Nila -- About posting bugs vs ideas
« on: November 16, 2002, 04:19:08 am »

Nila,
I noticed you asked for feedback in one of your threads.  This is it.  

You can save us a lot of time and you can increase the chances we'll add a feature you suggest if you can separate them.  Don't post ideas in the bug thread unless they can be said in half a sentence.

Also, it will make us HUGELY more helpful, if you will leave out the remarks...  Take a look at Remy's lists or Doofs or Michels or Dragyns or several others.  They keep the lists and update them.  They are concise and very targeted.  Those are the lists we work best from.

Here is your latest post "before and after" editing.

-------------Before-----------
Just noticed the feature for recurse etc down the bottom.

Nice feature. Would it be possible to set 'recurse' as a right click option too for tree's so we can have it set to just that one tree but then optionally quickly recurse a directory if we want.

Also, can we set how many levels it recurses. Right now this is locking MJ when it tries to recurse through the whole computer I'm guessing.


Also, tryin to get this stupid TV Card of mine that's never really worked that great since day one to work again. Went to 'Scan for Channels' and was HUGELY upset to not see the UK listed even though every other country under the sun was.


Another thing, when MJ's busy doing something, like when it's recursing through dir's. MJ Doesn't redraw itself and so looks like it's crashing.

I've been playing with Dr Tag a bit and notice that when it's recursing I can still do other things and it doesn't effect it at all or make it seem like it's going to crash. I'm not sure how they implement it but it just gives the program a more overall feeling of stability. Any chance of doing this in MJ?

-------------After------------
Problems

1.  I think "recurse" is locking when MJ tries to recurse through the whole computer.   When MJ's busy recursing through dir's, MJ doesn't redraw itself and so looks like it's crashing.

2.  TV Card -- UK is not listed among countries.

---------------------

We appreciate your enthusiasm and your creative ideas.  I don't want to stop them.

Thanks,

Jim

Just to make it clear, Michel.  Long remarks, even off topic are welcome on Interact.  I'm one of the worst at this, I know.

But when posting in the bug thread, it helps if the post is precise and brief.

Short posts with concise points and no waffling, that sounds like a pretty hardcore task for someone who waffles as much as me. Anyway, I guess if I put my mind to it and try really hard I might be able to....

Only joking!

1. Got the msg.
2. Will Try
3. Glad u like my feedback and ideas!
