the two steps above can be done much more quickly through the "Aging"
reports. If you run a vendor or customer aging report (check the
options to show accounts with zero amounts) you will get links in the
report that take you directly to the customer or vendor report showing
all the invoices. then click on the invoice you want. very fast and
easy.

as I said in the other thread, gnucash doesn't apply payments to
specific invoices, but instead applies them to the account as a
whole. THe "paid" status of the invoices is purely a function of the
amount paid and the invoices age in the list.

if you have a coherent, specific feature request, you could file an
enhancement bug at bugzilla.gnome.org under product gnucash.
