set Expenses:Personal:Hobbies:Sports to $30.00 for the month of January, that's all that shows up. I would like that $30.00 to bubble up and fill or add to the total for Expenses:Personal:Hobbies, Expenses:Personal and Expenses. That way, if I know I only make $1000 per month, I can make sure that I don't overbudget, or that if I do, I'm at least aware of it. In the above example, I might manually enter the following for january:

    Expenses:Personal:Hobbies:Sports - $30.00
    Expenses:Personal:Hobbies:Music - $50.00
    Expenses:Groceries:Food - $150.00
    Expenses:Personal:Entertainment - $30.00

  15. Resizing columns should follow common standards

    When you want to change the width of columns, you will discover GNUCashs unusual approach: When dragging a middle columns supposedly wider, the extra space gets allocated to the last column instead.

    GNUCash should follow th standards used e.g. in EXCEL or CALC.

  16. multicurrency transaction reports

    Target: Foreign Business Travel Reporting

    Suggestion: Add an "other account amount" check-box to the display tab in the transaction report settings. This provides a column in which amounts from foreign cash accounts are displayed directly without recalculation, and includes 3 letter or currency symbol with the amount.

    For International Business Travelers.

    Foreign business expense reports need to include:
    The foreign cost, exchange rate, and local currency equivalent, and the submitted receipts need to match amounts reported.

    This in turn displays an additional column displaying actual amounts reported from foreign currency accounts ( with the 3 letter currency / symbol

  17. Transfer field alignment setup in the register views

    Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700408

    The content of the Transfer column in all the Register views is right-aligned, and this cannot be changed.
    It would be preferable to have the alignment setup controlled by the user according to their personal preference. I think the right-alignment choice was motivated by the designer's need to have
    the most relevant information remain visible all the time, especially when the account names are too long and the view cannot be widened beyond certain limit. However, left-aligned text is much easier to read and browse through. Also, the current large screens are much more widespread nowadays…

  19. Provide spreadsheet data extraction API

    A method to allow a spreadsheet (MS Excel or OO Calc) to extract specific data from specific accounts, such that the spreadsheet can be used to provide different views of the available data.
    For instance, I use GnuCash to keep track of my investment properties, but the only way I could figure to set up the accounts is by what each account was for (Expenses > Maintenance; Expenses > Bank Transfer Fees; etc.), with each property having a sub-account (Expenses > Maintenance > Property 1; Expenses > Maintenance > Property 2; etc.). Thus, I can't gather together from within GnuCash…

  20. While open the GNU cash main window there should be a option to select the account. Like a drop down list to select the file.
