Darren, where are you getting this impression from? I've just re-read the entire thread about your patch, and all I see are questions about whether there might be an even better way to solve the problem, and whether you have some data backing up your assertion about what "most users want". This is not a rejection of your patch, it's just the kind of scrutiny every new feature gets. > what i have tried to introduce today is a feature that is a staple part of > a > browser, fast no-frills access to a users bookmarks. as this was met > with critisism from the start, i tried the harder in order to win > favour for compleating the feature. which was then met with "why > should we add it when we dont know if people want it, and it might > mess up our image", which i have taken the liberty of translating "we > dont want to be anything like the other browsers at the detrement of > our own browsers usability". I think you are misreading the feedback people have been giving. > the least i expected was for the feature i had taken the time to > create to be considered, rather than instantly dismissed. It hasn't been instantly dismissed--a number of people (such as Ben) are just asking if there are better ways to do it. While getting huffy, talking about pictures of hitler, and threatening to give up if your patch isn't accepted is not the best way to engage people in discussion, you've made a very good start by actually implementing your idea. This already puts you way ahead of people who have an idea that they think *other* people should implement :-). Many great features start as "this is bugging me, so I'll go fix it", even if the end result doesn't always match the initial idea. As with most open source projects, not every patch is accepted immediately, and some may require many iterations. Chrome's UI is intentionally minimal, so changes that affect the UI will by their nature prompt more discussion than ones that are just behind-the-scenes bug fixes. "Let's talk about this and make sure it's really the way we should be solving this problem" is actually a good sign, not a rejection. --Amanda --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-dev" group.
