Re: [Gimp-developer] Gimp User Filter
Hi, If the goal is not reuse of existing filter but creating new ones from scratch there are already at least two solutions tackling it in slightly different ways. http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/schani/mathmap/ and http://pippin.gimp.org/plug-ins/gluas/ Well, you can also re-use existing filters. In fact several hundreds that have been written for Filter Factory (not all of which may be useful though) and are either in the public domain or otherwise freely available. MathMap might be the best of all solutions from what I see, but also the most complex. So far, UserFilter seems to be simpler to use for the average graphician (I think) - plus it is possible to have filter scripts installed in the Gimp's menu (which doesn't seem to be possible with gluas or mathmap and which I feel is important for working with a filter that has been created with such a tool). But as you said: It is a different approach...

[Gimp-developer] Little question about development
Dear GIMP developers, I am Marco D'Ambros, a PhD student in the university of Lugano Switzerland. I am working in analyzing the evolution of software system and a couple of years ago I was looking at the development of GIMP. I saw that a large number of commits in the GIMP cvs repository were performed by an account called mitch. I was wondering if that account was used by one developer only, who contributed with a lot of code, or maybe it was an account used by several developers which works as a kind of proxy. I know this refers to not that recent times, but perhaps somebody knows about it. Thank you very much for your attention and congratulation for the development of a really awesome software. Cheers Marco ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] what are the strings with the | character ?
There are some string containing the | character (example: tool|_Zoom) that, when translating (example for me: unealtă|_Zoom), they appear as is in my translated menu (like unealtă|Zoom with Z underlined). However, in English only the Zoom part is shown. What is this / how should I treat it ?

E.g. you can have same word in two different dialogs which should be translated differently depending on context. This matters for some languages and doesn't matter for others. So you just read the part before | and make up your mind how to translate the part after | character. Then you just put to translation the part after |, dropping the part before | character and | character itself. Does it makes sense? :) Alexandre ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

You are supposed to have read the guidelines for translators in the GNOME translation project. Doesn't it include this information? By the way, I have just done a change to trunk that converts most (unfortunately not all, due to technical reasons) places where a translation context was used to the new scheme using msgctxt. This makes it easier for translators. Instead of #: ../app/core/gimpchannel-select.c:58 msgid command|Rectangle Select we now have the less error-prone: #: ../app/core/gimpchannel-select.c:60 msgctxt command msgid Rectangle Select Please use the msgctxt when translating. If someone wants to add more translation contexts to the code, please send patches...
