Chart rendering
For some odd reason, the chart rendering is not properly formatted. For example, the rectangle around the chart image and description of sectors is narrower than the descriptions, so the words are cut short. I've been noticing this for quite a while now. I hoped the chart rendering would improve over time, but so far it is still lacking. Any thoughts on that?
3 votesIn the 2.5.x series, the charts are implemented by a different technology, thus this issue has been fixed there.

List of current customers and vendors, open bills and invoices
Instead of requiring users to use the search tool to find customers, there should be an optional list of active customers and vendors with balances due.

Support for chipTAN comfort/SmartTAN optic (Flickering)
Aqbanking already supports this TAN Method.
The Problem is that GNUCash only shows the hexadecimal String between $OBEGIN$ and $OEND$.
So I cannot use my chiptan-generator.
Adding flickercode support would be very nice!
How chipTAN Flickercodes work can be found here:

Remove PERL version dependency
Please remove Finance::Quote PERL version dependency. GC is often behind versions. E.g. If I install today, cannot download free Perl 5.12 from ActiveState site (only 5.14 now)
1 voteThis has been implemented for gnucash 2.6, which is currently available. Thank you for your request.

Import invoices
I would like to be able to import invoices (created by my shopping cart) into Accounts Receivables. It doesn't have to be individual items just an invoice total and GST. The only other required info would be invoice number, customer number and date. Preferably as a .CSV or .XLS.
6 votesThis feature has already been implemented in the unstable gnucash version and will appear in GnuCash 2.6. It is marked as an optional feature though, so its availability will depend on how your version of GnuCash is built.

Autosave after each transaction
It would be nice if GNUCash performed a "save" after each transaction. But not the typical save as that would take too long between transactions. Is it possible to write each transaction to the file after it is entered? This would be more user friendly than using the log file that has to be "replayed" in the event of a crash or other problem.

Default the Post To account in the invoice payment dialog to the same account listed in the invoice
When I pull up an invoice for a vendor or customer, the invoice shows the account it is posted to, usually an AP or AR child account. However, when I open the payment dialog, the Post To account defaults to AP or AR and I have to remember to manually select the correct account.
The payment dialog should pull the same Post To account from either the associated invoice (It knows the number, so it knows which invoice it is) or the vendor/customer record.
1 voteGnucash 2.6 has been available for some time now with this improved feature. Thank you for your request.

Export to PDF
I'd like to be able to export reports (at least invoices) to PDF, to be able to send them by email.

Replace the "Case insensitive?" button in Transaction Search by a checkbox
Cuirrently, each line of the search criteria in Find Trahsaction has a button "Case Insensitive?" It is uinclear what the actual state of the case insensitivity check is, however, since clicking on the button only changes its grayness. That button should be replaced by a checkbox.
5 votesThis request has been implemented for gnucash 2.6. The button has been changed into a check box with the label “Match case”.
Thank you for your request. Feel free to make any new requests!

Show account colors also in the chart of accounts
Accounts can have colors assigned to them, in the "Edit account" window. This color should also be shown in the account hierarchy (e.g., hi-lighting the account names), which would help us locate commonly used ledgers quickly. Also, this feature might make this drab but useful software brighten up a bit as we continue adding and tracking new accounts.
15 votesGnucash 2.6 is available, so this request can be closed. Thank you.

provide a means to export transactions
At present, only accounts can be exported. GnuCash should have an export facility, allowing all the transactions within a selected account (or all selected accounts) to be exported to format such as QIF, QFX or even CSV. There is a third-party Java program that does this, partly. GnuCash should do it well.
22 votesThank you for your request. GnuCash 2.6.x supports a simple export of transactions to CSV. For 2.8.x this is being impoved to be able to export transactions in such a way that the exported file can be imported directly into gnucash again (allowing to move transactions from one file to another).
As for the option to export scheduled transactions together with Export Accounts, please file that as another request. This is another part of the code.
Thank you. -
Type ahead search when entering the accounts to a transaction
Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545160
I'd like to suggest using type ahead search when specifying which account
should be used in a transaction.Just to give an example i have the following expenses accounts:
Expenses:Auto:Repair
Expenses:Auto:Gas
Expenses:Boat:Repair
Expenses:Boat:GasI would like to type "rep" and have Gnucash suggest all matching accounts. In
this case:
Expenses:Auto:Repair
Expenses:Boat:RepairIf I start typing "a" it should show
Expenses:Auto:Repair
Expenses:Auto:GasIn short it should work like the label selection widget on Gmail.
I have a pretty deep expenses structure (matching different budgets I have set
up) which makes typing all the different levels tedious even…436 votesGnuCash 4.0 (2020-06-28):

Change minimum vertical resolution to work on netbooks (1024x600)
The GnuCash window can not be resized below about 700 pixels high, which does not fit within the space available on a netbook 1024x600 screen minus Gnome panels. Even autohiding panels doesn't allow a full view.
Were the restriction removed, the register window would seem to work fine, although the edit scheduled transactions dialogue may be a bit cramped.36 votesThe related bug has been marked as fixed. Closing this feature request accordingly.

Improved Close Book
I'd like to have a better "Close Book" implementation. This should be implemented without affecting the reports (meaning, that the zeroing transactions would never be included in the reports). I'd like to be able to produce reports over several years.
36 votesClosing entries should be ignored by reports and most reports I know of effectively do so automatically or can be configured to ignore closing entries.
Should you still find reports that show closing entries where they shouldn’t, please file this as a bug in our bugzilla database (https://bugs.gnucash.org)

Allow saving of Custom Reports without changing name, overwriting existing report
Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649284
Currently the 'Add Report' button is only available if a report's name is changed. If a report's details are changed e.g. new account added/date range changed then the name has to be changed to be able to save this, causing clutter.
If the 'Add Report' button was always available, the option to overwrite the exisiting saved report could be given.64 votesThe feature has been completed last week by Geert and will be available in 2.5.4 and any following gnucash release. Thanks Geert!

Reassociate already existing transactions with a bill/invoice
For example, you have a bill or invoice and payment relating to it gets recorded by some method other than the Business, Process Payment options, perhaps as a result of importing bank data. Rather than deleting the transaction and remaking it through the Business menu, why not just click some option to reassociate it with the invoice/bill, and let it mark that invoice/bill as payed if it's for the right amount. This can be a real time saver when you have a large number of transactions like this.
34 votesImplemented in SVN trunk, r21383.
-
Add a right-click option for jumping to an invoice/bill that a transaction refers to.
Similar to how you can right-click and jump to the other account that a transaction refers to, but have another option to instead be able to jump to the invoice/bill that the transaction refers to.
16 votesThis feature request has been implemented somewhere in the 3.x gnucash series.
-
Add the ability to attached scanned images to invoices.
Corresponding bugzilla item: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336843
Gnucash could kick off new process to display image based on type (gif, jpeg, pdf, etc) maybe. Similar function is present in Quicken.

Allow Filter By settings to be saved and reused
When I open my checking account, from the View | Filter By menu I set the Filter By settings in the Status tab to only show Unreconciled, Cleared, and Frozen status. I would like to see these filter settings saved and reused when I close and reopen GnuCash so that I do not have to redo the Filter By settings every time.
29 votesFrom what I recall this feature has been implemented in the experimental “trunk” branch so that it will be part of the next stable release.

business part payments
Occasionally, I pay part of a monthly business statement bill of materials. In the menu Business-Vendor-Process Payment, I would like an option to see a list of un-paid bills, then select each bill that I wish to add to the value of payment.
3 votesGnucash 2.6 is available, so this request can now be closed. Thank you.
