spe doesn't save positions of window splitters

[Patryk Bajer]

Binary package hint: spe

Positions of window splitters don't save in the workspace. Everytime I open SPE it restores splitter positions to its defaults. I tried to save workspace manually, but it doesn't help. I am using SVN version of SPE (rev 320).

You should only use spe(Ubuntu) on launchpad for bugs related to the packaging of SPE. All other bugs and feature requests should be done on the Berlios project page of SPE: http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=4161 Note that what you are reporting is not really a bug as SPE was not designed to implement this feature. Therefore file it as a wishlist bug on Berlios.

Sorry, this is just wrong. Users are encouraged to report bugs about software included in Ubuntu. If the bug is found upstream as well, then mark it in "Also affects project". Bugs are closed upstream and in the distribution at different times. Having the but reported for upstream and for Ubuntu makes this track keeping easy.

Yes, but in this case the user is not using the Ubuntu package, but an svnsnapshot, so Stani's result, even if the rationale was not the best.

@stani:
What do you think about moving bug tracking completely to the launchpad? This is some kind of schizophrenic situation: one bug here, one bug there. I'm sure you would be more happy if you had one place for all the bugs. This is only my suggestion. Anyway, I posted feature request to the berlios as well.

Regards.

For the development of SPE, I use only one feature and bug tracker which is on berlios. I just wanted to make clear that reporting a bug here, but not upstream on berlios makes no sense. As Matthias commented, marking the bug as invalid was probably not correct.

@bayger:

I exactly want to avoid that bugs are not centralised: if you want me to fix the bug, report it on berlios. You can imagine that I can't look for all bug pages on fedora, opensuse, mandriva, as well... I just happen to use Ubuntu myself, so I work closely together with MOTU to support the packaging of SPE. This does not mean however that I use the launchpad page of the SPE package on ubuntu as a bug tracker for the upstream SPE application.

> What do you think about moving bug tracking completely to the launchpad?
I might move from berlios to launchpad in a *far* future, but in that case I want to move everything (all bug, feature history, but also to move from subversion to bazaar, mailing lists, file downloads, ...) I don't have the time to do that and I am not sure if launchpad supports all these features (such as mailing lists, file downloads). I know that they are planned. If you want to see this move sooner, nobody prevents you to help me with it. With the time you save me for that, I might implement your requested feature.

@Matthias:
As he was reporting about the svn version, I felt he was confusing the spe(Ubuntu) package with spe upstream.

I didn' t know launchpad can interact with Berlios.

@stani:
Indeed, I think that moving everything to the launchpad may be a time consuming operation. So you are probably right, this doesn't make sense for now. I posted this bug here because I didn't know about berlios, and because you wanted me to test the svn version in another bug (which I did). So I assumed that this is the place for all reports. I was wrong... :)
Anyway, I want to help you with SPE, so I will post my reports to the berlios. SPE is great editor/ide for me. I am a complete Python beginner, so probably I wouldn't be useful as SPE developer/bug fixer (at least for now). Only bug reports for now. :)
