Hi Dennis, Peter & Michael,
though this may be a risky walk, the Bugs Forum [forum.mysnip.de] is a means to keep known bugs in public memory.
I'm not going to wage war on PC Soft Tech Support or on the crew of developers, they're doing the best they can. I rather want to help in getting things done. Some pressure is necessary in order to move focus a bit, definitely. Dealing out a reference number and forgetting that there is a guy out there eagerly waiting for a solution is simply not good enough. However, most of us make their living with WX products and so does the staff of PC Soft - thus we share a common interest.
Numbers of non-French speaking developers are increasing steadily. Each year my PC Soft related turnover goes up by more than 100% and that's something. So, I can assure you that this is a growing business. PC Soft does a lot of things right, otherwise we and they couldn't enjoy this growth. However, I suspect that there are simply not enough knowledgeable programmers available to hire in order to get all of the jobs done at the same time. In short: developing new versions / products, fixing bugs, supporting the community.
On the other hand we should be able to communicate to PC Soft that we do not need a whopping 500 new features in each and every new release but would happily trade in some of the new features against a good fix of some of the old bugs.
So, for the time being, I'd opt for showing the bugs in the Bug Forum [forum.mysnip.de] . The purpose is twofold. We show the necessary fixes in public - no hiding possible, this is an independant forum. And we can keep other developers from trying hard and wasting their precious time. If a bug has been fixed, I'll happily delete the entry in the Bug Forum in order to keep a clean list of real issues.
Kind regards,
Guenter
