Avoid security problems
Fix GnuCash to avoid the following problem with F-Secure. I scanned the PC on 2012.01.25 and got my report... Included was this portion pertains to GnuCash 2.4.9
"Result: 2 malware found
Suspicious:W32/Malware!Gemini (Suspected infection)C:\Program Files\gnucash\bin\ofxdump.exe C:\Program Files\gnucash\bin\sqlite3.exe"1 voteThis is a problem of F-Secure, but not of gnucash. We have secured our way of obtaining those executables (to my knowledge). There is nothing to do for us here.

Add the possibility to assign an account a start value at a later date and not at creation
Add the possibility to assign the start value also at a later date after creation of an account.
I'd like to be able to start adding entries without last years ledger to be closed. For the opening balance I need the possiblity to add the start value at a later time.
Either add the functionality to the account settings or create an account which is neutral and not calculated for balancing.
1 voteYou can create an “Opening Balance” at any time by creating a transaction with Equity:Opening Balances as the other account.

fortnightly frequency for scheduled transactions
allow frequency of fortnightly for scheduled transactions. For example,
days 1, 15, 29, and the next date would be the following month 14 days after the 29th of this month.1 voteThank you for your idea. I’m happy to inform you this is already possible though:
Choose Frequency “Weekly” and then select “Every 2 weeks”.
Choose 1 as your start date. The next iterations will be on the days you mentioned.

Support Armenian currency
Hello,
My name is Ruben.
Currently I am considering using GNU Cash for doing accounting in an Armenian IT company. Unfortunately Armenian currency is not supported in GNU Cash and therefore I can't go ahead with considering functionality/usability of your SW.
Looking forward to any idea comment.
Thanks,
Ruben1 voteAs far as I can see, the Armenian Dram (AMD) is supported in GnuCash. I can select it from the list of available currencies when creating a new account for example. If it is not available on your system, then there is a problem with your specific installation and this becomes a support question instead of a feature request.
In that case please contact the gnucash-user@gnucash.org mailing list to sort out the issue on your computer (see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more info on that mailing list) . But please do specify there which version of GnuCash you are using and on what operating system.
Thank you.

Provide a "Notes" or "Memo" box for each "Description" on a split transaction.
For people who use the "Description" box to record the place (for example, the store, business, or bank) where the transaction occurred, a "Memo" or "Notes" box for each split would be useful for describing, in particular, what that part of the transaction was for.
1 voteI believe this feature is already available in GnuCash.
Each split has a memo field that can be used the add more details. This field becomes visible in split view.
In addition each transaction also has a notes field for adding extra details. This field becomes visible in double-line mode. -
Provide an official XML schema
Provide an official, commented XML, definite schema (XSD) for others to write compatible apps. (e.g. for Android)
That's also a good idea for documentation and to verify file integrity.1 voteThere is an informative RELAX NG schema that describes the current xml file format, which you can use to learn about the xml file format.
It is however impossible to code various accounting constraints in such an xml schema (eg to enforce each transaction has a zero balance). For this reason it is formally strongly discouraged to use any external tool to modify the xml data, unless it does so via the GnuCash api.
So there is no incentive for the GnuCash developers to spend more effort on a more elaborate xml schema.

Primary key "Date (Month)" in sorting for user report
It might be helpfull to get a overview of the monthly costs to enable a primary sorting not only for a day, but furthermore for a month in addition to the monthly subtotal. So you can see the total costs of e.g. you insurance for every month directly followed by the refuel costs, even though they have charged it from your depot on different days:
E.g.
01.01. - insurance1 - depot:insurance - xx.xx €
03.01. - shell - depot:refuelCar - zz.zz €
04.01. - insurance2 - depot:insurance - yy.yy €
01.02. - insurance1 - depot:insurance - xx.xx €
...For…
1 voteThank you for your request.
However, as far as I can see this can already be accomplished with the current sort options.
Here is how:
Primary sort key: Date
Uncheck primary subtotal
Secondary sort key: Depot
Check secondary subtotal
Set secondary subtotal for date key to “Monthly” -

There is no new feature to add in this request. It appears to be a user support question instead, which has been answered.

create
when creating your account, you also create subaccounts Car maintenance, distance traveled, insurance, stamps where I come created many records that store the operating costs of the vehicle, all in function of the transaction fuel.
1 voteThank you for your request. However gnucash is an accounting package, not a vehicle expense tracking system. The features you are asking for are too specific for a generic accounting package. Sorry about that.

Allow adding notes and comments to graphs
Able to comment why there are certain trends in graphs. This way you will be able to understand historic trends why suddenly there was an increase/decrease in cashflow for example.
1 voteThank you for your request.
Unfortunately this is outside the scope of gnucash. GnuCash is not meant to permanently save a report in. It will only allow you to generate reports based on the data available.
If you wish to add notes or comment, I suggest you export your reports to html (or pdf even) and add these notes and comments via an external program, such as Excel, Libreoffice or Adobe Acrobat.

Program some sort of toggle that will enable one to grey out previously reconciled entries.
To make old entries stand out, why not include a check box or something that will make these visually different. This can be turned on or off as needed.
1 voteThank you for your request. I agree however with jcard21 that this would not add much over what’s already available via the View→Filter By option.

add version control to binaries so Secunia PSI can track against the latest version
Secunia PSI tracks version control to insure the latest version of each software package is at the latest version to prevent security risks by using older software
1 voteWe have no inclination to start to research about some additional external software we know nothing about. Either someone (e.g. you) provides the necessary technical information on what we need to do, or simply nothing will happen in that direction.

easy to use forum on gnucash.org
I'd like a single place, on the home website, where I can go to talk directly to other gnucash users and developers. Why not put a forum in at forums.gnucash.org?
1 voteBecause we have a long-established and very active community on our mailing lists.
Establishing a web forum would mean two places; making the web forum the “single place” would mean shutting down those long-established and active mailing lists.If you prefer a web-forum format to email, try Nabble (http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/)

SX transaction template vs. red line
The tx-template in the sx-editor currently respects the setting for days-before-readonly. So, if you enable the red line, you will not be able to edit the template for a scheduled transaction after some days.
1 voteThanks for reporting this, but it’s already in our bug tracker as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741228

Production of GST Audit File (GAF) to compile Malaysia GST Guideline
We were using GNUcash previously, but the introduction of the GST force us to pick another software. After few trails of other softwares we still prefer to use GNUcash if possible.
The GAF is one of the big blocker for continue using this software.
The file format requirement is at the linked PDF Appendix 5 ... http://bit.ly/1DYp2Go
1 voteSorry, we’re not likely to be able to support that any time soon. You might be able to hire a local consultant to create the report for you. That aside, there are several requirements of that document which GnuCash doesn’t, and isn’t ever likely to, comply with. In particular, GnuCash doesn’t provide any internal controls or audit trails, nor does it provide an archival mechanism to ensure the integrity of records after an extended period.

GnuCash is an accounting program targeted at home and single-proprietor businesses. It isn’t intended to be a one-stop tool for managing all aspects of a business.
