Yes, people should be filing bugs. Or they might be like me -- I had a two hour long conversation with a colleague, and *expected* that the conversation would be logged -- lo and behold, only the last 15 minutes or so of the conversation ended up being logged, and I lost a good deal of valuable conversation.
I wouldn't know where to start troubleshooting this bug, especially since I don't really feel like copying and pasting lines of conversation every few minutes to a text editor because I don't have basic trust in the IM app. It's one thing to have usability flaws, or have video not working, or etc. -- but to not have logging working perfectly in an app that is supposed to be replacing a very mature app? It's horrifying, but it's exactly something that Ubuntu seems to have no problem with. I for one, was testing Empathy, but it's clearly not even close to ready for me, and I will be going back to Pidgin -- I just hope that the other testers will not be equally frustrated, since that will end up making the release even more half baked, since we'll all assume that there are few problems - when in reality, problems aren't being discovered because the app is so immature. It's not as if the app has been in universe for a cycle, and is now being promoted to main and chosen as default -- it was hard to get it going in Jaunty, and it clearly doesn't have a whole lot of exposure to the community. Really though -- basic logging not working -- how many other weird bugs are in there? :( -Asif On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 11:29 AM, Jordan Mantha<laserj...@ubuntu.com> wrote: > Well, people should just be filing bugs.
