| ===Querying existing reports===
| |
| [[Image:Kde-windows-bugzilla.png|thumb|250px|right|Bugzilla's Query form with KDE on windows product and buildsystem component selected (click to enlarge)]]
| |
| To find a report use the [http://bugs.kde.org/query.cgi Query Reports] form, where you can specify product, component, version, installation type and operating system, and a few more. To find Windows-related reports, select one or more parameters of your search (what can make your result set more or less limited): | |
| *Product: kde-windows
| |
| *Component:
| |
| **buildsystem - The build system for KDE on Windows: plain cmake and [[Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Windows/emerge|emerge]]
| |
| **gui - GUI-related issues for KDE on Windows
| |
| **installer - A graphical [[Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Installation|Installer]] for binary KDE packages (components and applications)
| |
| **network&files - Network and file-handling -related issues for KDE on Windows
| |
| **other - Other issues for KDE on Windows
| |
| *Version: 4.0.0, etc. (you can check version in the "Help->About KDE" dialog window of any KDE app)
| |
| *Installed from:
| |
| **MS Windows - means the installer
| |
| **Compiled Sources - means you have compiled your binaries using ''emerge'' facility
| |
| *Operating system: MS Windows
| |

| ===Sending a new report===
| |
| To send a new report:
| |
| #[https://bugs.kde.org/createaccount.cgi create new account] (if you do not have one yet); note than your account will be assigned to your email address, which will then be available in the public
| |
| #[https://bugs.kde.org/query.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1 login]
| |
| #go to the [https://bugs.kde.org/wizard.cgi KDE Bug Report Wizard] and read information provided here if you are new to the bug tracking system
| |
| #click "Continue" button and select the KDE Version (most probably 4.x) and the Distribution Method - "MS Windows Binaries", the very last item on the list.
| |
| #click "Continue" button and enter a component name into the ''Find'' field, press Search button and select one of the items from the Application list. "Application" means "Product" here.
| |
| #Fill the "Application Version" field and click "Continue"
| |
| #Enter the summary, select "MS Windows" as the operating system
| |
| #"Check for Duplicate Bug Reports" page appears; you have a chance to find already reported similar bugs; press "Continue" button if there is no similar report
| |
| #Fill "Severity" field and provide appropriate amount of information in the "Bug Description" box, then click "Finish"
| |
| | |
| '''Notes'''
| |
| *Before reporting '''make sure''' that you are not going to duplicate already existing report.
| |
| *If you discover that the bug or a wish is not directly related to MS Windows (e.g. a bug can be reproduced on more or all operating systems), set the "operating system" field to "All" and the "platform" field to "unspecified".
| |
| *'''Do not use this [[Projects/KDE_on_Windows|KDE TechBase]] wiki site to report bugs. Use bugs.kde.org.'''
