[Bug 23682] New: Suggestion: Editbox with terminal output in crash window
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23682 Summary: Suggestion: Editbox with terminal output in crash window Product: Wine Version: 1.2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: VincentBeers(a)gmail.com This is a feature request, not a bug. Wine has an utterly useless "the application has crashed" window, or at least, it had for a while, I don't know if that has changed. Anyway, I think said window should have an unfoldable edit box containing all the terminal output of the application up to its crash, and a button to copy the content in this edit box. Finally, the crash description should indicate that you should copy that text and bring it to the Wine forums in order to get help/troubleshooting. Why? Because it makes giving feedback on Wine apps a lot quicker. A lot of us do actually run Wine apps from the terminal, but most newbies don't, and this is a way to assist them helping the Wine devs know about the problem a lot more quickly than the usual routine, which is: - Make a forum thread about how the app doesn't work, with little to no further info; - Have someone tell you to run in terminal; - Possibly learn to use the terminal, then run the app from there; - (At this point, a day may have passed) Run back to the forums with actual terminal output. Adding the text box with the terminal output straight into the "application crashed" window not only makes the window actually useful, but it also eliminates the delay that exists because new users may have to be assisted in actually running the app from terminal. Further notes: of course, from that point, the user may be advised as to how to run the app from terminal anyway, but at least for this time, or for any time when they just want to double-click an app to run, they'll get the actual log much more quickly. -- 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.

Though that isn't exactly necessary, it's more like the Windows crash windows (or more specifically their Visual Studio debug/error windows). -- 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.

Unfortunately, if Wine is not running in a terminal, then all its terminal output will be lost, and can't be resurrected. It should be possible to get the backtrace, though. -- 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.

Please follow the FAQ.
What am I looking for in the FAQ? I know how to get a log myself if that's what you're saying; this is supposed to be an enhancement. Or are feature requests not supposed to go in bugzilla? -- 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.

This kind of request is not going to be implemented. Getting a log as described in the FAQ is enough. -- 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.
