[Bug 19671] New: Add a 'comments' field to the 'bugs' table of an application instance
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19671 Summary: Add a 'comments' field to the 'bugs' table of an application instance Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: hughperkins(a)gmail.com Add a 'comments' field to the 'bugs' table of an application instance Currently there is a list of bugs attached to an application instance, but the titles are often not very meaningful to end users who might read them. It might be useful to have a 'comment's column added to the bugs table where one could write down what the bug means for the end user. For example, looking at Total Annihilation http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7306 , we have two bugs that could benefit from this. Currently we see for example: Bug: 4066 Description: Online Play Doesn't Work (DirectPlay) Bug: 9159 Description: ProgMan DDE interface is not implemented in Wine's shell32/explorer In these examples, the first bug, 4066, makes it look like online play is not possible, which is actually not the case. The second bug doesn't really tell an end user anything about what this means for them. It might be useful for end users to be able to add a 'what this means for you' description, such as: Bug: 4066 Description: Online Play Doesn't Work (DirectPlay) What this means for you: You'll need to install the native directplay dlls as an override, see http://wiki.winehq.org/DirectPlayGames Bug: 9159 Description: ProgMan DDE interface is not implemented in Wine's shell32/explorer What this means for you: The shortcuts won't be installed when you run the installer, so you'll either need to launch the application from the commandline, or create your own .desktop shortcuts. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

What I wanted to write was something like "It might be useful for end users if the application maintainer could add ...". -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Bug summary comes directly from bugzilla, adding extra description to that is really unnecessary. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
