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.

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 words it gets moved to the closest weekday. Currently you can select either before or after the weekend but not weekday closest.I've run into two situations that the current transaction scheduler cannot handle.

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!

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.

export
Bonjour
Est il prévu d'exporter l'ensemble des éléments de comptabilité dans le format réclamé par le gouvernement Français: le format "fec" , ou bien existe t'il des outils de transformation du xml vers fec?

boldface and larger fonts
I tried following the directions in:

It didn't work for me. (M1 Mini Ventura)
I guess I need more detailed information or a video.
Thanks for a great product!1 vote -
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.

"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.

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.

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.1 vote -
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 in USD, but GnuCash seems to expect that all movements (even when NOT bundled in the same accounting entry) be in the same currency. Should I be doing things differently or is this a legit limitation of the software? Any suggested workaround? Thanks.
What I do right now is: I denominate my Capital Gains Income account in EUR, I record the STOCK sale in the STOCK account as:
- a Sale movement of N STOCK at price X USD against a dollars account in my broker.
- a Capital Gains movement of 0 STOCK at price 0 EUR value against the EUR denominated Income account at exchange rate 1, because GnuCash somehow expects it must convert from USD, even if it is coming from a STOCK account. This will probably create bogus entries in the prices database, I assume, so not very happy with it.Many thanks in advance for maintaining this really good tool!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 for the German version, SEPA Einzelüberweisung)
An alternative may be only to select one bank account and let the transaction later be categorized by the Bays algorithm.
However, at the moment I have to select two accounts for the booking.

I suggest you provide a way to print the Transaction Linked Documents, available on the Tools menu.
I am the treasurer for a not-for-profit group. Our trustees review the books and records as part of our by-laws. Having a report of the Transaction Linked Documents would make it easier for the trustees to verify selected transactions.
