Hi Caemyr!
I am quite worried you didnt notice my mental status before, as I have been around for almost 3 years now. I am trying to get over this small handicap.
Meanwhile, maybe you can begin looking yourself, reflect on your overreacted email and apologize.
I am pretty easy to find on IRC so sending this kind of email is just unnecessary spam to a list that has not been created for this kind of stuff.
Do you know that premise about "Talk and Share in Private before moving to Public". If not, please, learn about it.I am sure it'll help in your real life too and it is really needed when working in a project with other mates.
Now let me reply your suggestions/opinions:
>Bugzilla is crowded with untouched bugs for so long, and you HAVE to add more crud to it?
I'll ignore the "crud" word in this sentence(as I'll talk about the report you pointed later). Do you mean you prefer not sending bugreports to Bugzilla?
Of course I can ignore bugs when testing and not reporting to Bugzilla, but THE Tester work is reporting anything wrong. So I'll keep sending bugreports even if they get totally ignored.
>Bugs like no.6214, very usefull as we can see below:
>"1)Download ClickToDesktop
>2)Run in ReactOS
>3)Click on the desktop to hide. It doesn't work. Apps just lost the focus.
>Nothing appears in the DebugLog."
Could you quote my WHOLE bugreport and not just a "piece of it"? http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6214
You will see not just the replication method but also: the ReactOS revision tested, a link to download the app, the Source code of the App and information about How it works.
No, I am not going to make easy jokes about visual impairment because these guys have all my respect:
"r51583
ClickToDesktop:
http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/ClickToDesktop/ClickToDesktop.exe
Click on the desktop to hide all windows,
Features:
- Or click at the middle part of the top of the screen.
- Click again to unhide.
SourceCode:
http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/ClickToDesktop/ClickToDesktop.ahk
1)Download ClickToDesktop
2)Run in ReactOS
3)Click on the desktop to hide. It doesn't work. Apps just lost the focus.
Nothing appears in the DebugLog."
And now we can talk about "how bad the bugreport is" or in your words "crud report" because not following the Wiki way of reporting it:
(Paragraph extracted from our Wiki)
>Reproduction method using step by step instructions.
DONE
>Hardware or virtual machine configuration.
DONE
>Tested ReactOS version (verify also that it does happen on nightly builds)
DONE
>The version of the application tested (if any) and a download link (URL).
DONE
>Screenshot of the problem if it's a graphical bug (add the attachment in Bugzilla).
It is not a graphical bug. DONE
>Debug log for crashes, freezes and application errors. See Debugging to see how to obtain a high quality debug output.
There is nothing in the DEBUG LOG. Nothing as NO NEW LINE in putty after launching the app. DONE.
>Choose a concise bug title.
DONE
>Do not post more than one issue in a single bug report.
DONE
Plus I have added a link to the SourceCode of the app. So, Caemyr, may you tell me which guideline/s I am not following?
Again, even if my bugreport is not good enough(I am open to criticism and Dev pointing me to add any useful debugchannels to obtain extra debugging), there are ways to tell it. And no, you don't know how to tell things. I am pretty offended by the way you said it, not by the content. Don't use ReactOS to help you in your personal attacks.
PD: Considering I am Spanish, that my blood is much hotter than any European around, I has been quite polite.
