Accordance Enthusiast Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Seeing this post. The problem is that too often the same bugs are found on Mac and Windows, and even worse, it has often cost me a good deal of discussion to convince Accordance that something is really a bug. Could you guarantee us that the bug reports will actually be tested by Accordance staff on both Mac and Windows? Tech support has been a good place for both Mac and Windows users to discuss and confirm bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yes. I’m about to get access to a Windows PC, so I’ll personally be testing every new bug report that is posted there on both Mac and Windows after 14.0.5 is released (since it’ll probably release before I have a Windows PC setup here). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I have an Intel Mac, and I was going to go that route, but there are some apps I’ll be running on it that don’t play too great with a virtual machine. Plus, a friend of mine is buying me a new Windows PC and insists on buying me an actual PC (not a Windows and Parallels license). So I guess I can’t turn that down. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For bug hunts, it can help to work with something less reliable, more open to manifesting programming flaws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on you, too - I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that you're the critical link to Accordance's user base right now. Thanks for working so hard to enable good communication between the users and the various Accordance departments - development, marketing, management, support, and probably others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Glad to be of assistance! I just learned the principle of “you reap more than you sow”. I gave away my 2011 iMac to a neighbor, now I’m gaining a Windows PC and an ancient iMac G3 to play with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I’m also going to post a couple of threads on here about reporting cross-platform bugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
