Package: reportbug Version: 4.12.6 Severity: wishlist Ahoy,
I usually report more that one bug at a time. I may have a short list of bugs, or I may have found something interesting in the bugs list, added more info to that report, and now would like to proceed to report the bug I had in mind before that. For these situations, it would be nice if the last screen (the one with the confusing Cancel-Apply buttons and the badly wrapped text) had a button allowing one to start a new report. To generalize that request, it could be a good idea to add a button (say on the bottom left of the GTK UI, so that it’s not mixed with the Cancel/Continue buttons that apply to the current report) that can launch a new window (or tab, but that’s another request I opened) at any time. The net benefit is that people could launch the program and do more than one report or reply without having to launch it again. One obvious drawback of this idea is that one crash would make you lose more that one report. Possible workarounds: launch a new process instead of a new window in the same process; auto-save reports in progress in $TMP; fix the damn GTK float bug <wink>. sneaking-bug-reports-in-parens-ly yours -- Package-specific info: ** Environment settings: EDITOR="vim" DEBEMAIL="[email protected]" DEBFULLNAME="Éric Araujo" INTERFACE="gtk2" ** /home/wok/.reportbugrc: reportbug_version "3.48" mode standard ui gtk2 realname "Éric Araujo" email "[email protected]" smtphost "smtp.orange.fr" bts debian check-available -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages reportbug depends on: ii apt 0.8.10.3 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze5 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-reportbug 4.12.6 Python modules for interacting wit reportbug recommends no packages.
