They are in my opinion also the same bug. Probably would have been better to have added your proposal to #321567. Just suggest your user interface improvement in that bug.
OK, should I make a new comment to that bug regarding the interface, even though my bug has been marked as a duplicate?
Also do not put everything in one bug report. Using a different backend should be another bug report.
I didn't write about using a different backend in that bug. It only concerned the user interface...
Furthermore it really helps if you already come with the patch. People file zillions of requests and ideas. Maintainers and developers usually don't go through bugzilla for looking what feature to implement next. They usually implement what they find important or nice to do.I never asked the maintainer to implement it. In fact, I said I would be happy to work on it myself. What I asked for was directions/advice/etc. I wanted to start a discussion about it, because I'm unsure how to approach the problem.Sorry, I meant to say that if you submit a small patch with a small improvement it is easier attention of the maintainer (they are usually very busy and receive loads of bugmail). If you start submitting patches maintainers start to know you and because of that it is also easier to get directions/advice.
Yes, I understand. Btw, if I change the glade interface of a program, should I submit a patch to the original glade file, or should I submit the complete glade interface? -- Johannes H. Jensen <joh deworks net> deworks
