Description Jared 2006-11-28 19:09:32 UTC 
I am aware of the methods such as http://edseek.com/archives/2005/08/18/gnucash-export-to-gnumeric-and-csv/

though none of these are a part of the core of the program.  It would be quite useful to have this capability as a menu item.

So far none of the developers was working on this feature. I doubt this will change soon, though.

I would also like to vote for this.  having CSV output would be wonderful.  especially if Excel can read it too.  I think that means using cr+lf.  what good is an accounting system if you can't export anything to your accountant or CPA in a format that they can use?  If you can do XLS, that is probably fine too.  I don't think a CPA is going to have gnumeric.  make it useful. please.

Thank you for taking the time to explain your enhancement request.

The described enhancement is a good proposal and would be an advantage for the software. However, as a volunteer-driven project with limited resources, the GnuCash developers have to set priorities on which features are most likely being worked on in the near future. In that sense, the current GnuCash developers decided not to work on your proposed feature in the next 4-6 months. In case you would like to have this feature implemented in any case, you have the following option: 1. Start to program in gnucash yourself - see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Development . 2. Convince someone who is not yet part of the GnuCash team to join the team and implement your feature. 3. Pay some of the GnuCash developers to implement your feature - ask on the mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org in that case. Thank you very much.

Feel free to file other bugs or enhancement requests that you find, though.
