| ===Querying existing reports===
| |
| [[Image:Kde-windows-bugzilla.png|thumb|250px|right|Bugzilla's Query form with ''installer'' 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 other things. To find Windows-related reports, select one or more parameters of your search (which can make your result set more or less limited): | |
| *Product: for installer select ''kde-windows''; for applications, find appropriate name, e.g. ''amarok''
| |
| *Component: the options here depend on the selected product; e.g. for installer there are the following components:
| |
| **buildsystem - The build system for KDE on Windows: plain cmake and [[Getting_Started/Build/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: depends on the selected product; for installer it can be 4.0.0, etc. (you can check version in the "Help->About" dialog window of any application)
| |
| *Installed from:
| |
| **MS Windows - means that the source was the installer for Windows
| |
| **Compiled Sources - means you have compiled your binaries using the ''emerge'' facility
| |
| *Operating system: MS Windows
| |

| You can click with the Ctrl key pressed to make multiple choices in a list.

| '''Notes'''
| |
| *Before reporting '''make sure''' that you are not going to duplicate an already existing report.
| |
| *Each report has its own unique number and web page. You can correct the information you have provided in the report afterwards, e.g. fill in a product version.
| |
| *If you discover that a bug or a wish is not directly related to MS Windows (e.g. a bug can be reproduced in several 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.'''
