*** Reporting a bug: HowTo and Template ***

Post by xnview »

For resolving a bug or problem, a software developer must be able to reproduce and analyse the bug, first. A complete and precise bug report helps to understand and reproduce a problem easily and reduces questions and effort on both developer and user side.

Please help us to handle and solve the problem you experience:
  • Below please find a template bug report. Please copy and use this bug report template when reporting a bug.
  • Please start a new topic for each bug report. This will make answering and handling your problems easier.
  • The sample bug report gives you an idea how to fill out the template.
  • Bugs are bugs. And suggestions are suggestions. Please post suggestions in MP - Suggestions.
  • Please make sure that you use the latest release of XnView MP. Currently this is XnView MP 0.84.
  • If you aren't sure that you really found a bug, please post in "MP - General Support".
We use this XnView forum for reporting and tracking bugs:
For each status of a bug there is a sub-forum and your bug report will "wander" through these sub-forums.
You'll find all your posted topics and bugs in Image User Control Panel » Show your posts.

Thank you in advance for your help in improving XnView!

Pierre

Hi there, can you please confirm which order to put "Description" and "Effect" because you have them different for the template and the example? Thanks :D

Important is that information is provided - order of information is not that important. Template and example match, now.
