Opinion: Feature prioritization

Post by Jon »

As an organization tool, EPIM is unparalleled (for me at least). Over the years, the improvements have all been very useful. Related items was something I had hoped for and was using various work-arounds when EPIM aquired this elegant solution to an everyday CRM problem.

So now I am trying to figure out why 9.4 introduced pdf previews and broke other areas of the program. I am being selfish here, but I have previously posted about the need for a way to reschedule dependent tasks. This is something missing that I think would be basic to EPIM's organizational functionality.

No disrespect. Was there such a demand for pdf preview? EPIM could stand some improvements to the way tasks and calendar items are managed. I just don't understand how new features are prioritized.

9.4 problems:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=35360

However, I really should be more charitable. The list was longer, but I see that problems were addressed quickly via silent updates. This has always been the case with EPIM. I should have been more patient.

I also felt the same way about the PDF preview feature, seemed like a strictly "nice-to-have" feature compared to other more critical features being requested here. It's definitely going to come in handy and I have appreciation for these welcome surprises, though there are other requests on here that seem more urgent.

Anyway, that's just my 2 cents, but to the dev team - thank you and just do what makes you happy :)!
