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 the full label (like tabs on a browser)
* Allow the arrows on either end to be scrolling arrows (a horizontal page at a time) rather than selecting arrows (like excel or sheets when scrolling worksheet tabs)If someone needs next/previous that could either be a separate button or they could just use the ctrl-alt-pg(up/dn) keys

implement standing orders via HBCI
Standing Orders (German: Daueraufträge) are not supported by GnuCash at the moment. But the underling libary AqBanking has support for it. It would be nice to have this feature in GnuCash.

Make the import dialog keyboard friendly
When importing bank transactions, the current import dialog requires us to double click each entry to assign an account. It would be much more efficient to be able to use the keyboard to navigate through the transactions and type in an account to assign the transaction to. In effect, the import dialog would behave a little more like the standard transaction view.

Offer support to LUA scripting to report programming
It would be great to offer the possibility to extend GNU Cash by programming reports using LUA script language.

Allow csv import of historical quotes
Ever since the online quotes support ended, update stock prices has become a tedious process. The user must go through the gui, find each stock and enter each price one at a time.
Yahoo and others allow users to export stock information to a .csv file. Provide a mechanism to allow users to import stock prices from a .csv file. Perhaps something similar to how users can now import transaction data from .csv.

GnuCash for Synology DSM
GnuCash is available for Linux distributions like Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.
Nowadays network attached storage (NAS) is quite popular. NAS-systems are relatively cheap and offer great value (file station, photo station, backup, etc.). NAS-systems from Synology (and many competitors) are based on Linux.
It is beneficial for small companies that GnuCash becomes available on NAS-systems like Synology DSM.
Typically a NAS is always running. The continuous availability makes it easy for somebody to update a GnuCash administration on a NAS by using a webclient. Without much effort, somebody else may check the same GnuCash administration at a later time.
Although a GnuCash administration can't be used by multiple concurrent users, having a central GnuCash administration, which is always available, is useful since it can be used by multiple persons (albeit one person at a time).
How does it work when I am a Synology DSM user and am looking for financial software? In the DSM Package Manager GnuCash becomes visible in the category "Community". I will be inclined to give it a try since installing and uninstalling a package is easy. So deploying GnuCash on NAS-systems will motivate more people to have a look at GnuCash (and start using the software).
Notes:
1. Please refer to https://synocommunity.com for other 3rd party packages available for Synology DSM or https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/packages for the regular add-on packages for Synology DSM .
2. I am happy to participate in the development process, e.g. by testing the solution.GnuCash is available for Linux distributions like Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.

Have notes appear on the same line as the transaction
This is not my idea but azalea4va 's.
I just want to place it for a vote.Currently there is the option to have Transaction Notes appear as a second line on the transaction.
azalea4va seems to have created already the code to place the notes on the transaction line next to the description.
This is an option that I would welcome in GNUCASH.
And it would not mean that the existing placement of the Notes should go away for the people that wish it.Maybe azalea4va could provide an option that the notes can be placed
on a new line, same line or hidden all together. based on his screen
shots, maybe azalea4va coded for that option already. If that's the
case, I see no reason why his request cannot be accommodated. Make it my request too. Any other takers.
Thank you.This is not my idea but azalea4va 's.

Remember print settings
Each time I print an invoice, I need to reselect settings (date format, fields I want to show an hide, invoice style). I'd like to have those settings persistent.

Allow 0 decimal places in currency
Displaying amounts without the pennies/cents/kopeks sometimes makes sense.
Some currencies (e.g. Yen/Rupee/Zimbabwe $) have a pretty low value, so the 1/100ths of it aren't used in daily transactions.
Yet the preferences only allow 1-8 decimal places. Why 1-8?12 votes -
Add new currency: "IRT (Iranian Toman)"
Because while IRR is the government's official currency, people rarely use it, and practically all Iranians use IRT instead of IRR.

Support XBRL standards (SBR)
Support the new XBRL digital format standard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBRL
XBRL is widely used, and even mandatory now a days by the authorities and government. In The Netherlands for example they force you to use SBR (Standard Business Reporting). SBR is also based up-on the XBRL.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Business_Reporting
Standarizion gets more and more important. If GnuCash does not agree with focusing on digital standards, I do not see a good future.
Kind regards,

Improve transaction matching
When importing QFX: does not seem to account for the check number. Matcher does not show check number detail, so if I have multiple checks with the same amount, it's really hard to match things up. Also, if I choose "U+R", it overwrites my check descriptions with generic description from the QFX. Would be nice to just update the date and perhaps amount, if needed, but leave the original description. Also does not seem to want to match to anything older than about 2 months (Someone held the check for awhile.)

Add "Include Subaccounts" checkbox when getting online transactions
Similar to the Include sub account checkbox when reconciling an account, it would be very useful if when retrieving online transactions that the matching algorithm had the option to consider transactions within subaccounts. This feature would enable Envelope Budgeting - where I have one actual checking account but within GNUCash I subdivide it into several "envelopes", and pay for things out of those envelopes. Currently if I download transactions then modify them to debit the sub account, upon next downloading transactions the same ones come back, because they matching doesn't consider subaccounts.
I should also mention, your software is excellent - thanks for the work that you have done.

Fix the moving Entry Date problem by getting rid of entry time.
Reference: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137017
Currently GnuCash stores the entry date by setting it to midnight local time then converting it to timezone Z (which is either UTC or GMT depending on the operating system). Changing timezone to the west will change the entry date to the day before.
This proposal would fix the problem by saving only the date, without any timezone adjustments, so it would remain fixed regardless of the timezone in which it was entered.

sync data across multiple devices
We should be able to sync data across multiple devices. This would enable users to add entries as and when they occur and will also improve the convenience

Have an option to change the transaction color
It would be very helpful to have the ability to highlight either a transaction or a group of transactions by various colors. This could be used to highlight the end of a quarter, a transaction in need of review, and could be used to group transactions based on user preference ie green transactions are credit payments and red ones are credit charges. Basically, they could be used to easily make certain transactions stand out on the register, making it easier to spot those transactions. Making transactions easier to spot, makes things more productive and less error prone.

look up vendor addresses when printing checks
I print to many of the same vendors every month, using preprinted checks and window envelopes. I can print the check, but must fill in the address on every check. If there were a lookup of the vendor table and fill in the address, it would greatly simplify check printing. I would pay for this feature.
