Note that the problem is with width. Note that the Audacity "system
informations" is printed in French.

I carefully went through both (after having just downloaded the current CVS
head):
audacity\src\prefs\PrefsDialog.cpp
audacity\src\prefs\KeyConfigPrefs.cpp
To ensure that none of the things I have played with recently were
inadvertently committed -- they were not.

Recently Gale made some changes to the text. I think that this dialogue
initially sizes itself based on the width of the longest text string; could
this be a translation issue?

If possible, I would like to have the reporter comment out that line so that
the dialog will open without entering the debugger, then, send me a
screenshot of the mouse panel, key binding panel and the directories panel.

Je parle un peut de Francais. (But my spelling and grammar are atrocious.)

No, that is the translation for the web site, not the .po file for the
software. See below.

If the problem is specific to running Audacity in French, using the .mo
file compiled from fr.po, then no, because my string changes have not
yet had a French translation committed.

Using a Unicode Release build from CVS a few days ago on Ubuntu 9.04
(so using the current fr.po file) the longer text seems to wrap round
correctly. The preferences dialogue could in fact still be expanded a
little horizontally to the full 800px width.

Ed, I've sent you the e-mail address of the person privately, so feel free to
contact them off-list for more information (but don't overdo it if he
isn't keen to go to a lot of trouble). :=)



Thanks

After release of "stable" I propose to make the prefs panel user resizable
(restrained only by valid screen size) and the keyboard panel columns
automatically size themselves (I have the code completely finished) just
like the mouse prefs panel is. This will resolve most if not all such
issues. Vaguely related, I gave Gale working code which makes the
Help/About... panel user resizable. (it is a trivial one line change). BTW,
is there a problem or reason why that was never committed (patch attached)?

Please also get Leland's opinion on this before you make the change. I
didn't follow it, but I'm sure there was some reason you can only resize
it a certain range of sizes.

In reply to this post by Ed Musgrove-2
Hi Ed

I have not been following the debate over prefs and resizing.  And we
have issues about non-coders committing patches that could affect
other areas of code.  I see no reason (on my platform), or any
philosophical reason why the 'about' box shouldn't be resizable, and
so I committed it (others may chose to revert).

Just the sort of patch that is distracting us (me) from 2.0.  It
should have gone into a patch-tracker of some sort, commented on by
people who tried it but maybe aren't 'committers', and not come up on
-devel until later.  This isn't a criticism of you or what you've
done, but of the limited system that we have right now.  I'm hoping
that Bugzilla and it's protocols may help with this type of
developer-bandwidth problem.

Bugzilla does not from my admittedly limited knowledge have a patch
tracker. It has a patch viewer (view patches that you have attached
to bugs):
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2.18/html/patchviewer.html

So as far as I can see from the test pages we've had so far, that means
creating a "bug" or some other "object" for the patch, with cases where
the patch actually relates to an already listed bug, and cases where the
object would have to be created specifically for it (as in the above case).

If we finally use Bugzilla, is the above a good idea, or are entries on
a Wiki page better? Those would presumably require the submitter
to actually post a short initial message to -devel (patch attached,
details of what it does on the Wiki).

But maybe protocol would require a short message to -devel anyway,
even in the case of a "patch tracker"?      

Comments?

Is Audacity a professionally developed product? Is it just something that a
few people have thrown together in their spare time? Do we expect Audacity
to be used primarily by those capable of compiling and understanding the
source code, or are the vast majority of users audiophiles who have no
desire nor ability to compile the code? Can the venerable Audacity mentors
who are more focused on major problems accept  the enthusiast coder who
might be more comfortable starting out dealing with the little things?

Any change in the code should be documented. If it is a trivial change made
by a longtime developer a comment with initials and the date next to the
change might be sufficient. Anything which changes the user's experience
should be formally proposed, discussed and the code peer-reviewed with alpha
testing by at least one developer on each major platform.

I think we need a category of bug like "feature request". That way something
sent to @feedback can be triaged by venerable developers into this category
when appropriate. Recognized developers and hackers (like me) may also
propose a "feature request" bug; someone with authorization on the bug list
would need to actually enter it.

We've pretty much agreed as far as I understand it that "enhancements"
tracked in Bugzilla or whatever system we use should only be those
supported by a developer (or more loosely, active contributors to this
list).

User requests sent to feedback@ will continue to be processed on:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Feature_Requests

We can take valuable/strongly voted for items from that page at any time
and turn it into a "developer supported" enhancement.  

The point of my question was whether we want to load a formal bug
tracker with what may be relatively trivial "enhancement" patches by
creating a new item just to hold that patch; or store patches (or links to
them) otherwise.

Obviously if we use Bugzilla we can attach a patch to an actual P1- P5
bug (or if Checklist remains in the short/medium term, a link to the
patch). A patch like that isn't likely to drop out of sight.

I think the problem is more the large number of patches for "enhancements",
some of which may come from someone completely new to the list, so they
couldn't be described as "developer supported" in the sense of the
enhancements I was thinking of storing in the bug tracker (where the case
for them has already been largely agreed).

Hi, Ed. Are you familiar with the concept of trolling? I think so. :-)

"Thrown" is inaccurate, but yes, some professional people did this in
their spare time.

The latter of course. But I don't think they care about the About box
being resizeable either.

Depends on the bandwidth the noob requires.

We don't do it that way. We add CVS comments when we commit, rather than
clutter the code with the whole history of changes. These CVS comments
become part of the history log of that file. There's also the CVS
annotate feature for seeing who did what to what code when.

You may assert that, but doing so will not change the existing culture.
That's not the way we do things. This is a group of volunteers, not a
hierarchical, formalistic organization. We simply don't have the
resources for all that officious procedure. But we do try to approximate
the same results with the resources we have.

A feature request is different from a bug. As Gale pointed out, we have
the wiki page for that.

Re: Patch Tracker WAS Re: Beta_Feedback

In reply to this post by Gale (Audacity Team)
I think what you said is pretty much what I said:
 "enhancement" == "feature request"
"a developer" == " venerable Audacity mentor"
" (or more loosely, active contributors to this list)" ==  "hackers (like
me)"
To get from  http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Feature_Requests
to a "formal enhancement" requires intervention by an Audacity PTB.

As for storing non-committed patches, I do not think it a good idea. Any
patch proposed by ANYONE active on the dev-list should be first attached
(zipped if large) to a dev-list message. This leaves it open for peer review
and automatically stores it online at Source Forge (though the interface is
not good for locating old attachments). Those not on the dev-list should
attach a (zipped--neither .patch nor .txt files are allowed) file to a post
on http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Feature_Requests.

Sorry--was not really "trolling" just trying to get us to think of the

They should be kept somewhere, in case we want to look at them.

That is part of the problem, yes.

That would be a good idea.  How does that work?  I am not very good
editing wikis.

And then there is a third thing.  They are "feature submissions".
That is 'I wanted it to do this so here is a patch to make that so'.

So where do we store that patch so that we can look at it 'sometime'?
(and I consider searching the list archive as 'lost').

[   Ed--   ]
The folks developing wxWidgets are using a patch tracker, here is an
example:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/11372#comment:3

Which is based on an open-source project, Trac:

[   Ed--   ]
No editing of a wiki is involved. This is just a forum (bulletin board) with
a fairly good interface. The messages are threaded, one may subscribe to a
message (get e-mail notification when a message gets a new reply), insert
hyperlinks in your messages (this allows you to embed pictures in your post
which you have stored elsewhere) and attach files (zipped) which other
readers may easily download.

That isn't explicitly a patch tracker. It's a bug tracker, like Bugzilla, which
we're considering now as a replacement for Checklist. You can attach a patch
to a bug, as in that ticket 11372, or not.

If you want to use Bugzilla to track all patches, then every time someone
sends a patch to _devel saying "this is my idea for a new item in the track
dropdown menu" or whatever it is, we have to raise a Bugzilla item for it.
I don't object strongly to that, if these had their own "Unverified
Enhancement" category or similar, but I think it may make more sense not
to clutter a bug tracker with them.

Martyn said "I consider searching the list archive as 'lost' ". I agree - far

Are you talking about the Audacity Forum, Ed?
http://forum.audacityteam.org/

The Wiki Feature Requests page is for user Feature Requests. Let's leave
it like that, I'd suggest. There are no patches linked to there nor likely
to be.  

As regards uploading to the Wiki, only a few image formats are allowed
at the moment. The documentation suggests other formats like .zip, .txt
and .pdf could be added to the image upload system, but I've never tried
it. Do we want to?

I think the easiest thing may be just to have a Wiki page for "enhancement  
patches" and link to the thread where someone posted to -devel with an
attached patch.  That doesn't create extra e-mail. I don't mind doing
the work.

If the patch is for a bug, then it would be attached to the bug in the
bug tracker, or linked to as we've done in the past in the Checklist.

While it's possible to use the Forum, I still think it needs one page to
store the patches, so people know exactly where to go and look for
patches that haven't been dealt with.

I suspect the Wiki is the more obvious place for storage of the links or
patches, just like "Feature Requests" are thrashed out on the Forum and
then eventually added to the Wiki Feature Requests page by Peter and
myself. So if any users do drop patches on the Forum rather than posting
to -devel, the patches could then be moved to the Wiki "enhancement
patches" page.

Maybe we should have two Bugzilla projects--one for bugs and one for
features. I am eager to see how well the Bugzilla interface works for honing
in a bug repair. Rarely is the first patch I submit for testing the be
all/end all!

If we want to store non-committed patches we need some storage and
interface.

Sound good. My biggest problem with the wiki is that it does not make for
easy dialog.

There are innumerable categories on the wiki "Feature Request" page. Maybe
it should be broken down into sub-pages with the main page being only an
index with links (i.e. just the "contents" on the main page).

There is no easy way of telling who voted for what; nor is there an obvious
way to add a vote. I suppose I could "Edit" the page (which I just did as a
test--made the first item 059 votes instead of 59--changed it back too). Who
is to say how many votes are real? There is no real effort to maintain a
status--"Would like to implement", "Will implement", "Unlikely to
implement"--etc.; some of the items on the page are working in 1.3.10--some
of them have notes to that effect, others do not.

Personally I think we are overplaying "features".  We've already got
lots of "developer-supported" ones to choose from, and lots of ideas
for new capabilities which could be part of GSoC (GSoC could also
cover bug-fixing or stabilising what we have now).    

That's not to deny that sometimes, a small patch can provide a good
usability enhancement.

We don't find that too difficult. Each message on the Forum is a bullet
point on the Wiki.

Quite possibly. I've already got a plan to split it down to four or five
categories, one per page, but it's no priority for me to do it at the
moment.

That's how you "vote", yes:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Editing_Feature_Requests#Voting


> Who is to say how many votes are real?

If anyone cheats by adding multiple votes, I change it back.  It works
fairly well, though we could investigate a better voting system longer
term.  We had an experimental one, but it was (or became) broken.

De facto, anything not already adopted as a "developer-supported"  
enhancement is "currently unlikely".

True, but again, priorities. If you would like to volunteer to move
things already in 1.3 versions from Feature Requests to:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Completed_Features

feel free. But it may make more sense to do all that after 2.0, both
because of "priorities", and because a lot of items in "Completed
Features" will then need moving from "In latest Beta" to "In latest
Stable" anyway.
