Comment 1 Roman Eisele 2012-11-22 06:45:32 UTC
Thank you for your report!

IMHO this is a valid and reasonable enhancement request, therefore I set the Status to NEW (= confirmed). Improved some meta data BTW.
Comment 2 bugquestcontri 2012-11-30 07:23:01 UTC
Thanks for your effort and the information that "new = confirmed" 
I observe improvement when reporting bugs on the LibO bug report site.
Comment 3 bugquestcontri 2012-11-30 07:27:06 UTC
Maybe a note could be placed below or above "Optionally attach a document or a screenshot." saying that it would be helpful if screenshots are pasted in a Draw file with explanations to it. 

I recently got that hint from someone (Rainer Bielefeld???) and do since then because it also makes reporting easier.

A good idea -- but it is yet another issue, so it might be helpful if you would file a special bug report/enhancement request for it ;-) Sorry for all the extra work this causes, but this is just how bug wrangling works ...
Comment 5 bugquestcontri 2012-11-30 13:54:57 UTC
Done.. Bug 57736  
Do I get a bottle of champagne when I reach 100????
You guys also earn one.

> Done.. Bug 57736
Thank you! I have just confirmed it ...

> Do I get a bottle of champagne when I reach 100????
If I had one, I would send it to you ;-) But I am a poor volunteer myself, and so are most of us ...

> You guys also earn one.
Thank you ;-)

@ Rob Snelders:

Hi Rob,

IMHO this would be a very valuable enhancement of the BSA; I only fear that it would be not *that* easy to implement it ;-) Can you please take a look at this and check how the chances are of fulfilling this request?

Thank you very much!
Comment 8 bugquestcontri 2012-12-02 07:11:14 UTC
@ Roman: My bottle of champagne was a joke, thanks for willingness to send me one. However I prefer you open it with of the guys who are working on improvements of LibO and everything around. 

Please tell me the secret behind the appreviation "BSA".
Comment 9 Rob Snelders 2012-12-02 09:08:52 UTC
Due to the way we post the bugs in bugzilla we can't attach more then 1 attachment at the moment (the bugzilla create bug-screen also can attach only 1 attachment).

We are going to try to move to the API. Maybe there it is possible. But we will look into that after the move.

BSA means BugzillaAssistant.
Comment 10 bugquestcontri 2012-12-02 13:15:39 UTC
This is a pity but it can't helped.

Realization of the request in Bug 57736 would partially compensate for this matter.
Comment 11 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-02-17 18:45:24 UTC
I prefer to encourage users to create a zipped test kit than to upload a bundle of bad explained single files
Comment 12 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2013-02-17 18:46:38 UTC
Of course we should add some explication in the wiki, linked from BSA

@All:
Hope you can live with such a solution?
Comment 13 bugquestcontri 2013-02-18 03:49:17 UTC
For me OK.
Comment 14 Rob Snelders 2013-06-15 16:37:20 UTC
We have added a link with explenation how to add more files. That will be all for the time being as being able to add more is really difficult.
Comment 15 bugquestcontri 2013-06-19 03:07:11 UTC
Hi Rob, thanks for the improvement. Such a text helps already. 

May I a suggest to add "(zip-file)" after "test kit". Without Rainer's earlier comment at least I would not understand that "test kit" is a zip-file with various files in it.

When I clicked the "advanced information" I reached the wiki page but needed to loggin in again. This stops people from reading the information, thus creating mistakes which means avoidable work. Could it be arranged that the loggin in LibO bug report site allows also to see the wiki?
Comment 16 Rob Snelders 2013-06-19 06:35:08 UTC
I have updated the link to the wiki. You don't have to login (I didn't login and saw the correct page). Please try the link again.

The wording I will look at at a later date.
Comment 17 bugquestcontri 2013-06-20 02:34:48 UTC
Hi Rob - Link works fine. No loggin needed anymore.

Wording -
Comment 18 bugquestcontri 2013-06-20 02:36:57 UTC
 Sorry - it seems I hit the enter key too fast

Wording - Just do when you have time. I appreciate your work because it makes me easier to convince people to migrate to LibO.
Comment 19 Joel Madero 2014-02-27 23:12:04 UTC
In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
Comment 20 Buovjaga 2015-04-21 15:31:28 UTC
Closing as WONTFIX. BSA has gone away and in the (hopefully near) future we will be using BZ's improved guided entry template: http://bugzilla.readthedocs.org/en/latest/integrating/templates.html#particular-templates
