Description Willian Mitsuda CLA 2008-01-25 16:17:36 EST 
Actually Mylyn allows to create bug reports from error log entries. But sometimes there is a need to give feedback to recurring problems, and there is a need to paste log entries into existing bugs. See for example bug#188524.

Since log entries can have very long stack traces, I think it should be attached, so cc'd people don't get spammed.
Comment 1 Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-01-25 16:32:37 EST 
I like that idea. It would be nice if a log entry could be dragged on to the task editor to add the contents as an attachment.
Comment 2 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2008-01-25 18:29:20 EST 
Dragging log entris to the task editor is an interesting idea but we'll need support for that in the Error Log view. Maybe Chris could help with that.
Comment 3 Jacek Pospychala CLA 2008-01-25 18:32:43 EST 
so basically you'd need Error Log view to be a DND source, right?
Comment 4 Jacek Pospychala CLA 2008-01-25 18:48:56 EST 
I have created bug 216657 for what is needed from Error log view side.
Comment 5 Mik Kersten CLA 2008-01-29 01:56:25 EST 
Please note my cautions on bug 216640.  However, there's no need to preclude this functionality, so if someone is interested in contributing it we can integrate it.

When receiving multiple drag elements, only the first is actually attached while it would be very convenient if you can attach multiple error log entries in one go.
Propose adding dependency on bug 205238.
Is there specific API to add attachments, like task.addAttachment(kind, data), that is needed for 205238 as well.

Mylyn has been restructured, and our issue tracking has moved to GitHub [1].

We are closing ~14K Bugzilla issues to give the new team a fresh start. If you feel that this issue is still relevant, please create a new one on GitHub.
