We certainly don't want to do this for any new string that is added. If you like you can add a note to README.i18n though and suggest that strings which are likely going to be troublesome should have translator context added.

I wanted to add this in the original sample points implementation, but never managed to do it and forgot it in the meantime. Can you file that as enhancement in bugzilla please? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GIMP thanks, --mitch ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

[Gimp-developer] Sample Points wish
Hello everyone, I'm not sure whether this is a right place to post my wish but I can't find any better. It would be really great if the Sample Points dialog had "Sample average" option as the Color Picker Tool has, because it would certainly improve color correction experience. Without sample average it's not exactly more difficult to do color corrections in Gimp, but it's much more error prone because you can accidentally select the pixel with color lot of color noise. I think my wish is easy to implement because the functionality already exists in Gimp's Color Picker tool. Also I think it would be nice if the Sample Points dialog could show the before/after pixel values (divided eg. by slash or by enclosing one of the values in braces) but it's not something I give a high priority at all. have a nice day, Lukas ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Creating unique file names with Script-Fu
Would it not be possible to create a reasonably unique name using the tiny-fu, ftx extension, (time) function? That should give you a name unique to the current time, at least if you don't try and use it more than once in the current second. You'd probably still need to do some collision avoidance just to be safe. -- Kevin (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

One typical example is here: from po-plugins/it.po #. if and how to center the image on the page #: ../plug-ins/common/align-layers.c:423 ../plug-ins/common/align-layers.c:454 #: ../plug-ins/common/cml-explorer.c:165 ../plug-ins/common/file-ps.c:3242 #: ../plug-ins/common/file-ps.c:3254 ../plug-ins/common/file-psp.c:646 #: ../plug-ins/file-fits/fits.c:1044 #: ../plug-ins/fractal-explorer/fractal-explorer-dialogs.c:998 #: ../plug-ins/fractal-explorer/fractal-explorer-dialogs.c:1039 #: ../plug-ins/fractal-explorer/fractal-explorer-dialogs.c:1080 #: ../plug-ins/lighting/lighting-ui.c:415 #: ../plug-ins/print/print-page-layout.c:461 msgid "None" msgstr "No" w too many contexts for that string! Example: align-layers.c = (IT) allineamento livelli -> None = No or Nessuno (ok!) file.psp.c = (IT) compressione dati -> No or Nessuna (ok!) fractal-explorer-dialogs.c = (IT) composizione -> Nessuna or No (ok!) lighting-ui.c = (IT) tipo luce -> Nessuna (no! ---> I or someonelse will add some context strings) Now I know how to do it.
