Sync desktop to the app
How to sync the desktop to the app: import structure and also the transactions.
First go to desktop and do save as and save as an xml file ex: Business.xml

Nothing will happen.
Next go to the app and select Open and browse to the place the xml file was saved, select it and open. It will then say importing xml.
All structure and also all transactions will appear.

A/Payable Shows red amounts on some transactions
Recently payable account shows a red minus value after a payment? Searched for ever to find why all other transactions are normal.
By total accident discovered that if auto number invoice is used, then its normal.
Adding an invoice number makes a red entry.
The solution, make sure the payables account has the same invoice number for recording and paying, by default it does not add the invoice number on one entry, add it manually and balances show normal then.
Perhaps add a tip somewhere on this in help file or cause gnucash to copy custom invoice numbers on debits…1 vote -
How To: Remove Entries from Recent File History List
After searching forever and finding no answers, but seeing other people also ask ... the question remains, how to remove the history of opened accounts, say for example you have several test accounts in various locations or named the same ... example: business.gncash, but 3 versions... obviously it's very helpful to remove what is not currently used or named unique.
Most people use Windows right ?
Open regedit (type regedit in the run box, press ok)
Open HKEYCURRENTUSER
Expand Software then GSettings then org then gnucash
Click on the History folder to see a list of names and…1 vote -
CNY currency change to CNH
Currently GnuCash uses CNY as Chinese Yuan currency name, is it possible to change it to CNH, insce CNY is Chinese Yuan used in Mainland China, which is not available to exchange for other currencies, and CNH is the offshore version of the same currency (therefore can be exchanged for other currencies). Detail please see here https://www.dailyfx.com/forex/fundamental/article/special_report/2018/09/12/cnh-vs-cny-differences-between-the-two-yuan-.html

When a number is entered in both columns (credit/debit) keep most recently entered number rather than deleting both
I was setting up my personal finance and got mixed up with column names and put all my credit card transactions in "Payments" instead of "Charges". After 20-25 transactions I realized my mistake and quickly went down the list typing in the number into the "Charges" column from the payments. I assumed it would delete the number in the "Payments" column. Instead it deleted BOTH numbers and saved the resulting transactions, thus making it so I had to go back to my source document (which, since I summarize and sub-total some transactions, was a pain in the neck).
If I…

Make the need for ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY env var (or preference) clear while setting up
I was setting up multi-currency and just quickly followed the instructions that came up. It failed. Turned out I needed an Alpha Vantage API Key in order for it to work. I didn't find this out until I went deep into the trouble-shooting docs even though this is apparently a basic requirement.
If this is a requirement, when someone is setting up multi-currency include that as a step and ask them to enter it at that time.
WHERE I LOOKED IN DOCS: Section 9.6.3 where it says this:
Run Install Online Price Retrieval which can be found in the GnuCash…

Set the default frequency of scheduled transactions to monthly
99% of my scheduled transactions are on a monthly basis and almost never do I use a daily scheduled transaction.
It makes sense (if others' usage is similar to mine) to either set the default frequency for these scheduled transactions to "Monthly" or (if my usage is not similar) to either (a) have a preference to set or (b) keep track of whatever was used last and make that the default for the next one.

Allow scrolling of tabs
Currently if I click on the horizontal arrows on the tab row it selects the next/previous tab. That means if I am on one end and want to go to the other end I have to cycle through all of them.
Better to have one or more of these options:
* Allow tab row to be extended to multiple rows so that multiple rows of tabs can be seen at one time (you often see this on preference dialogs)
* Resize the tabs if the number of tabs doesn't fit so that it does fit, even if I can't see…1 vote -
use ctrl-pgup and ctrl-pgdn for next/prev tab rather than requiring the ctrl-alt
It's more standard and easier/faster to not require the alt key in addition to the ctrl key

Improve the documentation on setting up hotkeys (or make it more intuitive)
Currently I can (apparently) set up hotkeys. The process is not intuitive at all and requires significant background knowledge.
SUGGEST: Add examples which show names of common keys
SUGGEST: Make the whole process more intuitive by allowing hotkeys to be configured in the preferences

Auditing report to show what changes were made when (and, later, by whom)
An auditing report shows recent changes sorted by date. This would be very helpful when trying to sort out issues caused by simple data entry error.

Reconcile window: Add number of transactions for "Funds Out" (debit) and "Funds In" (credits).
This minor modification will help in tracking down discrepancies by comparing these numbers to the ones on the bank or credit card statements.

A Security Ageing Report for determining Short/Long Term Capital Gains
An Ageing report for securities to determine Capital Gains - both Long / Short term.
Some Securities may be classified as 365 days for LTCG, others 3/5 years. Settings for securities may be set in the security editor itself when creating the security. eg Shares have 1 year as LTCG, Mutual Funds have 3 years as LTCG, Bonds have varying terms, etc1 vote -
Hotkey Toggle for Reconcile Field Value
When entering values on a ledger transaction entry, there's no way to toggle the value of the R (reconcile) field without using the mouse. I'm recommending that <ctrl+r> be a hotkey combo that toggles this value for open transactions during the data entry process.

Create check writing feature similar to QucikBooks
GnuCash supports generating checks via the Accounts Payable process. I'd like to see a more simple method to write checks similar to how QuickBooks works. Instead of entering a bill/invoice into accounts payable, simply write a check to the vendor. Multiple checks could be written and then printed as a batch. Many, if not most, cash businesses don't use an accounts payable process. Rather they simply hold the bills/invoices and then generate checks as needed.
I would be willing to contribute funds to implement this feature.

Advanced actioning of Scheduled Transactions
I get paid on the last day of the month (31st) and have a scheduled transaction to auto-create for that, as well as all of the transactions for the following month (1st-30th). This way, I allay have a view of how much " "disposable income" I have until I get paid again. In December, I always get paid on 19th-21st, but I now have to wait about 10 days until my scheduled transactions auto-create, so have no view of my disposable income, at a time when my spending can be quite fluid. I'd like to be able to go into…

Highlight the "Imbalance USD" line to make it easier to spot, at least for me.
Since Gnucash is based on double entry bookkeeping, it I miss and entry or have a keyboard error which sometimes I'm prone to do, the amount of the error pops up on Imbalance USD. If this line is highlighted, then it will be easier to spot, at least for me. This isn't critical, but it would make my life easier. ;-)
