KBibTeX

Reporting Bugs

I am always interested in receiving bug reports, suggestion and even feature requests. If you are an experienced user you may want to try the SVN snapshot and check if your problem has already been fixed in the development version.

When you report a bug that occurs when working on a specific BibTeX file, please send this file along with your report so that I can try to reproduce the bug.

If KBibTeX crashes, it is important that you send me the backtrace of this crash, too. See this article on KDE TechBase how to create useful crash reports.

Please include the word KBibTeX into the subject of your mail, which allows me to filter and process your messages more easily.

Postcard

I am interested in receiving postcards from KBibTeX users all over the world. If you want to send me a nice postcard, please send me an email asking for my postal address (I don't want to put it on my website).
