Andrew, thank you so much for your quick response. Separate threads will help tremendously!

Should there be one for the Mixer?

—————————————————-

Similar to my point about too many ideas in one thread, I want to repeat my suggestion about the bugs reporting spreadsheet. I think it should be a database.

Yes, I see the irony because I created the basic format of the spreadsheet when Trevor, Noel, John Ford, and I started working together. But almost immediately I realized what a design mistake I had made as soon as we had multiple comments on one topic. This is one reason why you had trouble incorporating the comments into the January 2024 spreadsheet you created.

A relational database system would create tables so that multiple comments can be linked to one reported bug. It would also be possible to create a menu of front-end options for SQL queries. For example:
show me every comment by Noel

show me every item where PG Music said Cannot Reproduce AND Priority = 1

Show me every comment that has “radio button”

You can write SQL queries on the fly, or when new queries are needed, they could be added to the menu.

Note that I had such a system running 25 years ago and my knowledge of the tools is old. Perhaps a Chat GP tool could serve as a front end now.
