(from [10]) [#2] The budget spawns are now placed at the end of every recurrence period.

The question of tags have been revived by this GS thread

Wow! That was a short discussion. Postponing to "Future".

Because the only use case I have for tags is mine, and that, effectively, it just hides a lack of accounts (but having a "HS" version for all accounts is kind o...

If I remember correctly, one use case we discussed before is: you have some business-related transactions in a number of your expense accounts. You wa...

Do we want tags? What do we want to tag? What would be the use of tags?

from GS thread

Right now, the labels try to have their center at the edge of the circle. In fact, they should try to get out of the circle as much as possible so they don't hi...

from GS thread:

Have a way for the user to define custom currencies. One use for them would be "derivative assets", like air miles and the such.

Since [ 4149 ] (changeset in the old repo), the time required to run the complete test suite went from 18s to 36s. Figure something out.

If there's a crash happening if I modify a reconciled transaction and I change its currency, and then I choose "continue but don't unreconcile" (cannot coerce c...

from GS thread:

An idea I proposed earlier, but it seems to have gone lost: Credit Limits. It would be great to have that figure, if any, shown in each account...

At first, I thought that a "Forecasted" column would do the trick, but I changed my mind.

see GS thread

Unreconciliation is a little too tight. If I move a transaction in the same date as a reconciled txn, but I don't affect it, I get a warning.

gnucash doesn't have a QIF exporter. Also, it uses double-entry accounting, so some data is lost in the transition (well, kind of, well, I'm not even sure). Any...

When importing, it's always the same. There are some meaningless descriptions and they are always replaced by the same thing. There should be way to do that aut...

from email:

Using multi-currencies it would be great for reconciliation purposes to have a translated value column. At the moment I'm using the description area...

from email:

cutting and copying transactions between accounts/ledgers does not seem to work or is not fully implemented. I only seem to be able to cut & paste i...

as I'm starting to enter my balances I'm wondering where to put equity such as own capital. I.e. entering opening balances for my credit cards or lo...

from email:

why not add the present balance per account under the account name in the graph

from email:

I'd like to see a chart showing assets vs. liabilities over time

from me:

but there should also be one for income vs expenses

from email:

A shortcut key to reconcile a transaction would be great. I'd also prefer to have the checkbox to reconcile to the right, i.e. next to the balance;

from email:

• I'm missing a notes colum in the transaction/accounts window to enter notes per transaction;

• I'd like to have a notes field in the info pane for...

from derekJAB in GS:

I would also like to be able to drag the accounts into my preferred order rather than have them listed alphabetically.

from Eric

That's a nice thought, but label positioning is difficult and the graph can easily get crowded. I'd prefer going for what we talked about before: clic...

I'm looking at the newly created net worth graph, and I see some abrupt changes sometimes. I'm curious about what caused them. It would be nice if we could dete...

In this proposition, a transaction always has an amount. This amount is the amount of money that is moved. In other words, it's the sum of debits (which is equa...

The amount field will show the amount with the currency on the right side of the amount, but with all amounts in a column still aligned. Therefore, it will alwa...

In all views, make sure that amount columns are always wide enough to show the biggest amount in the table. Never make them wider than that either.

Don't forget...

from Eric

Looks good, except I would make variables always date range dependent and account independent. So all our examples stay as they are, except we ditch "...

Ok, so after a little iChat discussion, we agreed that we would stay with the "GUI-all-the-way" way, but in a "variable" fashion. Here's a new proposition:

We w...

Ah, the splits, I was forgetting about it. Well, I think that we should have a special variable that means "balance the rest in here". This way, it is possible ...

Here is something:

What about having a separate "variable definition" window, which wouldn't be tied to a transaction or anything. Then, those variables could b...
