-== Things to Do ==+#Redirect [[How_to_Report_Problems_with_NeoOffice]]
- +
-* New front page (bypassable for certain users, i.e. admins or long-time good bugfilers) or something like [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Camino&format=guided Bugzilla Helper]+
-** Steps to take before filing a bug+
-*** Install latest patch [link]+
-*** Reboot+
-*** Fresh profile+
-*** Attempt to reproduce in corresponding version of OOo/X11 if possible (?)+
-*** Search for duplicate+
-** Scope of bugs, i.e. what's a Neo/J bug vs. an OOo bug/limitation vs. an Apple bug/limitation+
-** How to submit a useful bug report+
- +
-* Write "How to submit a useful bug report"+
-** One issue per bug report+
-** Include Patch level and OS version+
-** How to get a crashlog to attach+
-*** Option A: is crashreporter enabled? Copy/paste into new text file.+
-*** Option B: the hard way+
-****Open Applications > Utilities > Console+
-****Click on the "Logs" toolbar icon if the logs drawer isn't showing on the left.+
-****Navigate through the list until you get to ~/Library/Logs > CrashReporter > soffice.bin.crash.log+
-****Locate the appropriate log for the most recent/remembered crash. It should be the one at the bottom. Each individual crash log is separated by a line of asterisks from the next one above it; each one has a date at the top of it.+
-****Copy from the "Host name" down to the end. Edit > Copy. Places a copy of the log onto the Clipboard+
-****Open TextEdit and create a new plain-text file. Paste the crashlog. (Hmm, isn't there an "export" function in Console.app that will grab the last log entry?)+
-** Attach (not paste) crashlog+
-*** After bug is filed+
-*** Add attachments separately from comments (attachment refresh wipes comments, currently no warning)+
-** Attach screenshot if relevant+
-** Attach problematic document, if relevant, or email it to Patrick if sensitive+
-** Example of a pretty solid report: http://bugzilla.neooffice.org/bug.php?op=show&bugid=554+
- +
-* Change Advanced Query to be the default search+
-:Basic query is absolutely useless for finding duplicates!+
