Recent posts/Issue tracker

Could we separate 'recent posts/Issue trackers' in the Support menu?

Have two separate pages, one for forum posts and one for Issue tracker to follow more easily either category. Or have 'Recent posts' limited to the Forum.
In the 'Activity' menu this works for the Issue trackers...

I would rather opt for adding a filter to recent posts. Additionally, we could add a filter as well for language, which would allow you as well to select all the languages for which you like to see the recent posts. What do you think?

Glad you like it. Yet, I believe we can/should further extend the language filter to allow the selection of multiple languages. So then you only need to set this once, for all the languages you like to follow, and when you return to the tracker, it will remember this filter. What do you think?

yep, some multi-select is needed, I have no use for Italian, French, Spanish, Dutch, etc. topics, just English and German would be what I need. The current setup is even worse than before, I can't have an English and a German tracker open and refresh either to see updates, as they now revert to whatever filter settings had been applied last

Not serious but it seems to me that the mechanism is faulty.
I often open two tabs, the English and the Italian forums. As mentioned above, I usually double-click and edit e.g. en in it to reach the other side of the pond. In this way I can go from one side to the other.
But if I use filters the two tabs end up leading to the same page.
From https://musescore.org/it/tracker I can select 'All Types' and 'Italian' but if I move on to the
(https://musescore.org/en/tracker) I get the italian page and viceversa
Deleting the history does not resolve. I have to restart (on Mint and FF61)

The way you described it is actually by design. When you set the filter, it's stored in a cookie. And it's using the same cookie content for any /iso-code/tracker

Since I understand there might be some confusion, I could use a different cookie name for each /iso-code/tracker page. Is this something that would make sense?

Considering that I can use my method and that I don't see too many comments for or against functionality the problem doesn't seem urgent to me.
If there is a way to 'confine' changes into the page of a given language we can see how it is greeted.


I wonder why an old way of saying comes to mind 'The best is the enemy of the good'

Hi Marc, sorry I overlooked that idea of moving the issue tracker. I don't dislike the idea to tbh. But rather than moving, I would add issue tracker under support as well, just like forum.

Fwiw I use /tracker all the time. It's my start of checking out what has been posted/updated. I guess everyone has his own reasons to be on MuseScore.org and therefore his/her own workflow.
