If you want to add other stuff into [Attachment], please re-attach entire files.
QualityCentral client does not merge them automatically.
Thanks.

Ok, as for many features of the tool, it seems that we have to live with it.

I can understand that the tool does not deserve top priority, but as an entry gate for the quality management of Embarcadero, it is a deception to see that so few attention is given to the (voluntary) testers.

Now that I have entered many reports, I think I will survive with the tool as it is today, but what it will collect will probably sometimes be incorrect (e.g. wrong delphi version or wrong locale), incomplete (I usually do screen shots to help the solver but cannot add them easely) and minimalist (no additional effort will be done as it does not seem to be promoted).

Let me know if I have to withdraw all the entries relating to the tool.

Thanks for your reply.
