  1. Allow transactions to be hidden from Reconcile window

    It is common, when budgeting, to notionally 'move' money around (say into Reserve accounts) by Crediting the Bank account and Debiting a reserve account.

    This allows the Bank account to always show the 'real' money available rather than the actual value within the bank.

    At the moment, creating these transactions to notionally 'move' money around also makes them show up in the Reconcile window. This leaves a lot of unwanted entries to scroll through when reconciling actual (real) bank transactions.

    I suggest an extra option under the R column to mark an entry as 'hidden' (or 'virtual', 'ignored', or whatever…

  2. categorize the Mac build as public.app-category.finance

    Applications folders in OS X get large quickly because people don't usually subfolder them. View --> Arrange by Application Category makes it easier, but if there's no LSApplicationCategoryType key in the app's info.plist, the app is sorted into "Other" at the bottom. https://developer.apple.com/library/Mac/releasenotes/General/SubmittingToMacAppStore/#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010572-CH16-SW8

  3. Add way to attach Check Image to items; images remain hidden unless the cell is selected. Some report supporting.

    Images could be left in flat file and stored by reference. Support for a good compression file type, setting and reduction to b/w might make them more managably small. An images supporting report can print each check below the item on the same page.

  4. Reports: Placeholder accounts should link to CoA

    Some reports allow accounts to be links. That is, if clicked, a new Tab opens for this account.

    For typical placeholder accounts, this behavior is not desirable, as they are typically empty. Rather, they should jump to the according account in the chart of accounts and give focus to it.

    This would be usefull for many common reports, like balance sheet or income statement, which typically show top level accounts or only 1-2 layers deep, which often still are placeholder accounts.

  5. Open numerous GnuCash files at once in tabs

    Currently, I have a situation where personal and company transactions inter-relate (e.g. dividend payments, loans). Personal and Company files are completely separate and cannot be linked (there is another suggestion in thsi regard!).

    How about providing for numerous Gnucash files to be open at the same time, with toggling using tabs at the top at the page. That makes it easier to enter the corresponding transactions in both files.

    Currenlty, it is possible to open concurrent versions of GnuCash, but that is less userfriendly.

  8. Enlarge Arrows to Change Month

    In the date dialog box, the arrows on each side of the month should be enlarged. Many times when I click on an arrow, the dialog box disappears and the focus returns to the current month shown in the box.

  10. Scheduled Transaction Editor - Possibility to arrange scheduled transactions into folders and sub-folders

    Those having many scheduled transactions know full well how hard it can be to browse the whole list in order to look for the specific one you need to edit. It would me much easier if scheduled transactions could be grouped in some way.

  12. Add a retirement planning tool

    It would be very useful to have an inbuilt retirement planning tool that would:
    -Use assets (if approved by user) in developing plan
    -allow different assumptions such as inflation rates, ROIs etc.
    -Show projected net-worth
    -Track progress against set plan
    -Allow modeling of variations to plan assumptions

  13. Attach files or locations to Accounts

    Recently the ability was added to attach files or Locations to a Transaction. It would be great if this was also possible for accounts (in case this is easier: Location would be enough). Often an account is related to a certain Folder, e.g. bills from one Company or bank Statements. In particular for bank Statements and credit Cards, you wouldn't want to attach the file to each trx, but rather be able to quickly open the Folder and open the document manually.

    Best,

  15. addition of addition columns in account form

    I am happy gnucash user for last 6 years for small business. use it effectively for invoicing,tds etc. I also manage my Fixed Deposit accounts, bonds etc. It would be good to have extra columns to accomodate FD date,Maturity Date, interest rate, Interest periodicity. Now i put some of these in account code,desc,memo and run a custome report.. export to excel and use that for income tax income projection.

  16. Add support for multiple-step Income Statements

    I have fully described the need in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765375.

    I could add that I have found a workaround for representing taxes in a way that allows me to choose whether my income statement shows net income and net taxes with payroll tax deduced from both, or gross income and gross taxes with no sign of payroll tax in the report. I do this by first accumulating payroll tax as negative income, then adding special year-end transactions, and finally choosing whether to do case sensitive filtering or not when I run the Income Statement report. This method, however, does not scale…

  18. Add Hierarchy to "Business" Records (Vendor/Customer/Employee)

    I specifically need this for Vendors, but I can see how this would apply to Customers and Employees as well.

    I want to keep individual Vendors separate, but at the same time be able to aggregate them for reports. For example, I want to know how much money I spend at Starbucks Store #123 and keep that separate from Starbucks Store #124. I also want to know how much I spend at Starbucks in general, so I would want stores #123 and #124 to be under Starbucks (just like how the Account list works). Each individual business has unique addresses…
