Re: More about Makebook feature in Amaya

While as a user I understand you but, maybe not quite as a developer:
the fact is that approximately 80% [1] of reported bugs are "solved"
by reading the user manual. Naturally, I guess we all agree that
applications should be intuitive enough (to dismiss documentation in
most common use-cases) and that documentation should be as
clear/simple as possible. ;-)

Some of the steps don't appear to be prone to automation (easily, at
least, and IMO). I'd defy one to rework this lack of
documentation/automation into a feature request or a (precise)
proposal to improve the current behavior! :-)


Finally, I'd also invite the Amaya team to comment a bit on this (even
if no feature request/improvement proposal arises). ;-)


Cheers,
 Helder
