Latest revision as of 19:00, 17 May 2023

You contribute by testing Kexi or its components or filing wishes for improvements or new features. We are confident that your experience can help us to deliver a better product!

Reporting new bugs or wishes

Use the KDE Bug Tracking System (also known as Bugzilla):

Report bug or wish for Kexi (set Severity to wishlist to report wish)
See all not closed bugs
See all bugs marked as LATER
See all wishes (in short: bit.ly/kexi_wishes)

Note

You can also Donate to receive priority fixes and improvements features.

Checklist

How to get faster and more accurate response?

Before reporting, check in the reporting system contains similar bugs reports
Carefully read advice within the wizard's pages
Specify your operating system version and application's version
Attach an example file or paste a link to it if the file is large
Offer to send a sample file privately to core developer(s) if the file is confidential
Attach screen shots if this helps to explain better

Read these detailed rules.

In case of crashes

Linux only (without AppImages): If the application or library crashes then on Linux with KDE desktop, Dr Konqi utility will appear and guide you through the process of reporting the crash. Learn how to install and use the tool in the article How to create useful crash reports.

If the Dr Konqui is not available (that is for Windows, macOS, or AppImages) you still can provide valuable report. We will work on providing debugging tools for these systems.

More

In addition to reporting new bugs or wishes you can help by verifying if the current bug reports and wishes are up-to-date and complete. Use the KDE’s bugs tracker.

See how to help with testing: Bugsquad page on KDE Techbase.
