not a bug Well, it may be considered a documentation bug. In any case: please document it. well, what do you think 'run on select' could do with a name like that? Could it possibly run the filter when you select it from the dropdown list, as opposed to pressing Enter to run the selected rule? besides, a 'documentation bug' is surely documentation which is wrong and not missing documentation, wouldn't you say? > well, what do you think 'run on select' could do with a name like that? If I knew, I wouldn't look for documentation :) > Could it possibly run the filter when you select it from the dropdown list, as opposed to pressing Enter to run the selected rule? It could also mean "run the filter on selecting a folder". But without clarification it is a guess work. > besides, a 'documentation bug' is surely documentation which is wrong and not missing documentation, wouldn't you say? Not necessarily. Something missing or incomplete could also be an issue leading to confusion, guess work and from that unexpected results which can damage user data. Some software projects deliberately have separate branches or even separate bugzilla's for such requests. As this one has only one bugzilla - I reported it here. Is it a problem to write 1-2 sentences in the manual saying what it does? Or should it remain deliberately non-documented just to prove that it is not a bug? :) |
