Request for some Enhancements of Gnucash

[Raphaël Maville]

1. HAVE SEVERAL NEUTRAL TOP LEVEL ACCOUNTS
In a GnuCash Window, we can only create top level accounts of a given
type: one of the 5 basis types, given into 12 sub-types (Bank, Cash,
Asset...): it is impossible to create a neutral top level.
But a "neutral" top level account already exists: the gnucash file.

What I would like to have, it is to have several neutral top level
accounts.
Advantages:
- a better structure for them; by example: one tree for your personal
accounts, one tree for your professional accounts, one for your wife or
husband, one for your children;
- they can have the option to be balanced between them or to do not!

By now, of course, this can be done using different files opened in
different gnucash applications, together or one after one: it is harder
to use!

2. OPEN SEVERAL ACCOUNTING FILES TOGETHER
This comes after and with the question 1.
- option to handle several neutral top level accounts together in the
same file, or separated in different files!

3. GIVE AN EXTENSION IN THE FILE NAME OF GNUCASH
Under linux ubuntu and gnome, a click on the gnucash file open it in the
firefox internet explorer, as an XML document! And it is an XML
document!
(And File Roller 2.2.23 do not handle compressed gnucash file: Ok it is
not the problem of the gnucash team, but...)
- it should be better that a click on a gnucash file, compressed or not
opens it in gnucash instead!
- Which extension to give ? for uncompressed: ".cash" ? ".gch" ? for
compressed: ".cgz" ? ".gchz" ?

4. THE FOLDER OF THE GNUCASH FILES LOOK LIKE A TRASH CAN!
When I open the folder of the gnucash files, a lot of files appear in
it!
- What about store all this files in a subfolder beginning with a dot
(point) and the name of the saved file ? Example: all the file for the
file "mygnucashfile" will be store in ".mygnucashfile".

5. GIVE THE ABILITY TO EASY CREATE AND IMPORT REPORTS
- Without knowledge of scheme programming: create the report in another
format (XML ?), translated in scheme by gnucash. Is it possible ?
I hate parenthesis!

6. ENHANCE THE BUSINESS MENU
Over all, the Customers pages... Hard to understand and handle!


Opinion ?


This is probably a lot of questions, a lot of work and a lot of time...
Roma has not been made in one day!
