I’ve thought about this for a while, my main thoughts are inline with @Beatrix_Willius and @anon20074439
Over the last 6 or so years, I’ve slowed down reporting issues and feature requests not just to Xojo, but to other companies as well.
Xojo appears to have put more attention on my issues recently, as they did notify me that they’ve completed 4 of my cases with 2021r3 (which is way better than Apple, and with a significantly less operational budget).
I find the whole Xojo 2.0 thing to be very frustrating (as Xojo staff know). Re-writing things because the Xojo language and controls were simplified for others, doesn’t bring joy, and reduces my enthusiasm.
I am in two minds about the whole bug reporting system, as I feel that the current system does not work well for those of us who’ve used the product for long time, with issues that affect only a couple of customers. I understand there needs to be triage, so I don’t know what the best solution is.
<Sigh/> I don’t get to spend as much time as I like in front of the computer at the moment (due to other obligations), I already have to work around whatever crappy issues that Apple throws in my face, replace massive chunks of the Ohanaware App Kit due to Xojo 2.0, that I’ll probably not invest much of my time into verification of outstanding issues.
I think the whole process would go easier if I could just give Xojo a handful of Important case numbers (things that I can’t workaround, or things that I feel a little elbow grease from Xojo would make it a much better product), and then flush the rest down the toilet. Sure some useful things would be lost, but I feel that is a better compromise than for me to spend hours or days going through all my open cases.
