Feature Request

Welcome to the GnuCash “New Feature Request” forum.

Please review/search the existing requests before posting a new request.

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. Allow for transaction delays

    The idea here would be to use an account for funds in flight, allowing you to account for the delays between financial institutions.

    You would go into the Transfer Funds menu and it would have a tick mark for "delay". When this is ticked, another option called "Date Received" appears. If it has a different date, GnuCash would create TWO transactions. One which goes from accountfrom to Limbo, and another which goes from Limbo to accountto.

    Ideally these transactions would be linked such that a change in the amount or description would also reflect in the other accounts.

  3. Add user levels access (username/password), Setting MySql or Postgresql Database

    Need user level access, with username and password.

    Need database setting, for administrator only, not for all users. This is very important, to make database secure from all users access.

    Thank you

  4. Save read-only status in the "recent" entries

    when you use "open" you can specify "read-only" seems to work fine but... it looks like its not saving that in the "recent" entries. which means you need to redo all the path all-over again every time with the open if this would be saved with the "recent" entry it would be very very nice. Also along those lines . it would be nice to document that to create a read only access you need to "grant" insert update and delete to db.gnclock and select to db.*

  5. Change DBI test for mysql to allow proper read-only

    Currently Mysql DBI back-end requires too permissive "grants" on database. There is a Read-only tick-box but it seems to require Update, insert and delete on database. also "locking" is achieved trough a table in said database where-as mysql already has "locking" facilities for its tables. i would like to be able to add a Select+execute only user so i can say give access to an accountant without giving write access...risking data corruption by 3rd party.

  6. Add keyboard shortcut for "show/hide hidden accounts" in Accounts view

    Currently this takes five mouse clicks: View > Filter By > Other > Show hidden accounts > OK. A shortcut like Ctrl-H would be helpful.

  7. Sync android app with desktop

    My request is a way to sync the app with the desktop version. I input data via my pc as it is much easier, but then I would like to sync my app to the desktop versoon so I can quickly check balances. As gnu cash lacks such a sync feature, I would switch to a different app if not for gnucash being the only app with sub accounts

  9. Enable searches to be saved.

    Saved Searches would enable recurring or complex searches to be re-executed without having to reconfigure them anew. Also, if savable, then specific criteria could be adjusted, like parameters, to perform like searches in various ways, again saving the user time.

  11. Make Account code searchable

    This has been useful in traditional accounting when there is a large number of accounts with complex structure and sometimes similar names. The fully qualified account name becomes too long for such big books

    • make account code unique
    • make account code one of the search parameters when looking for an account
    • entering the account code suggest the corresponding account when entering into the transaction

  12. Not sound the error beep for every little thing

    GNU Cash (running on Win10) keeps beeping on every little thing that is done for one's convenience. For example, if I hold down the backspace key to delete everything until the cursor hits the left edge, GNU Cash gives an error beep after the cursor hits the left edge. Or if the left or right arrow keys are kept depressed to reach the beginning or end of a line.

    Error beeps get annoying for somethings that the user understands he/she is doing on purpose (this is done all the time in other programs).

    Error beep should be reserved only for…

  13. Better sorting of scheduled transaction

    Currently, scheduled trx editor sorts by next booking, even including non-active trx. I suggest that:
    - Non-active trx are moved to the end of the list.
    - Sorting order is saved (in the sense of e.g. alphabetcially descending)

    The second item would be more important to me, but the first one is a nuissance too. Most of my inactive trx are quite old, so the "next transaction" is way in the past and therefore much earlier than any active trx, resulting in a long list of inactive trx, before I get to anything relevant.

    Alternatively, I would suggest to allow…

  14. Multi-year comparison report

    Is there a way to generate a multi-year report comparing multiple years in one report? Only way I've been able to do anything remotely close is to generate multiple reports and cycling between the tabs but it would be nice to be able to have all the information on one report separated by columns.

  16. Allow csv import of historical quotes

    Ever since the online quotes support ended, update stock prices has become a tedious process. The user must go through the gui, find each stock and enter each price one at a time.

    Yahoo and others allow users to export stock information to a .csv file. Provide a mechanism to allow users to import stock prices from a .csv file. Perhaps something similar to how users can now import transaction data from .csv.

  17. Add memo field to 1-line view

    As landscape monitors have become much more common, it would be nice if GnuCash would use some of that extra space. It would be nice to have the option to include the Memo field in the 1-line view.
