The idea is well explained. The developers need to decide who’s going to work on this and when, but this idea will be considered in the near future.

This might be possible very quickly by writing a python script that opens the
gnucash file, queries for all customers, and writes out some text-based format.
Example for working with a Customer object in python is in

Hi,
I used GnuCash for sometimes, and found it generates a lot log
files(XXXX.xml.2010*.txt or .xac) in the same directory of my account data
file. I have 3 account data file for different purpose, When I look the
directory, it's not easily to locate my data file.Could you let gnucash write those log files into seperate directory?
For example, my data file is on 'accounting' directory, and file name is
'mydata.xml'. Then create a directory 'accounting/mydata.xml.log/', and write
all log files into that folder. It will make the account data folder much
clean.Thanks.

Thank you Christian, for pointing out that it is possible to have side by side
bar-graphs using the Asset Barchart report. The default setting for that
report is "use stacked bars" and I failed to note the check box. That report
may be somewhat helpful when comparing stocks/funds that I already own. But, on
further reflection, it will not be possible to display the Index information I
am hoping for without a new feature.Here is the dilemma. To use the current Asset Barchart report to do a side by
side comparison, it would be necessary to create bogus "Index accounts" that
duplicate the dollar and share data for each real stock/fund in your portfolio.
This, of course, would create chaos in GnuCash totals.To be able to capture index data without creating chaos, it is necessary to
first establish a new "Type" category "Stock/Fund Index", that can be
associated with a specific stock/fund, that doesn't impact real ledger totals.
Ideally, it would be wonderful if GnuCash could create a stock/fund graph, like
Morningstar, that includes the fund you own plus two indexes. Here is an
example: http://quote.morningstar.com/fund/f.aspx?t=FAIRX&t1=1295434825 In
Moringstar's case they have to use a $10,000 growth scenario. But GnuCash could
offer real dollar and percentage information.I sure hope that a GnuCash developer will be intrigued by this possibility. You
can do it! I know you can!Thanks for your consideration,
Don

The other points are interesting suggestions, however I don't know whether any
of the developers are going to work on that in the near future.Askarii

In sum, it would be great to have a tool to export the client/supplier details as a .txt or .csv format which would be compatible with, say Google Contacts, or thunderbird contacts.
The main goals are:
1. Transfering contact lists to/from GnuCash and Address books of other apps.
2. Not have to re-write all client/supplier details when you scrap/move/replace your GnuCash installation etc.
