Dear Rich
I thougth I would file a bug report here so you have to copy it to the
bug report database. Hope this helps fill the empty days you must be
having with a new version and an OS change to deal with.
My list seems to work erratically now. I am used to fairly responsible
users who read the release notes for new releases, download the new
version after due consideration or even - god help us - download a demo
to check that their vital workflows are not broken, and try out the new
version in a 'sandboxed' way for a couple of weeks. They then carefully
explain the issue, ask for help with workarounds and/or file a bug
report when they have a useful and constructive account to give of the
specifics.
Instead I keep seeing stuff like "why couldn't 10 be identical to 9 in
every respect except the two I just thought of?" and "when is the Palm
version coming out?"
Not all of them are like that of course. You managed to get some of the
code right there, well done!
But while I'm here, I do have a helpful suggestion for next time you
release an update. As an amateur software user, who doesn't need to read
manuals and stuff, for academia rather than a businessman and/or
codemaster, I am probably in a good position to do so. Could you please
make a point of identifying which change in version 11, when it comes,
will affect my particular circumstances and put it at the top of the
list please, in big neon letters? Not too bright, I'll get a migraine as
the psychic plug-in will have told you already. And (excuse my
bluntness) get the price right! Because it needs to be quite a high
price but also a low price. I'm afraid you fell down there but better
luck next time!
In the meantime I'm reverting to version 4 as I kind of understood all
the functions. I think. It doesn't seem to run under Lion so I'll file a
separate bug report about that, please look out for it and prioritise
the fix as I'm quite busy.
[ok, folks, I'm WELL out of order here, I admit it. Don't take it too
personally, the list has become a blur but...but...some of these
messages...really? REALLY?! Every time Rich has to answer an
inflammatory or badly thougt out question -- that's YOU saving time* --
we lose it in real bug fixes or new Cocoa bits and pieces. Really.
There's a direct link. Honest.]
*We DONT CARE about your time, that 2 seconds you saved being hasty and
dashing off a badly written message that did more to annoy than solve
anything... We care about Rich's time. A minute of his time fixing code
is for all of us. Get over it. There's also no real need to piss him off
and waste his energy.
