Any feedback would be appreciated. I committed it, since the patch itself was ok. Maybe it should have been attempted to come to one implementation for free/open/net in bsd.pas though. What I was hinting above maybe the sysutils code should use MONOTONIC_FAST, not MONOTONIC on FreeBSD. Granularity worsens, but performnace improves. It depends on what the sysutils routine is supposed to favor. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
Re: [Lazarus] Fuzzy translations ignored

No, it would be an advantage for the users because they don't get inferior quality or incorrect translations... Rather, it makes it painfully clear that the translator has not finished 100% of the translation. A change from "Exit" to "Quit" (it happened) marks the translation fuzzy, and this may go unnoticed by many translators. Is it a good reason not to show the old translation? I'm afraid that users unfamiliar with Latin alphabet (such as Chinese, Russians, arabs, etc.) will hardly agree with your opinion. Apparently not showing fuzzy translations is the standard way in other open source projects. I remember a bug report that probably kicked off the change referring to that (but don't know the mantis number). msgfmt provides the flag -f to accommodate the need to show fuzzy translations. Regardless of the setting, fuzzy strings will have to be dealt with and (as both a developer and translator) I'm happy that Laz now aligns with general practice. On this point I fully agree with you. It would be nice if the steps before any release did include a quick check to the po files just to verify the amount of fuzzy and untranslated strings, in order to alert translators accordingly. Pochecker might be improved to provide a more user friendly quick full view of the status of all the translations in a folder, sort of what KBabel provided in the past. I'll look into it.

It might not be the best answer you were looking for but when I recompile lazarus I issue this command make clean lazbuild useride starter It install the packages that I previously added. -goldenfox Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2014 10:58:31 +0100 From: vfcli...@gmail.com To: lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org Subject: [Lazarus] Script to install set of libraries after compiling a new build of Lazarus?

[Lazarus] Help needed with bug 22485 ContextHelpDemo doesn't show proper help page & shows errors
With Lazarus trunk x86, FPC trunk, Windows, the CHM help demo Starting lhelp (using F1 in the Tedits or the button) gives "Help Viewer Error", lhelp does not respond. 1. Is this reproducible on other OSes/FPC combinations? 2. I've tried to investigate the cause but I'm stuck. My notes below - help/hints would be appreciated. Thanks. The error message shown is: Dialog: caption: Help Viewer Error text: lhelp does not respond lclconstants: rsHelpViewerError = 'Help Viewer Error'; lazhelpintf.pas procedure THelpDatabases.ShowError(ShowResult: TShowHelpResult; const ErrMsg: string); //if ShowResult is shrViewerError: ErrorCaption:=rsHelpViewerError; ... MessageDlg(ErrorCaption,ErrMsg,mtError,[mbCancel],0); So apparently we get an shrViewerError somewhere but I cannot find where THelpDatabases.ShowError is called? lazhelpchm.pas does have function TLHelpConnector.ShowNode(Node: THelpNode; var ErrMsg: string ): TShowHelpResult; //fallback/default Result:=shrViewerError; //later on: Response:=Connection.OpenURL(CHMFilename,SubPath); case Response of .. srNoAnswer: ErrMsg:='lhelp does not respond'; So apparently we get an srNoAnswer in our OpenURL call?? At the lhelp end: In lhelpcore.pas with debugging enabled, I see entries like got rturl, filename C:\development\lazarus\tools\chmmaker\example.chm, url /MainPage.html and the function sends srSuccess so we get proper handling in THelpForm.ServerMessage?!? (The OpenURL function CANNOT return srNoAnswer - default result is srInvalidURL; srNoAnswer is never assigned??) -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
