That was completely uncalled for and even completely unjustifiable. Why, your own response is more like that of "a petulant child" than any thing DonFrench said.
After all Don French gave an excellent list of reasons why it is better to view DDMS LogCat output in Eclipse rather than running it standalone. What is more, he showed very much the opposite of the petulance you so unfairly accuse him of by patiently detailing all these advantages of viewing in Eclipse. Real software professionals recognize your "fix it yourself" as the real petulance, since real software engineers understand that such bugs should be fixed by the person(s) most familiar with that part of the code. "Code diving" is all too often a terrible waste of a good engineer's time. Worse yet, it often causes other bugs down the road, because the 'diver' did not understand the code well enough. This is WHY it should be fixed by the person(s) most familiar with the relevant code, not by anyone who feels the need for the fix. Personally, I hope Google's team will find the time to fix it relatively soon, but I am not going to sweat it if they don't. But I will join Don in saying that it would be a valuable fix, it is likely being given too low a priority -- as often happens even in the best- run projects. Finally, if the Google team does recognize this as a bug, how do we find it in the bug database? Some of us would like to vote for it;) On Jun 23, 6:08 pm, Mikey <frak....@gmail.com> wrote: > Spoken like a petulant child - fix it yourself if you think you can do > better... > > On 24 Jun 2010, at 01:06, DonFrench wrote:> Thanks but I really prefer to > view LogCat in Eclipse because it is so > > much easier to find what you want.
