I don't remember reportbug being that userfriendly, but yeh some graphical tool that can get local data and screenshots etc. would be nice. _But_ as others have said in this thread, if someone wants to do some easy/quick to use tools for BZ the first ones they should be writing are for the developers/packagers. I won't mind getting 666 dups, or dealing with 10x as many bugs in general, as long as I have a decent local tool that can manage that number of bugs. Atm. lots of TABs of open bugs, and giant folders of BZ email are the best tools I've seen. -- James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
