Wanted: Feedback on TUI
Hello
Couldnt think of a better place than "What is on your Mind".
So me have that project https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...k-scripts.html.
Eventhough i tried to describe it well in its thread and its README.md on github, i've been asked what for it is.
Where i already fail to understand why "a line based Text User Interface for scripts" isnt a good description???
To me that question sounds like: "What is the command 'echo' and 'printf' good for?"
What i'd like to get, if you already tried out, is feedback to keep improving it.
Reason i'm asking is, i have one feedback telling me how easy it is to apply, and one feedback telling me its all but natural or easy approach and that he wouldnt know how to start or use it.
Beeing asked what they liked or dislike, neither of them replied.
Now, having only 2 feedbacks which are quite opposite to eachother and beeing left alone when trying to get more details from those 2 guys, i feel the urge to ask here.
Actualy I have two questions, for either of which i hope you already did at least try TUI.
A last 'question'.
If you have TUI installed, please post your system here, and if some commands giving trouble - name them, so i'd know which files need to be fixed for which systems.
As obvious visible some errors might look, on another system they may not occour at all.
I start figuring, the hardest part to contribute one owns project to "the community" is to get a large enough 'range/amount' of people using it, so feedbacks/requres/suggestions/errors are reported back 'automaticly'.
And to have the proper description, to attract only those who can handle it.
(As in: It makes no sense to have the bank accountant using Photoshop CS3000 (idk, wc), and the artist to use the latest Abacus)
Any advice/feedback?
Thank you in advance.

- Could someone please help me to get a technicly correct description on TUI?
I seem to even fail describing it good enough in (swiss-)german which is my mothers tounge.
- Could you please share your collected impression/opinion on TUI?
- Is the help text (-h) unclear?
- Is there too less info in the manpage/s?
- Is the README.md misleading?
- Is the wiki usefull?

gst-feedback-0.8
gst-feedback-0.8(1) User Commands gst-feedback-0.8(1) NAME
gst-feedback-0.8, gst-feedback - generate debug information for GStreamer bug reports SYNOPSIS
gst-feedback-0.8 gst-feedback [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print] DESCRIPTION
gst-feedback-0.8 scans the system for various types of information that is useful to GStreamer developers to help diagnose user problems. Depending on the type of bug report, it might be useful to attach gst-feedback output when you contact the developers. Note: The current version of this script scans many directories: /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, /home, /usr/include, /usr/local/include, and /home (again) for various GStreamer installations. Depending on your system, you might not want to do this. Note: gst-feedback-0.8 dumps a lot of information about a system. Some of this information might be considered sensitive. If this is a concern, review the information before posting to a public forum such as the GStreamer bug tracking system. gst-feedback is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-feedback-X.X. For example, if both gst-feedback-0.7 and gst- feedback-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-feedback runs gst-feedback-0.8. OPTIONS
The following options are supported by gst-feedback only: --gst-list-mm List found major/minor versions. This option displays the versions that are available. --gst-mm=string Force major/minor version. This option enables you to specify a specific version to run, if you do not want to run the default version. --print Print wrapped command line. This option displays the command that will be run, and then runs the command. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Generating Feedback Information example% gst-feedback-0.8 Example 2: Generating Feedback Information and Redirecting Output and Errors to a File example% gst-feedback-0.8 &> myfeedback Example 3: Running the Wrapper Script and Displaying the Command Name example% gst-feedback --print /usr/bin/gst-feedback-0.8 FILES
The following files are used by this application: /usr/bin/gst-feedback-0.Executable to generate debug info for GStreamer bug reports /usr/bin/gst-feedback Wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-feedback-X.X ATTRIBUTES
