I have, but I just started with Tcl and was until now mostly a back-end
developer, so I have a lot to learn.

because the TCLers developer are not accepting any improvement of the Tk's documentation, I sent a some suggestions but no answer, I want at leadt add an explanation of the "ptoxy" in panedwindow widget but no answer, before I aked them to group the configure and cget command for normal widget under seperate section as for themed widget but nothing. All of these make me think that you are loosing interest in your toolkit.
You should know that I use Tkinter.

Proxy question posted Feb. 28. Today is Mar. 10.

That is *at most* nine days of elapsed time from asking here until now.

Nine days is not enough time to decide "but no answer" from individuals
who work on Tk on a *volunteer* basis.

Also, did you actually post an item in the bug tracker, or are you
measuring time from your posting here on Usenet? Because if you are
just measuring from the post here on Usenet, then it is quite possible
the *volunteer* who should see your comment does not read the posting
here at all.

Plus, in general, when dealing with any software created by volunteers,
you will also find that you get a much better (and sometimes faster)
response the more effort you put in up front. I.e., in order:

1) submitting a *demand* (or anything that sounds even remotely like
a *demand* or *command*) that the volunteer do something - likely
ignored entirely

2) submitting a comment that something could be improved with a
change (but with no suggested change) - a bit better than #1, but
any response will likely only occur "when time is available"

3) submitting a comment that something could be improved, with a
suggestion for the alternate change (i.e., supplying the words
that would be the change) - much better than #2, more likely to
get noticed and be acted upon by the volunteer

4) submitting an actual patch to the most current version of the file
in question such that the volunteer merely has to review the
change and choose to commit - best possible submission, very
likely to get noticed, and very likely to get handled first when
time becomes available, and/or for time to be "made available" to
handle it, because the commitment from the volunteer is minimal
here.


Complaining here of no response, after at most nine days, for work from
volunteers, implies the possibility that your submission might have
fallen on the smaller number end of the list above.

Thanks Rich for your answer. Your patience largely exceeds mine and I
admire you. You are absolutely right and I really hope the OP will
understand it.

The OP complainer did not do anything else than asking several times the
same question, here and on tcl-core list, basically just prompting me
for doing something for him for free, and immediately.

I finally did:

https://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview/3e490c13869

The other option was to put him in my kill file.

I never thought that what I did is so AWFUL :-(, my sincere MY APOLOGISES, but may be your rules are not the same as in Python mailing list , in addition it is the first time I learn about your "Ticket" and I never thought that to ask something I have to pay. I repeat my apologise, but in other way it express my attachement to your toolkit and I made I great effort to translate your tk documentation to python (tkinter-manual.blogspot.com).

I am shamed when I saw your answer.

One does not have to pay to ask -- but as has been pointed out
elsewhere, the best way is to submit a ticket (free to submit) with a
proposed correction.

Interested in Tk but not used it in a long time.

Most of my work is on the Linux desktop so I use Gnocl. (www.gnocl.org),
fully Gnome compliant.

If I stilled worked on Windoze or Mac then perhaps.
