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".

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.

  1. Add a text console/terminal

    A few projects exist out there that have attempted to make working with Gnucash data outside of Gnucash more feasible including CashUtil (for adding transactions through the command line), Ledger (for generating custom reports), pygnucash2ledger (to convert Gnucash data to text-based Ledger format). With the current Gnucash setup, making custom reports can be challenging and time consuming. Programs like Ledger allow for the data to be analyzed in text format making custom reports easier for those who know how to use programs like Gnuplot.

    What I propose (and this certainly is not a simple request), is to have a tab…

    Thank you for your request. In itself it’s an interesting idea. It is however outside the scope a gnucash to add such console. It would add an unreasonable overhead of either maintaining a complete syntax internally or embedding another scripting language.

    The closest that currently exist are the guile and python bindings which can be used to extract information from your gnucash data file in guile or python respectively. And even those are already less well maintained due to the lack of manpower/real world usage. They will probably do much of what you are looking for already.

  2. include a memo/notes column in the account register display page. Thank you

    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.

  4. Line up the 'Debit' and 'Credit' headings with the columns in the Trial Balance report

    In the Trial Balance report the headers, saying 'Debit' and 'Credit' are not in line with the value columns, despite all combinations of settings. Could it be fixed or an option given to allow you to place the text boxes into the correct position

    Thank 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.

  6. 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

    We 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.

  7. Print Search Results

    When I use the Find feature from the Edit drop down menu to list a specific transaction that occurs more than once in one of my Accounts, I would like to print those results. The only way you can print is when you use one of the reports from the Report drop down menu.

    Thank you for your suggestion. This is however already possible: after you have searched for your transactions, select the Account Report from the reports menu. This will display your search results in a printable format.

  8. 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,
    Ruben

    As 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.
