How to Report a Bug or Request a Feature for SD Maid 1

Updated

The preferred way to report a bug or request a feature for SD Maid 1 is through the project's issue tracker. The SD Maid 1 site states this directly, and it also notes that SD Maid 1 issue tickets are being reviewed and migrated where applicable to the SD Maid 2/SE issue tracker. If your report concerns SD Maid 2/SE, use that separate tracker instead.

Where to submit your report

The SD Maid 1 page lists Report a bug / Request a feature as a main section and points to the issue tracker as the preferred channel. The same page also links to SD Maid 2/SE's issue tracker separately, so the two products do not share one submission destination.

Use the SD Maid 1 tracker when:

  • The problem or request is specifically about SD Maid 1/Legacy.
  • You are reporting something that still applies to the legacy app as it currently works.

Use the SD Maid 2/SE tracker when:

  • The issue or idea concerns SD Maid 2/SE.
  • You are following up on a ticket that has already been migrated to the newer tracker.

What to expect after you submit

SD Maid 1/Legacy will keep working as it is, but it will not get new features or improvements. Updates are limited to security fixes. Because of that, feature requests for SD Maid 1 may not lead to changes in the legacy app. The site notes that SD Maid 1 issue tickets are being reviewed and migrated where applicable, so a ticket you file for SD Maid 1 may end up being handled under SD Maid 2/SE if it applies there.

Before you file

  • Check whether the behavior also exists in SD Maid 2/SE. If it does, the SD Maid 2/SE tracker is the more relevant place.
  • Look at the SD Maid 2/SE FAQ if your question is about the successor app rather than a bug or feature request.
  • Keep the report about one specific bug or one specific feature so it can be reviewed and migrated cleanly.
