I'm sure your use case is valid if not common. If it was common, you wouldn't be the first to complain. >> I think that you would have a more positive response if you would have >> used the bug tracker, and submitted this as a bug. > > submitting this pledge for enhancement as a bug would be barking, > from my point of view. i really don't understand your viewpoint!? > > however, i refuse (bark) to use bugzilla because it still doesn't let > one at least close an account. Too bad, as that's how 'requests for enhancement' work in many open source projects. You open a bug where you describe the functionality you find missing and set the severity to enhancement. > all the bugzillas in the world still > hold old accounts under my name but with old and dead email addresses > and still sensitive personal data of mine. i don't even have the > passwords anymore to at least delete the sensitive data. this 'intend' > of the bugzilla developers was already harshly discussed (because it is > stealing the freedom from the account owner) but without concrete > result. this is why i never use bugzilla if there is a mailinglist > available. and if not, i most probably don't write at all. > freedesktop.org, for example, makes a difference because of the many > projects for which there is only one account needed and most possibly > valuable in future. Getting a new password (or changing the email address I presume) is as simple as sending an email to the admin. > cudos to all Thuar developers. you are great - but sometimes a bit too > sensitive, i think. AFAIK Cory is not a Thunar developer (and neither am I). I do agree that the tone of your original mail probably didn't encourage anyone to start coding. There's simply no way someone would want to do you a favor by fixing your personal pet peeve if your only argument is that the software is 'half-baked' if they don't. But maybe you don't see the problem because of a language barrier or something... > best wishes, > dennis heuer - Jari _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
