pgAdmin will now try to locate a doc version that fits the language 
settings, and will fall back to en_US.
The options setting is removed.

I invented the web help for *pgsql* help, which depends on the system in 
use, and may change while pgAdmin is still used (I'm using the 7.4 doc, 
and will always use the newest). BTW, we should drop a note in the doc 
that some pgAdmin3 options depend on the backend, and may not be 
available for older versions.

I'll recode pgAdmin help calling as soon as we have agreed where files 
should go for release installs. I'd vote to put them under the existing 
ui/lang_Country directories, parallel to *.mo, but I feel you wouldn't 
like that... Just give me your vote for a better place.
I haven't worked with HTMLWorkshop before, it's hopefully easy to import 
html files into a htmlws project at a later time. Can you do that? I 
just tried the pgadmin2 help directory under win32 and gtk2 
(wxHtmlHelpController) and it displayed nicely.

Insert of empty cols don't insert NULL any more, thus serial as any 
other column with a default value are handled now corretly.
   

Cool, thanks.

I tend to fix things so fast, that I forget they ever existed :-) 
Therefore, I didn't mention it.

Maybe docs/lang_Country is easier to maintain because you will be able to ls 
-l docs and see how many docs are translated... 

We will deliver .mo files and documentation in the same packages, like :
- http://www.pgadmin.org/snapshots/linux/redhat9/RPMS
- http://www.pgadmin.org/snapshots/linux/mandrake91/RPMS

Are you able to switch back to English when a French page does not exist?

 Hi Dave,
 I've seen you just added options-tab doc under en_US/*.html.
 I wanted to comment on doc location before, just forgot to do it. I 
 think making the location for application documentation doesn't make 
 sense, because each version of the binary should be packed with the 
 exact matching doc version. Therefore, only one version is 
 needed. On the other side, if the doc location is well-known 
 to us, we could 
 easily switch directories to the best matching language version 
 (fall-back language will be of course en_US). Additionally, 
 if we switch 
 to a different format (e.g. HTML workstop) to support search 
 and index, 
 upgrading the setting wouldn't be possible anyway.

No, because after the root file for help is located, the help controller 
will handle all stuff itself, it's merely a big structured single 
document. There are no side entries. Partial translation won't work, all 
or nothing. It's only the application help (contents) that will be 
translatable, the pgsql doc is external. Of course, the user might point 
to an external site that's providing translated pgsql doc, hopefully all 
page names are identical

Andreas

Yeah, I know - I'm just messin with ya! Seriously though, we need to be
careful about what docs *we* use, and what we say other people should use.
We will never release pgAdmin for an unreleased version of PostgreSQL
(even if it's in feature freeze) - catalogues etc. can change even at the
last minute. We should be sure we absolutely know what versions we are
coding for and make pgAdmin behave appropriately (not that we haven't been
afaik).
 I'll recode pgAdmin help calling as soon as we have agreed where files
 should go for release installs. I'd vote to put them under the existing

That's where I put them now iirc.

 that? I  just tried the pgadmin2 help directory under win32 and gtk2

Oh right, OK. In that case I'll take a look. Building a chm from htmls is
no problem. Dunno how you reference individual pages though...

Not chm, just the hhp, hhc and hhk file and their subfolders. I haven't 
been deeper into this, but we seem to need this source level 
(alternatively, this can be put into a zip file).
