No. I didn't mention developers anywhere. I suggest some marketing or support person to do something like this. If a developer wants to do it, then fine. I am a developer...why should *I* have to spend time cutting and pasting from email lists into a bug report? In the more general case, why should customers *have to* file bug reports/feature requests? It does require time and effort...and it all adds up. Alternatively, if you only have a single issue, you then have a big overhead to sign up/etc/etc just to file the single issue - a significant demotivator to doing so, IMO. Sure, I should have the option, but it is more in Qt's interest to make sure these things get recorded rather than lost. > > Give me some time to think about it. You have all the time in the world, since I'm not spending any more time on this. An email is easy...and I considered filing an issue as suggested, but decided not to. Do you really want the issue to disappear just because customers decide that their time is better spend elsewhere? Anyway, I've now spent enough time on *this* issue and have to do real work.
