Summary: User friendly way to delete comments Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: kennybobs@o2.co.uk
Although this has been improved, deleting comments is still a long, painful, laborious task.
Adobe Photoshop CS4, just as one example, has a load of comments. The majority of these are pointless and should be removed. The problem being it would take at least an hour to do so.
The current method is: 1. Select a thread to delete. 2. Enter (or paste) a reason. 3. Press delete. 4. Wait for the page (and all the comments) to load again. 5. Go to Step 1. If any comments are worth keeping, you have to be careful not to delete them. In apps like photoshop, this can create a LOT of emails too (I've just remove a load of comments from CS3 and received over a hundred emails).
A nice method might be: 1. Select "Edit Comments". 2. Tick the stale comments to remove. 3. Enter a generic reason. 4. Hit delete. 5. Job's a good un. Maybe this could then be reduced to one email per person too?
