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:EntertainmentCurrently, 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…

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.

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

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…1 vote -

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…1 vote -
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.

It would be very helpful to add transactions by applying the account numbers
On complex account trees it is much more useful to use the account numbers to select the accounts. Add the possibility to select the accounts by account number in transaction dialogue and also in account register add the possibility to add with account number instead to scroll trough the whole account list.

Improved form for mass bill entry
I need an entry form where I can just enter
date, bill number, credit, debit account, text and value, value-to-credit if the credit- to account is an asset account, value-to-debit if the credit to account is a liabilities account.
Also a log scrolling upwards would be nice so I can queue these transactions and can review if I have entered running bills id correctly or missed something out from the bills.Yours,
Jens

Better budget navigation
Allow the user to scroll each cell in the budget screen using the navigation keys(left, right, up, down). Also, provide the user with the option of going to the next cell to the right or down after updating the cell. Right now, I click on each I want to update which can be tedious. Thanks!

Easy account selection.
When selecting an account in a transaction to change it or make it new it would be lovely to have a window popup (via a button-click) that opened a list of accounts. Non placeholder accounts would have a check-box and clicking the okay button would apply the checked account/s to the transaction. Multiple boxes would create multiple splits where all you have to do is fill in the amount.
Thanks!

vendor account numbers
In Vendor setup allow for an account number.
If you do business often with a vendor you have an account number. This should be stored with the vendor information and appear automatically on an new bill when that vendor is called up. It should also appear on any payment made to that vendor.1 vote -
Support PAYe RTI submissions (UK)
PAYe 'Real Time Information' (RTI) is compulsory submission of payroll information to HMRC in the UK. This looks to be sending a bunch of XML files with a particular format (see http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/softwaredevelopers/rti/index.htm ) whenever an employee is paid. A menu option to submit one or more selected payments, or even just raw values, would be very useful.

Make description and memo switchable in get online transactions
When doing a "get transactions" in the online menu, then the value the bank transmits in the purpose-field is set as the description-field of the resulting transaction.
It would make much more sense, if it instead would be written into the memo-field of the corresponding split (since on another bank account, the same transaction gets another purpose field).
At least it would be nice, if the user had the choice in which of the fields he wants the entry to be written.
Personally I prefer a simple and clear text in the description field, while the value from my bank…3 votes -
Allow for accumulating split transactions involving multiple charges to the same account
I'd like for there to be an option to allow for accumulating split transactions containing multiple charges to the same account into a single transaction, rather than displaying as many transactions as there are splits pertaining to that given account. The Transaction Journal view does this by default.
For instance, I often purchase more than one thing at a time from Amazon. In these instances, I find it more convenient (and logical) to record that purchase as a single split transaction (with one split per item) rather than many regular transactions, especially in cases when I had to expend a…

make invoices much more flexible.
The default invoices look ugly and can't be customized to meet the requirements in Germany. So I suggest that you revamp the whole templating system to create reports and invoice in a much more flexible way.

API or Import format for allow writing Android/iOS Apps
Either:
* port the API to Android or
* create a simple XML import+export format that maps 1:1 to transactions with multiple splits (no bayes, no limit on 2 splits per transaction) and allows removal of existing transactions with the same id
* provide another means to add+remove transactions without a desktop computerand without user interaction6 votes
