Here's what I have to do to file something in Radar:
1. Launch or bring Safari to the front.
2. Click the RadarWeb link in my bookmarks bar.
3. Safari fills in my name and password, so I click the button to log in.
4. I click the New Problem thing at the top. (What is that, anyway? It looks like a list header, but there's no list.)
5. Once I'm on the page I have to select a product and ideally supply a version.
6. Fill in title and description.
7. If it's a bug report, I have to click a button and select my current system profile.
Wouldn't it be great if we everything except (6) could be done by one command in the relevant application? The value in this becomes even more apparent when you consider that every little bug or enhancement you want to file is supposed to be entered as a separate Radar entry. It's mind-bogglingly dumb IMO to have to use a file selection dialog four times in succession to select my system profile to file four bugs, for example.
All this is not entirely without precedent. If someone at Apple is using Mail, he can click rdar://5288355 to go directly to my entry without jumping through the hoops *I* do to see it.
Hey, there's an idea, a way for developers to click a link like that to go to our own report, with only a stop along the way to enter our passwords. Currently it can be pretty tedious to find a bug if you've filed a lot of them.
Yeah, if Apple made a BugReporter app; it could register that protocol and open up to the appropriate entry. If they didn't make it a full fledged app, then they should at least have that protocol registered with the Dock, or something, that would open your web browser to the appropriate entry. Maybe stopping to enter a password, or the devs preference could let you set a default ADC account for the use of such things. :-)
Come on Apple, why don't you help us help you make good software, since you need our help. ;-)
