275935 - Plugins shows Real Player as Windows Media Player

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Public Pages, defect)

Description

[Alex Sirota (iosart)]

First of all I wanted to thank all those who worked on the new UMO - great job,
thanks! :)

I have a few comments, a typo report etc:
1. Firefox > Plugins - the description of "Windows Media Player" says something
about RealPlayer, I believe it's a typo.

2. The name of the submitter of a comment/rating/review is displayed using the
same style/font/color as the title of the comment. This is a bit confusing IMHO.
For example: Dave submits a comment and says "Great extension". His comment will
say "Great extension by Dave" :) ,  etc.

3. Developer panel - submitting a new extension version for approval, asks for a
description of the new extension version. The description appears immediately,
before the version is approved. This can be confusing to the users - they see a
new description along with the old version. An easy workaround would be for me
to wait and update the description -after- the version is approved, but it would
be nice if every version had its own description.

That's it for now, thanks again, I'm really enjoying the new system :)

There is a recent changes section that only accompanies the version.

Yes, but sometimes there are major changes/additions and the description needs
to change. And these major changes will be missing in the version that the user
downloads :). This is no biggy, though, I guess a developer can wait until the
extension is approved and only then update the description. Maybe add a small
warning in the entry form to warn the developer that this is the behavior?

A funny follow up on the comment author having the same font as the comment title:
Farkit comment:
--------------------------
Best. Extention. Ever. (Except for the better ones by Brandon Sharitt
    "Thank's to Farkit I can now waste time more efficiently and get more women
now."
--------------------------
It looks like Brandon claims he has created better extensions than Farkit :D

One more issue - the "Auto-detect" browser feature seems to be a bit problematic
- with FF 1.0 I have to manually switch to "Firefox 1.0" in order to see the 1.0
extensions.

Patch attached.  Soon to be checked into cvs.

Please file a separate bug

Please file a separate bug.  This will probably be resolved by a note on the dev
panel that warns the user.
