[Suggestion] Bring "bug reports" under the same roof

Paying for support when you're making profitable proprietary apps that require commercial support (hidden, NDA-style attachments)? Crazy!

If you need greater support, you should pay for it. That's a good business model for free software.

So, basically that feature of bug reports does exist.

I guess above all I think any good developer has to be lazy... We are so lazy that we try to find smart ways of doing repetitive things so we only have to do once!

Jokes apart ... I do believe that nokia, qt and the developer community will benefit of anything that makes "more" of the information concentrated in one place.

My conclusion is that probably what I am looking for is a "developer portal" for nokia (qt, maemo, meego, forum nokia, bugs, symbian, ...). If nothing else it should allow me to search on all the web sites at once. I think it would be a great tool....

Last week we made and purchased a Google custom search engine with the following sites included in the search pool:

labs.qt.nokia.com/* Qt Labs Blog
developer.qt.nokia.com/* Qt Developer Network
qt.nokia.com/* qt.nokia.com
lists.trolltech.com/* Qt Mailing Lists
qtcentre.org/* Qt Center (Forum)
forum.nokia.com/* Forum Nokia

The thinking is along your lines, to provide a singe search that would cover key sites. And with "refinements" like you see on this site, where you get tabs (Wiki, Forum) for various sections.

Google changed their pricing from "pages indexed" to "# of queries" not long a go, and this made it possible.

We are not sure where to promote it yet - ideas welcome :)

marius under forum section, can you further create subsections for the various sub forums (quick, tools, desktop etc) ... that would be even more useful

We can, yes, I'll add it to the list. We can test it "live" and gather feedback.

thanks, and
suggest2: likewise subsections under new posts.. under heavy loads didn't know which thread to start from
suggest3: under threads I've subscribed to
suggest4: threads posted by me

basically any search :P

Not sure I understand you right, can you elaborate?

ok at one point last weekend, I had like 3 pages of results under "New posts" ... can some categorization happen there based on various forums (again desktop, quick, tools etc)

or if I go my profile and try to dig through the 1061 posts I've done, easier for me to narrow down if they were pushed into categories

just a thought .. what do you think? would it be a helpful feature?

Ah, now I understand. I'll have a look and see if the forum software supports that out of the box, or if surgery is needed.

It would be very cool if we could use the labels as search criteria... kind of what you do with gmail using "label:mylabel" ... it could be just "tag:quick" ... Is it possible?
