Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=140402529507720 Hi guys, There seems to be more than one place in KDE SC where some kind of bug reporting is offered. 1. You can log in to bugs.kde.org and click "File a Bug". 2. If an application crashes, Dr Konqi runs and takes you through a crash-reporting dialog, which then posts a report to BKO. 3. You can use menu Help->Report Bug=85 which summons up a browser, connects to BKO and continues essentially as in 1. 4. If browsing is unavailable, Help->Report Bug=85 has an alternative dialo= g. The source code for 2. is in kde/kde-runtime/drkonqi and for 3. and 4. it is in kde/kdelibs/kdeui/dialogs/kbugreport.*. Also Dr Konqi uses a module called bugzillalib and there seems to be another bugzillalib in Plasma. Are there plans to rationalise and unify bug reporting in KF 5? I am trying to debug KDE 4 bug-reporting on Apple OS X and at present, only item 1. above is working. Item 2. should work, but it offers only Konqueror as a browser and Konqueror is not working too well on Apple OS X. I am asking because I am wondering where to concentrate my efforts Will more of the network part of bug-reporting be handled by Qt 5 in future KDE software? For example, the Dr Konqi dialog has some links to things, using Qt's Rich Text Format, such as a link to create an account on BKO. If I click on one of those links, I go straight to a page of BKO, using the browser I have chosen to use in Apple OS X (in my case Firefox) - no need to configure it in KDE, even if I could get that to work in Apple OS X. I guess Qt4-Mac is able to ask Apple OS X what browser I use and connect to it in a portable way. Ideas anyone?
