Package: blogtk Version: 1.0-1.1 Severity: normal The account user interface for blogtk is quite hard to get started with. There are a number of issues:
- There is no indication provided as to what would be a suitable URI to supply. It appears that the URI of the XML RPC server is required rather than something like the root of the blog itself. - It is not possible to check that the settings are valid from within the account selection dialog. - When an attempt to connect to the server from the file menu fails the only indication of error is a message in the bar at the bottom of the window saying that "an error occurred". It would be useful if this error message were both more obvious and more verbose about what the error was (for example, indiciating if it was a 404, a permission denied message or similar). An interface more like that for the gnome-blog panel applet might work better: it explicitly says it wants the XML RPC address and provides a mechanism for attempting to connect to the server as part of the dialog (by virtue of having a "lookup blogs" option). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages blogtk depends on: ii python 2.3.5-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-glade2 2.6.1-2 GTK+ bindings: Glade support ii python-gnome2 2.6.1-1 Python bindings for the GNOME desk ii python-gtk2 2.6.1-2 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
