Bug#601753: please remove silly nag screen
Hi, it is not necessary to change source code to not have the greetings, looking at the source code you can easily understand the modification to do in the .boumlrc to not have it, and starting Bouml through a script modifying .boumlrc then starting Bouml ... furthermore this discussion is out of date because in the 4.23 delivered November 6th I don't ask for donation (because I stopped to work on Bouml) and the greetings can be closed immediately without waiting for 5 long seconds it seems I was very stupid to give more than 5 seconds of my life to work on Bouml (I worked on it 8 years !) disabused, Bruno Pagès -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

How come you see the > screen every time? I was just pointing out that the initial poster was not entirely wrong in claiming that the greeting screen was displayed every time you run bouml, that can happen. And even if displayed once every thirty times you load a project, being forced to wait is quite annoying, and I'm pretty sure it accomplishes the opposite of its intended goal: some people may make a donation if asked nicely, and reminding them about it from time to time (in a non-intrusive manner) probably increases the chance to get a donation; but getting in the way of their work and forcing them to stare at the dialog for five seconds... I think it will get most people annoyed and not inclined to make a donation (and what about the users who did just make a donation, and still get the reminder every now and then). This is just my two cents, but it seems to me that the change I proposed would benefit both the users and the main developer of bouml.

I don't get it. If you open an existing project, or if you create a new one, the next time you run bouml no greeting screen is displayed. Hence my question is: what is your bouml use case? How come you see the screen every time? Regards, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

thanks
Hi,
I just installed bouml and tested this:
- Run bouml;
- Click OK on the greeting dialog;
- Close bouml;
- Repeat.
I get the greeting dialog every time, probably because I'm not loading
any project, and I have to admit it's rather irritating.
I can understand the motivation (although I much prefer when asked for a
donation in the Help->About screen, and would be more inclined to donate
in that case), but forcing the user to wait 5 seconds or so every time
(or even every thirty time) is I think too constraining (reminds me of
unskipable trailers/advertisement on commercial DVDs, that only make
illegal downloading a more attractive alternative).
How about, as a compromise, keeping the greeting dialog but removing the
mandatory waiting period?
Here's a patch that implements just that.
Cheers,

Hi, Robert Lemmen is wrong, the "greetings" dialog is displayed *once in thirty* you load a project, not each time. For teh rest if Robert Lemmen consider that childish and silly I encourage him to use an other tool !
