------- Additional comments from bmarce...@openoffice.org Thu Nov 26 13:24:42 +0000 2009 ------- I cannot show a series of steps to reproduce it, but I am sure there are several bugs in the dialog localization. I encounter problems when I design dialogs in My Macros with the IDE (preparing an extension). This has appeared on different projects and also before version 3.1.1. Suppose you design some complex dialog library (several dialogs, each with several and various controls). You test it with your code. Then you reopen the IDE to change something : add or suppress a control, or rename it, or add another dialog, or delete another, etc. Maybe also add another language. When you test again you may see some texts of a dialog replaced by for example &874.DlgSel.CurrentState.Label which means the localization mechanism cannot retrieve the corresponding string. Then you close OpenOffice, and during the closure you get a crash message of OpenOffice. If you read the DialogStrings_xx_XX.properties you find errors like duplicate lines or lines out of the nummbering order, or missing lines. These bugs may not appear on very simple dialogs, but they do appear sooner or later when you create really useful dialogs. It is very difficult and time consuming to correct the errors, and they may reappear each time you edit a dialog of your library. So in the current state, it is impractical to use for a professional project. IMHO the designer of dialog localization mechanism should review carefully its code and find out why there are errors when the files DialogStrings_xx_XX.properties are re-written. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
