Hi Andre,
You’re right there isn’t a manual to how to use the feature request forum - that’s why I wrote the above, as a reference for anyone posting his or her feature request - to help. I’ve used feature request systems a lot in the past as both a user and a developer.
In terms of the DAM discussion, we should probably keep it on the DAM feature request discussion or on the announcement you referenced. I chose the DAM feature request as the place to post as the discussion there is focused, whereas the announcement covers many issues.
I’ve explained my concerns about DAM (consuming too many development resources, inadequate in comparison to existing solutions, narrowing the scope of users interested in the software by excluding users of other DAM technology, not part of DxO USP) in my existing posts on the DAM feature request thread). There’s many interesting comments for and against my suggestions there. It wouldn’t make any sense to repost them here.
I look forward to discussing DxO software with you in the feature request forum and elsewhere, Andre!
PS. If a moderator happens to see this discussion, it seems to me this post might be moved to the DxO PhotoLab discussion forum as it’s general discussion and not a specific feature request.
