Film Gimp Bugs
All non-trivial software has bugs.
The Film Gimp project has an emphasis on quality beyond what
many programs concern themselves with because Film Gimp is used
in commercial motion picture production. Unlike many open source
projects, there is no stable/unstable dichotomy of versions with
Film Gimp. We deliberately focus on just one version at a time
and try to make each release better and more stable than the last.
That's not easy with programmers spread all over the world and
at various skill levels from student to pro.
What known bugs does Film Gimp have now and how do you report
a bug you discover so it gets fixed?
There are three trackers.
To get to the Film
Gimp Bugs tracker go to our home page, then pick {SourceForge}
{Bugs} {Submit New}. Users must log
in to SourceForge in order to report bugs, otherwise we couldn't
track who to follow-up with if we have questions about your bug
report. If you don't already have one, you need to create
a user name on SourceForge. Note that the {Submit New} option
isn't offered in Bugs if you are not logged in. However, you don't
need to be logged in to see the list of known bugs already posted.
When you add a bug report to the tracker your report is automatically
cc-ed to the Film Gimp mailing list. If you aren't quite sure
if something is a bug please discuss it on the list first.
If you create a fix for a bug please send that to Patches.
If you want to make a feature request that goes to Feature
Requests. But first, please discuss your feature idea on the
mailing list. It may be that it has already been discussed and
resolved in another way. Or, it could be that feedback from others
would improve your suggestion.
