Feature request - Laurence Harris

Why are you posting a feature request here? VersionTracker is not the developer of File Buddy. Feature requests and bug reports should always go to the developer to be most effective.

Feature request - Rick Deckard

I have to agree. I can sometimes understand why people would make feature requests or complain about bugs in a forum if the developer often comments in it, but even then, wouldn't it just be better to email them? Nearly every developer has an email address for praise/complaints/feature requests/bug reporting/etc., but for some reason people are compelled to write about an app wherever they're first given the opportunity. Check the darned Read Me documents or the About box within the app, developers tell you how to contact them there.

Feature request - John Sawyer

No, you're both right. I succumbed, as the previous author says, to the urge to comment where I was given the first opportunity. I do sometimes send these comments to the developer too (and I just sent this one to File Buddy's developer, due to your suggestion), but not often enough, but I've started to change my ways. But there are at least two practical reasons for still posting feature requests, bug reports, etc. to sites like Versiontracker:

-- to see if other people will say "Yeah, he's right", which will hopefully get those other people to send their comments about the subject to the developer too, thus increasing the number of comments from just one (mine) to several, in hopes that more will sway the developer to consider my observations.

-- to show the developer that my comment is in the public arena, which might get some developers to consider a comment more actively than if it were a single email sent to them in private.
