I was not able to use the "," (po-tags-search) on a new C project. The code scanned through all files (leaving them all open in separate buffers) but did not find any translatable strings.
To test this I set up a simple project with a single C file: #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { puts("Hello world"); return 0; } I ran 'etags *.' to create the TAGS file. I ran 'emacs main.po' to start emacs with a new PO file. I pressed ',' Expected result: "Hello world" string highlighted Actual result: no text highlighed and 'All files processed' appeared on the status line at the bottom. Am I using the gettext mode incorrectly or is there a bug in the mode? Emacs : version 24.5.1 (from Ubuntu 16.04) gettext : 0.19.7-2ubuntu3 gettext-el : 0.19.7-2ubuntu3 po-mode-version-string : "2.24" Thanks, Peter
