Summary: Add field for changes to default winecfg settings to AppDB test report form Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dimesio@earthlink.net
The AppDB test report form currently does not have a specific field to list changes made to default winecfg settings. Reporters can, of course, use the extra comments section for this, but many forget or don't bother, and even when they do, the information may be buried amongst a number of comments. This causes confusion amongst users (esp. new ones) who expect an app to work well based on a gold rating, but may not realize that it requires some tweaking.
Adding a separate field would remind reporters to include this information, and highlight it for readers. This field could also be used to automatically restrict platinum ratings to the stated definition of "no changes required in winecfg."
