Of course not. :-) I don't think you believe that all users have the
same opinion on every feature.
Well, I'm with Bill on this one. The crippled form manager is a major
reason why I'm still hesitating to "upgrade."
And the developers here have told me to shut up or write my own code,
and that's not an option. I'm not a programmer, so I can't solve the
problem.
* That's not the point. Just because someone disagrees with you about a
feature, doesn't mean they're joking.
* Could you please link me to where you were told to shut up? From all
the threads I've read here, the response to complaints about the forms
manager has been:
-- The Form manager in the shared Mozilla codebase is what is there now,
so continuing to use the old for form manager requires coding the is
specific to SeaMonkey.
-- There was not enough resources to code the SeaMonkey form manager in
2.0, but we'd on getting it in the next major release.
-- Help coding it would be appreciated.
1) My synopsis may have been over-dramatic, but that was the gist of
what I heard in this forum. I don't have time to go searching through
months and months of postings to find chapter and verse, sorry. It's
probably not news to you that after a month of bitching and kvetching
from all sides, some developers reached the end of their ropes and
started sounding exasperated.
2, 3) I have been told and I do understand that there are significant
challenges in recreating the Form Manager in the v.2, and I do
understand that this is a volunteer project. But understanding is not
the same as satisfaction. I still want a Form Manager that's as good as
the one in v.1. I'll probably hold my nose and upgrade soon, but I won't
be a happy camper for reasons pointed out elsewhere in this thread --
it's a real PITA to fill in a complex form one... field... at... a... time.
4) Wish I could help. Can't, sorry.
