~suv: I haven't forgotten about your reply, I didn't have time to
think about it.
question about _filetypes_: should we use the file extensions as tags
or
delete them in general and only keep an agreed-upon subset of major ones
like 'pdf' and 'eps' ('ps')? At the moment I'd favour to
always add them
as separate tag when relevant.
I think we should use the major ones. But then there are tags like
'javafx' (1 bug only), what to do with those??. There was 'cdr' too
(it is part of UniConvertor, not Inkscape). Let's leave UniConvertor
formats (like cdr) to the tag 'uniconvertor'. The problem that might
happen is when a bug is not in uniconvertor but in the extension that
manages it. In that case we could use tags 'extensions-plugins' (or
'import-export'/'exporting'/'importing', see next point).
question about importing/exporting/import-export and
_extensions/plugins_: many of the import-export bug reports are related
to (python) extensions or their helper applications - how to tag these
bugs? Always add both im/ex and ext-pl plus the filetype?
I always use 'extensions-plugins' for bugs related to the Extensions
menu only. I see your point since some file filters are based on
python proxy scripts. Which is better?:
* Use 'extensions-plugins' only for Extensions; index reports with a
tag related to the file format: pdf, eps, emf, uniconvertor...
accompanied by 'import-export', 'exporting' or 'importing'.
* Use 'extensions-plugins' for both Extensions and import/export
formats based on scripts.
I'm unsure. It seems clearer to me to use the first method.
[ Background of above questions: there have recently been several
(?)
bug reports about importing failures (cdr, 0.47pre) that are really
_UniConverter_ bugs. On windows, UniConverter is part of the Inkscape
package - who is now responsible for handling the bug reports? How to
tag them? ]
See above.
I see you started using the tag renderer. I will make some searches
and add to that category.
Regards.
