For future reference, this is also where you submit feature
requests.
FWIW, most people will ask if a feature is available before
requesting it. ;-) Xcode does a lot, but a lot of features are not
obvious.
A blindingly obvious enhancement for Xcode would be for it to
have a builtin
interface to the bugreporter. Has anyone asked for this?
Yes.
How they request such a thing? I mean I know it is hard for
developers to open a web browser... ;-)
It would be nicer if one command could open your browser and take you
directly to Radar. If it could do more, that would be even cooler.
For example, log you in and take you to a New Problem page, all as
the result of one command in Xcode. Cooler still would be if the New
Problem page were already set up with the appropriate product,
version/build, and OS information, ready for me to add a title,
description, and attachments. If Apple used cookies they could even
add the last system profile file I uploaded so I don't have to use a
file directory dialog to select it every time.
Cooler still (does it never end? LOL) would be if Apple's software
(all of it) could detect that I can file bugs in Radar and every
application had a File Radar command that would do the above. Xcode
could have two commands: one for Xcode and one for documentation. Or,
this could all be handled by an application installed with the
developer tools. I've filed bugs against Interface Builder, Finder,
iChat, Software Updater, iDVD, Safari, DVD Player and probably others
as well, and it's always tedious.
The goal of course is to reduce the tedium of specifying the same
information every time you file a bug report. I'm sure many of us
would file more bugs if it were faster and simpler, and I firmly
believe that modern software should be smart enough to save us from
having to reenter the same information over and over.
