Allow batch export/printing of files associated with expenses/transactions over time range
One feature I utilize extensively is the "associate file with transaction", so that I have proof of an expense which I deduct against my income. However, for the benefit of someone ever being audited, one should be able to export a year of expenses, and have the receipts automatically labeled and exported in a graphical manner too. I currently use a set of python scripts I wrote to:
1) Determine the transactions that occur over my desired range (i.e. Jan. 1 2016 to Dec. 31 2016).
2) Converts the file for each receipt to a PDF with image magick, and prints a label at the top of each file, noting the expense date, number, type, filename, etc.
3) Generates a giant PDF with my expense table and ALL receipts.
This is something that should be available to non-technical users. The python scripts are a little buggy, so I haven't bothered posting them to github.

I got audited last year, My current financial software allows me to associate receipts with transactions but has this exact limitation. This prompted me to look for something new. If you had this feature or if I knew it was coming, I would switch to this software in a second. I have only been looking at it for a day but from what I see this looks like a great piece of software. I am a Java Developer with a little C experience I would be willing to help out with this.
