@GIMP could you maybe add a link to ux-team issue tracker at https://www.gimp.org/bugs/ ?

I see now that links to both trackers are present at https://www.gimp.org/develop/ (which I didn't visit initially), but not at .../bugs page.

I think it might be likely for a user to (1) think of their "UX feedback" either as a "feature request" or a "bug", and (2) expect a project to have the only one bug tracker/issue tracker (like many smaller projects do). which might lead them to finding https://www.gimp.org/bugs/ page or the "main" issue tracker first (like it happened to me). Following a direct link to correct issue tracker could save a bunch of steps (including issues with copying URL in GitLab UI, and searching the wrong tracker for existing issues).

BTW, do you know if it is possible to submit a report to the issue tracker via email, without registration? Like here https://todo.sr.ht/~rjarry/aerc
Looks like this feature exists in GitLab, but might need to be configured: https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/service_desk/ (I never used it, just found)

GIMP - Bugs

If you think you found a bug, it is very important to report it. If the developers don’t know about what might be broken, they can’t fix it. So there you are at your computer trying to do something with GIMP and it freaks out at you. It …

@GIMP A certain behavior of GIMP annoyed me, so I decided to create an issue/feature request on improving UI/UX.

This is what I did:

  • web-search "gimp issue tracker"
  • go to https://www.gimp.org/bugs/
  • go to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues (which was also in search results though)
  • search issue tracker by keywords and relevant labels, ensure that my issue hasn't been reported yet
  • press "new issue", be prompted to sign in
  • discover that singing in via github or google is only available for pre-existing accounts
  • go to sign up page; discover that you can only register with a password, not a third-party identity provider
  • create an account, save password to password manager, confirm email
  • press "new issue", select template "feature" from the dropdown menu
  • notice that template starts with a warning "If the feature is UI-related, please DO NOT REPORT HERE but on gimp-ux: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/GIMP/Design/gimp-ux/-/issues"
  • the URL in this warning is neither clickable, NOR selectable. The whole text forms an atomic non-editable block, so there is no obvious way to follow the URL.
  • type URL into address bar by hand, see page 404 (because of a typo)
  • discover that in "new issue" editor one could actually "drag and drop" the non-editable warning text block inside the text field, to insert an editable copy of the text, select and copy the URL
  • open the UX team issue tracker using valid URL (honestly, why a separate tracker and not a label?)
  • search existing issues; discover that my issue has been reported already (!)
  • add a "thumbs up" reaction (was: 2, now: 3)

    • I would feel better if this whole process required less interactions :/

    Have you ever tried to use your corporate gmail as a secondary for your github account?

  • Is it possible to receive organization-related github notifications (Issues, PRs conversations) to the work email, but keep other notifications (e.g. open source projects) in your personal mail?

  • Is it possible to select an appropriate email (personal/work) when you use "login with github" feature? E.g. when I login to some service (sonarcloud) that relies on me having a corporate e-mail for authorization.

    Must not contain the characters <, > or spaces.

    Do I get it correctly, that you disallow < and > symbols because you display plaintext passwords on HTML pages/other XML documents without proper encoding?

    Do you use plaintext passwords for filenames (surely <, > and spaces are bad options for filenames)?

    What could be the reasons to prohibit these symbols?
