What about an official bug tracker where everybody can see and add the bugs/features progress, Ale?
I think that would be something that all users are really waiting for... beside the fixing of course  |

Maybe the issue manager / bug tracker should get limited to registered (as in: license holders) users?
Side note: while I strongly agree that a dedicated issue management would be very helpful for us users I'm also a bit afraid that it would keep Ale away from actually fixing bugs and adding features. You know - tickets need review, qualification, commenting, testing, discussion (*), assignment to releases etc. pp.
(*) user: it's a bug - developer: no, that's how it was designed - user: but it's kinda buggy 'cause it does not do what I want it to - dev: what do you want it to do - u: this (describing a totally different scenario from what's in the initial bug description - dev: I see. It would be a change request - u: whaterver, make it so it works like I need it to - dev: but it's not a bug ... |

Just a hint:
Maybe Alessio can open a project page on Sourceforge. There is a simple bugtracker/ticket system included.
I tried a little bit with my "xmm scripts project page" and think this could be useful.
Furthermore Alessio has not that much efforts with programming or configuring a bugtracker which prevents him from fixing XMM. |

A limitation to registered users? Never thought of anything else  Maybe I would go a little further that a special (group of) user has to pre-sort the bugs/requests before writing in the tracker.
Keeping Ale away from bug fixing - that's a good argument I didn't have thought about. On the other hand Ale has to read the forum, too. And as the most positive point for a bug tracker: No bug can be forgotten and the fixings can explicitely be tested as well as added feature requests. Here in the forum you unfortunately have no clear structure for such things unless some good ghosts like Mawu invests time to collect anything in one post. |

The problem is: xMM is no open source project.
Instead of that I would suggest:

Each buggy update for $50, no way. I am paying for professional program a lot of money, example: Picture database (pixandmore Imabas) this is relay professional. Your right Moviemanager is the best today on the marked that's true. But do not discuss about a bug tracker that's not the problem, you can do that with a simple excel file.

| I'm still waiting for something that exist in EMM7 and not EMM8 such as cleaning cover that not attached to a movie. One (not two) step forward and one step backward. |

I really hope to improve it a lot. I have start it again trying to fix the most important/old bugs and add the requested new features.
Please - concentrate on fixing the bugs and getting the features at least to the level of XMM7.
And I fully support the need for request/bug management features so we can have input to prioritisation and track progress. There is list/review of open source bug tracking software on
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/08/bug-tracking-system/
Maybe something there will help?

| About a bug tracker. I have the music collection software MediaMonkey. They are tracking bugs with Mantis and this is working really good. |
