G'Day Deneban. You raise some good points but I still have some "quibbles". For example, your expanded point. I still have no idea what a "spinner" is.
Sure, pware, Its a Microsoft term for a Windows form control that permits user-selectable values from a pre-selected list:
- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/uxguide/ctrl-spin-controls
- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/do...ion.controltype.spinner?view=netframework-4.8
But colloquially it is also expanded to include the selectable text equivalent or "dropdown". My proposed SP1 release notes identified a compatibility mode "spinner" which in this case has 4 pre-selected values to choose from:
Guilty as charged. Having been a one person software developer myself for a major project ("major" in terms of the time I spent on it) for the organisation I worked for. I spent as much time writing the documentation (a full manual for the tech staff and another for the end users) as I did writing and debugging the code. But I was under no real time pressure and the project was the only thing I worked on, unlike the experiences of those working for a gaming software developer.
The nice thing about release notes is they are quick "one-liners".
I appreciate the time you have spent responding to my post.
Thanks pware the feeling is mutual...
