Change default invoice report to a user-created custom one
When creating/editing/viewing an invoice, one can easily click the "printer button" so a report about the invoice is generated, in a format that can be sent to customers.
However, the default report isn't exactly beautiful and readable, so I created a custom report and saved the template. This way, I can send better invoices to my customers. Unfortunately, I have to open my custom report, search for the invoice and, finally, generate the result I want.
That got me thinking: it would be so more practical if I could choose the default template or custom report to be used by the "print button" in the invoice menu. Is there any possibility that the developers could permit the user to change the style of the report used by that button, making it use a custom report/template?

Encrypted remote storage of files
Hi,
I'd like to propose to have a built-in encrypted remote storage for GnuCash.
Currently I manually sync my GnuCash files between devices, which is annoying and can sometimes lead me to make errors when updating files.
Using something like Etebase (https://www.etebase.com/), I could encrypt and store my GnuCash files in a remote database, removing the need to manually sync my devices.
It's also possible for multiple people to use the database at the same time, so organizations could store their sensitive data in the Etebase, and have all of their accountants access them remotely.4 votes -
Sort transactions on Date&Number
Allow ordering of transactions by both date and number. Currently sorting by date only generally gives the required order, but can occasionally get mixed up if transactions are entered at different times (or on different machines). Sorting on date and number would allow the number to be used to achieve the required date order sequence (such as to match a bank account listing).

responded
Another request came in which seems to clarify this issue. As it was sent by Anonymous I’m not sure it’s from the same person. As they deal with the same issue I have merged them together. A simple comment on this request would have been sufficient as well.
Anyway it looks the default sorting as you are asking for only happens on the register pages and not in the reports. I have reverted the status of this request.

improve scheduled transactions to support simple daily interest formulas
US Federal student loans are based on simple daily interest, calculated between payments. To properly split principal / interest, I need a variable representing days since last payment.

Have the option to print or save a summary of the reconcile.
After a monthly reconcile it would be very helpful to have a summary statement showing the date, transaction, amount, cleared balance and register balance with the date of the reconciled statement. In this manner, if there is a question about a previous transaction it can easily be resolved.

Automate setup for reconciliation
As introduced in this thread: http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2004-November/011977.html
I see no reason reconciliation cannot utilize the already existing code used for walking users through finding duplicates in QIF imports. Reconciliation is all about finding duplicates in order to identify lone transactions.
Having gnucash import a QIF, identify likely matches, then prompt the user whether to mark Reconciled is far faster and more efficient than the current system of my printing out my bank statement and manually checking off each transaction on paper switching back and forth to the gnucash reconciliation screen to click on the matching transaction.
And the code is already there!

Separate the price history file from the data file so multiple sets of accounts can use common history
If the price history were stored seperately to the company accounts data it would ensure integrity of price history accross different entities (ie all your entities are using the same price for a security on any given date). This wouls also mean that prices only need to be updated once (instead of once per data file). In addition the structure required for the price history databse would be far more simple, potentially allowing direct enty into the database from external programs (eg to populate price history).

Total by period column in budget
The budget feature already includes a total column on the right for the year end total of that account.
I would like to see a total row at the bottom, which shows total income and expenses for that month/period. This is common in budgeting.

more web interface for report for easy navigation
This idea focus on "navigation" between different reports
Currently, to do a report, we have to click the menu, move your mouse, click again because menu is closedsuppose i want to open multiple reports, it could be a lot easier to see a navigation menu in report page. left clicking it navigate to thew new report in current tab, without having to close an "old" tab.
shift+left click or middle clicking the link/button open a new tab without focusing it3 votes -
Provide a built-in accounting calculator
Provide a 'printer calculator', like a simulator of one of these (http://static1.evermotion.org/files/model_images/3e3da420fb324780b21020125fa04ec9.jpg) so that you can print out calculations and attach them to transactions.

Make description and memo switchable in get online transactions
When doing a "get transactions" in the online menu, then the value the bank transmits in the purpose-field is set as the description-field of the resulting transaction.
It would make much more sense, if it instead would be written into the memo-field of the corresponding split (since on another bank account, the same transaction gets another purpose field).
At least it would be nice, if the user had the choice in which of the fields he wants the entry to be written.
Personally I prefer a simple and clear text in the description field, while the value from my bank is usually kind of cryptical.When doing a "get transactions" in the online menu, then the value the bank transmits in the purpose-field is set as the description-field of the resulting transaction.

Easy account selection.
When selecting an account in a transaction to change it or make it new it would be lovely to have a window popup (via a button-click) that opened a list of accounts. Non placeholder accounts would have a check-box and clicking the okay button would apply the checked account/s to the transaction. Multiple boxes would create multiple splits where all you have to do is fill in the amount.
Thanks!

Improved form for mass bill entry
I need an entry form where I can just enter
date, bill number, credit, debit account, text and value, value-to-credit if the credit- to account is an asset account, value-to-debit if the credit to account is a liabilities account.
Also a log scrolling upwards would be nice so I can queue these transactions and can review if I have entered running bills id correctly or missed something out from the bills.Yours,
Jens

Provide an option so invoices print by default formatted for #10 window envelopes.
I suggest you provide an options to format an invoice for a standard #10 window envelope. This will allow us to stuff the bill in the mail without having to print separate customer addess labels.

Import time data .csv or .xls
It would be AMAZING for GnuCash to be able to import .csv or .xls data from time tracking software, and then apply said data to an invoice, with the ability to list out individual items/tasks on the invoice
