This brings up an interesting question... is it possible to install a
plug-in in the user's directory, and have translations managed by
gettext? Where do the .mo files get installed in this case, and how can
one make gettext aware of them?

Cheers,
Dave.

Try automake 1.8.5. It should built without problems on MinGW. I ran into a
problem with automake-1.8.2 (which is the latest from the MinGW site), so it
should be considered to require 1.8.5 on Win32.

I might be wrong, but doesn't such a plug-in exist already?

We will start working on it as soon as 2.2 has been released. So that
should be far enough away in the future for you not to wait on it.

Please update to automake 1.7.9. Sorry, but attempting to compile gimp
on win32 using such an outdated version automake seems silly.

Upgrading to autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.8.5 did the trick, thanks.

This is all already handled. Just have a look at gimp-plugin-template
or gimp-freetype. You can install everything but the actual plug-in
executable into whatever prefix you specify.

Not a very interesting question...

One exists for dcraw (Canon's raw format). Don't know if that
would work on the other formats.

Shouldn't we consider including that in the main distribution for
2.2, since that type of format is now more & more widespread?
Who's the author?

[Gimp-developer] Wording in German: Toolbox

2004-07-26 Thread Roman Joost
This mail is for "translating" the Toolbox into German. I wasn't sure
how to translate the Toolbox to German for the manual. But
please, hold your breath and let me explain why.

I was digging a bit around in the net to find out, which word is more
used for the Toolbox: "Werkzeugfenster" or "Werkzeugkasten". The most
tutorials I found are using "Werkzeugkasten", even Sven uses
"Werkzeugkasten" in his book. But "Werkzeugfenster" is often more used
in forums, when people try to describe a problem and they aren't
familiar with The GIMP.

I spoke to Ellen to find out what she think. She said, that
"Werkzeugfenster" will be more descriptive. "Werkzeugkasten" is a bit
odd, because she have to think first, what I'm refering to. Thats
exactly my feeling. If I were a new user, "Werkzeugfenster" will be a more
descriptive word for the Toolbox than "Werkzeugkasten". But, maybe I'm
totally wrong and other may think of a completly different
window/dialog?

So, what do you guys think: "Werkzeugfenster" or "Werkzeugkasten"?

Thanks,

Let's vote!

[ ] Werkzeugfenster

My vote goes for "Werkzeugfenster".

I suggest you bring this up on the gnome-i18n mailing-list. Other apps
are most likely using this string as well and the best solution is to
use a consistent translation. I am sure you already checked the german
glossary maintained by the GTP, didn't you?

I prefer Werkzeugkasten simply because the window that is displaying
the tools is not necessarily exclusively occupied by tools.

It would be nice to be prove wrong, but I am not aware of such a plugin.
Dave's (dcraw author) own "plugin" is just a simple "text like" interface o dcraw.
My work is based on PTJ rawphoto, but it is already much better, I believe. Have 
a look at http://pages.quicksilver.net.nz/pepe/d70/Nikon_D70_on_Linux.html
if you like.

I don't speak German, but Werkzeugfenster sounds cooler than
Werkzeugkasten.  In fact, I wouldn't mind a "Werkzeugfenster" T-shirt.
