Hi Alessandro,<br>
I'd suggest that failing silently is probably the worst situation
for the user, and the code-guidelines should be updated.<br>
The user thinks they're getting what they want and instead their
request is being ignored. These sorts of things usually lead to
users wasting lots of time trying to figure out what's wrong when
all that needs to happen is to tell them (we've all had it happen to
us I'm sure).<br>
<br>
Just my 2p.<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jonathan<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I didn't find much on coding guidelines and I'm not sure
about what to do, it seems that this is treated
differently in different parts of the code.<br>
<br>
</div>
An example:<br>
<br>
</div>
in the vector layer configuration dialog, the user can enter
ad UI file for the custom form, if the specified file does not
exist it is simply ignored (no errors or warnings are shown to
the user).<br>
<br>
</div>
Being in a GUI context, I think that warning the user about a
not-critical misconfiguration would be the right thing to do.<br>
<div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do we have any convention or best practice to follow in
this case?<br>
