  1. Allow user to assign accounts' colors in charts via GUI

    The dynamic color assignment is either hit or miss. Might be very nice but after adding an account it might turn into terrible candy-fest.

    Why not allow user to define fixed colors in charts via GUI? For instance, do it via Account settings (where tab color is being set) or within chart's settings itself - right next to accounts' selection.

  2. More options for the scheduled transaction scheduler please

    I've run into two situations that the current transaction scheduler cannot handle.
    One involves a monthly transaction for a lottery. The logic is that they draw prizes on let's say every second Monday of the month; but the payment is debited 4 days in advance. So I'd like to have an offset to these types of dates.
    The second involves a payment that usually occurs on the 25th, unless it's in the weekend. In this case however, the payment gets moved to Friday if the 25th is a Saturday and to Monday if the 25th is a Sunday, in other…

  4. Show totals on search results page

    When conducting a search (Edit -> Find...) it would be very useful if the results would populate with a summary of the totals at the bottom of the screen (much like an account register does). I realize this information can be found by running a transaction report, but it sure would be quick and easy if a summary appeared in the Search Results transactions window. Currently using Gnucash 4.11 built on Ubuntu 22.04. Thanks to all the contributors!

  5. Hide hidden accounts from the drop down list in the ledger.

    It seems any hidden accounts should no longer be accessible for general use till they are unhidden. QuickBooks has a way to make account inactive. They then completely disappear for general use and only appear on old reports where they were previously used.

  7. boldface and larger fonts

    I tried following the directions in:
    https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/GTK3#Typefaces
    It didn't work for me. (M1 Mini Ventura)
    I guess I need more detailed information or a video.
    Thanks for a great product!

  8. Use a special icon for Placeholder Accounts.

    It's really hard for me to keep track of what is properly set to be a Placeholder Account or not. Yes, I can make the checked box column, but that's EDITABLE so I could easily screw that up.

    It would be great to have that column be LOCKED or have a separate icon to denote the account is a Placeholder, so that I don't accidentally change one that I don't want to. Then I could just right-click the column to change if the account is a Placeholder or not.

  9. "Total (Period)" available for a default/generic currency

    Within the ACCOUNTS main tree, there are multiple instances of available fields that are shown either within a source currency, or a default/generic one to choose from (Balance & Balance(USD)).

    However, the one missing is those that pertain to periods, namely the "TOTAL (PERIOD)" is for a source currency only.

    It would be great to have option for those to have a default/generic currency available as well.

  10. Configuration files - to go to a database

    With all the configuration files involved (GCM, CSS, saved reports, keyfile) it would be very nice to enclose those within the database itself.

    Not only it would make it much cleaner to work with (backup, copy, move, etc.), but having multiple books - it could keep up us from the mess and plethora of not-correlated custom reports and settings, once opening a different set of books.

  11. Reports: show transactions related to the link instead of jumping to the account

    In reports, hyperlinks are pointing towards accounts.
    To allow for better analysis of a report, hyperlinks should return the only transactions related to the line of the report, like in a search window.

  12. Record capital gains in currency A for a stock traded in a different currency B

    I have been trading NASDAQ and NYSE stock denominated in USD via an european broker accound where I hold my cash in EUR.

    When buying or selling a stock in USD, a currency exchange is performed, so the whole buy/sell cycle looks EUR->USD->STOCK->USD->EUR.

    Thus, between buying and selling a stock lot, I may have a certain gain in USD, but a different value, even maybe a loss in EUR, due to EURUSD having fluctuated during the holding period.

    in the STOCK denominated account, when accounting the sale, I would like to record theCapital gain/loss Income in Euro and the sale/purchase…

  13. Add an "Actual Year-to-Date" column to the Budget Report. I would like to see the totals by account and by month.

    In order for the budget report to be useful throughout the year, one needs to see the YTD each month, both budgeted and actual. This allows you to see where you are, ahead or behind, of your projection, and adjust as necessary.

  14. Pop up an alert when inputting a duplicate bill ID on a vendor

    Inputting a bill for a vendor with the same BILL ID should trigger a warning / not be allowed - should edit the existing bill ID instead, or add a serial -01 -02 to it.

  15. Edit pop up dialogs to have keyboard shortcuts, especially for yes/no prompts

    Not all prompts (e.g. are you sure you want to delete this split) have a keyboard shortcut, an underlined Y or N for Yes/No. It would improve workflow to be able to use the keyboard to make menu choices.

  16. Ability to split payments across multiple invoices

    A vendor (e.g. Insurance company) that holds multiple policies and bills them separately but processes the payments as one line item. I would like to be able to split up a credit card or bank payment to multiple invoices. Each bill/invoice has a different start date and monthly/periodic amount.

  17. Include Accounts for Online Action - Issue Transaction - Template

    I can add all the details for an Online transaction. I can store the details in a template to use the same transaction the next time. However, if I make the online transaction from the template I have to manually select the referring accounts.

    I suggest that the accounts to which the transaction is to be booked to are stored with the template and as an otion may be detected by the Bayes algorithm. That saves every time to think about to which accounts the last booking of that typpe has been made to, (This may be only a feature…

  20. Add a warning, if a booking is in a placeholder account.

    Placeholder account typically have no bookings. If they do, they should generate a warning.

    I'm not sure yet, were the warning should appear and when, but open for discussion. I think I would not be sufficient to only do this when a booking actually happens (is this even possible? Never tried). For me this usually happens, when I create subaccounts and have forgotten to reallocate all bookings properly.

    I guess, the warning could be made optional.
