--- Comment #2 from MrMorals <kdeb...@woutermoraal.nl> --- Thanks for picking it up emohr :) The reason why I created the issue is that I believe that often times usability issues can have similarly disruptive consequences for the use of an application as a bug. I did spend several hours trying to find out how to rescale. It is of course up to you or the programmer who decides to pick this up to decide on its priority. I just hope that its priority will related to the amount of normal users affected and the severity, the loss of time and irritation. May I suggest to perhaps create a list similar to bugs called something like 'design issues', which could of course also have a wish list for issues that do not have a large effect on the normal user population or potential attraction of new users? Explanatory note: I recently thought about the classic focus on 'bugs' and lack of focus on usability, expecially in open source projects. 'Bugs' could be defined as unexpected and irritating behaviours of the application, unexpected at least for the programmer and most times also for the user. 'Usability issues' could be defined as behaviours expected to the programmer but not expected, irritating and/or time consuming for the user. When one would take a user centric view to developing and maintaining an application, then prioritisation of bugs over design issues by definition does not really make sense. I am thinking about this, because I would so much like to see more everyday users attracted to open source software. And I also see hurdles in collection and handling of user feedback which I think are detrimental to attaining this goal of use by the masses. Anyways, keep up the good work :D Cheers, Wouter -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
