version info on auto-generated email subject

[relocation]

Hi ya,

I'm using "Automatic e-mail Send" feature, and it works like a charm.

I'm developping a software which has thousands of users, and releasing new versions every week and feeling the lack of a minor feature like "Add version number to email subject".

I will try to explain that:

I've been trying to fix eurekalog reported bugs rapidly but there are users who still use my softwares old versions (with bugs actually fixed in new versions) and I'm still getting eurekalog reports from these users.

The difficulty is:
- I have to open up every mail
- then download their attachments
- then extract the compressed TGZ
- then open the report using eurekalog
- and learn it is old version (fixed bugs), which means the steps above were unnecessary for this email and slowing down the bug control progress.


It would be helpful to see version info on the subject.

I mean
e-mail Subject: "xxxxxx Software v1.1 Eurekalog Report"
instead of
e-mail Subject: "xxxxxx Software Eurekalog Report"



keep up the good work! it is fantastic

Hi,

I like this idea too and would find it extremely useful to have the version displayed in the subject field on the mail automatically. Currently I am implementing this manually, having to change the project options before each release. Having a version parameter in the subject field (in EL) such as %v it would be quite versatile so that the version could be placed anywhere in the subject e.g. application "xyx" error in version %v

The reason is quite simple, you may have already fixed old versions or have discontinued versions and its a waste of time to trace through old version's logs only to find out that you've already fixed it etc.

Personally, I don't use .tgz files on my system except for EL. Being able to associate the .tgz files with the viewer, and being able to extract and view them directly would also be quite helpful. Alternatively being able to select the extension and then associating the new extension with the viewer would benefit EL users who do use .tgz files for other things.

Thanks,
Tony.

All good suggestion.

Hi, all.

In current EL version you can use variables to archive the desired effect (there is a button at the bottom of EL's project options).
Just add "%_MainModuleVer%" to subject field.
