[See Bugtracker] "Report broken plugin" feature to be added to app?

[emsef]

it would be great if there was a "report broken plugin" option in the app.

That way, when I encounter a broken plugin I can report it through the app and not have to come to the website to create a topic.

The app has the example URL and debug info so it makes sense to report it from there. Maybe from the context/right click menu on a download?

Maybe in future but not at the moment. The current way works best for us at the moment.

OK, thanks for the consideration anyway!

You're welcome. Just to let you know, I like the idea, but it requires lot of backend work (avoid duplicates, merge same errors to same 'tickets', remove finished/outdated 'tickets/errors') and that's why currently I've only created a ticket for this idea

Also note that we do have stats backend which collects information about plugins and usage. From that we can determine when plugins are broken. Relying on users at times to report issues can result in false positives, usually you have high instance of firewall/antivirus interference. So stats can be more reliable in that instance.
