Bug ID: 402890
Summary: Menu items ‘Open selected files’/‘Open’ overwrites
template files instead of creating translation files
Product: lokalize
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: project management
Assignee: sdepi...@gmail.com
Reporter: k...@huftis.org
CC: sha...@ukr.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In the project view, when one right-clicks on a folder which contain a
completely untranslated catalogue (i.e. one which only exists as a .pot file,
not a ‘.po’ file) and selects ‘Open selected files’, the .pot file is opened
instead of a .po file being created. The same thing happens when you
right-click on a .pot file and selected ‘Open’.
When saving the file, the original .pot file is overwritten, making it an
invalid .pot file, i.e. one containing translations.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a translation project which contain at least one non-translated files
(e.g. use the Norwegian Nynorsk project
‘trunk/l10n-support/nn/kde-nynorsk.lokalize’ in the KDE repository).
2. Right-click on a folder which contain non-translated files (.pot files)
(e.g. ‘extragear-edu’ for the Norwegian Nynorsk project) and select ‘Open
selected files’
3. Navigate the one of the .pot files, edit a string and save the file.
OBSERVED RESULT
The .pot file in the template folder is opened and saved.
EXPECTED RESULT
A corresponding .po file in translation folder should be created/saved.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Opening a .pot file by double-clicking on it, works fine. That is, a .po file
is created in the translation folder when you save the file. And the name of
tab is ‘filename.po’, not ‘filename.pot’, to reflect that you’re editing the
.po translation file, not the .pot template file.
So it is only when opening files using the ‘Open selected files’ menu item in
the right-click menu on a folder or the ‘Open’ menu item in the right-click
menu on a file that the wrong file is opened/saved.
I set the ‘Severity’ to a ‘Major’, as this bug can lead to data-loss
(overwriting template files).
I observe this bug using the latest Git version of Lokalize (Lokalize 19.03.70
– not possible to choose this version number in Bugzilla).
