  1. Encrypted remote storage of files

    Hi,

    I'd like to propose to have a built-in encrypted remote storage for GnuCash.
    Currently I manually sync my GnuCash files between devices, which is annoying and can sometimes lead me to make errors when updating files.
    Using something like Etebase (https://www.etebase.com/), I could encrypt and store my GnuCash files in a remote database, removing the need to manually sync my devices.
    It's also possible for multiple people to use the database at the same time, so organizations could store their sensitive data in the Etebase, and have all of their accountants access them remotely.

  2. Export Scheduled Transactions

    I want to export the scheduled transactions so when I export the accounts into a new (year end) gnucash file I may then import al of my scheduled transactions as well. I like to start with a clean register each year.

  3. CSV debit/credit field

    Mint exports CSVs with an always positive "Amount" field and a separate "Transaction type" field with values in ["debit" "credit"]. There is no way of importing correctly with the currently available fields

  4. Advanced actioning of Scheduled Transactions

    I get paid on the last day of the month (31st) and have a scheduled transaction to auto-create for that, as well as all of the transactions for the following month (1st-30th). This way, I allay have a view of how much " "disposable income" I have until I get paid again. In December, I always get paid on 19th-21st, but I now have to wait about 10 days until my scheduled transactions auto-create, so have no view of my disposable income, at a time when my spending can be quite fluid. I'd like to be able to go into…

  5. Create check writing feature similar to QucikBooks

    GnuCash supports generating checks via the Accounts Payable process. I'd like to see a more simple method to write checks similar to how QuickBooks works. Instead of entering a bill/invoice into accounts payable, simply write a check to the vendor. Multiple checks could be written and then printed as a batch. Many, if not most, cash businesses don't use an accounts payable process. Rather they simply hold the bills/invoices and then generate checks as needed.

    I would be willing to contribute funds to implement this feature.

  6. Batch (bulk) editing of transactions

    In addition to categorizing multiple transactions at once, additionally being edit any field in multiple transactions. Could be a "find/replace" feature added to the "find".

  8. In register displays differentiate where past/current transactions and future transactions meet

    Currently all transactions in a register alternate between the same colors making is difficult to find where the break between past/current date and future date transactions meet. It would be helpful if a visual clue like a line with an contrasting color could be placed between the 2 record sets.

  9. Have notes appear on the same line as the transaction

    This is not my idea but azalea4va 's.
    I just want to place it for a vote.

    Currently there is the option to have Transaction Notes appear as a second line on the transaction.
    azalea4va seems to have created already the code to place the notes on the transaction line next to the description.
    This is an option that I would welcome in GNUCASH.
    And it would not mean that the existing placement of the Notes should go away for the people that wish it.

    Maybe azalea4va could provide an option that the notes can be placed
    on a new…

  11. Allow multiple currencies/securities in QIF imports

    It would be great if QIF imports could handle multiple currencies/securities in different split transactions.

    My actual use case is to create a stock transaction that contains some split transactions due to tax withholding, regulatory fee, commissions.

    Currently QIF investment transactions do not support split categories, so I could not use QIF investment transactions to represent the desired transaction.

    Currently the normal QIF bank/split transactions do not support different currencies/securities in different splits so I could not use that either.

    OFX format does not support split transactions either.

    It seems only the CSV import supports my use case now. However,…

  13. Hotkey Toggle for Reconcile Field Value

    When entering values on a ledger transaction entry, there's no way to toggle the value of the R (reconcile) field without using the mouse. I'm recommending that <ctrl+r> be a hotkey combo that toggles this value for open transactions during the data entry process.

  14. Split toggle button (expand/collapse all transactions)

    I use the "Transaction Journal" style (Prefs > Register Defaults > Default Style) to constantly compare splits between months.

    Although this mode is the most useful to me, as the transactions start increasing, it becomes tedious to find a specific transaction and overwhelming to look at all the available information when you're scrolling through.

    It would be extremely useful to have a toolbar button that toggles between the existing "Basic Ledger" and "Transaction Journal" modes, which would act as a "Collapse All" / "Expand All" option for all available transactions.

    An Ageing report for securities to determine Capital Gains - both Long / Short term.
    Some Securities may be classified as 365 days for LTCG, others 3/5 years. Settings for securities may be set in the security editor itself when creating the security. eg Shares have 1 year as LTCG, Mutual Funds have 3 years as LTCG, Bonds have varying terms, etc

  16. Reconcile window: Add number of transactions for "Funds Out" (debit) and "Funds In" (credits).

    This minor modification will help in tracking down discrepancies by comparing these numbers to the ones on the bank or credit card statements.

  17. Auditing report to show what changes were made when (and, later, by whom)

  18. Improve the documentation on setting up hotkeys (or make it more intuitive)

    Currently I can (apparently) set up hotkeys. The process is not intuitive at all and requires significant background knowledge.

    SUGGEST: Add examples which show names of common keys

    SUGGEST: Make the whole process more intuitive by allowing hotkeys to be configured in the preferences

  19. use ctrl-pgup and ctrl-pgdn for next/prev tab rather than requiring the ctrl-alt

    It's more standard and easier/faster to not require the alt key in addition to the ctrl key

  20. Allow scrolling of tabs

    Currently if I click on the horizontal arrows on the tab row it selects the next/previous tab. That means if I am on one end and want to go to the other end I have to cycle through all of them.

    Better to have one or more of these options:
    * Allow tab row to be extended to multiple rows so that multiple rows of tabs can be seen at one time (you often see this on preference dialogs)
    * Resize the tabs if the number of tabs doesn't fit so that it does fit, even if I can't see…
