Description Nicolas Goutte 2005-10-29 00:55:29 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

KBabel should be less aggressive with the author lines in the header comment when saving a PO file.

If the author line already exist, it should stay where it is, not break comments on authors (e.g. Gettext's fr.po).

(Same with the FSF copyright line, which seems to be moved too, however I am not sure yet if it is by the author line code.)

This wish brings the question where should be placed a new author.

At the end of the header comment might be below a comment about the file (e.g. Gettext's de.po). Adding the author directly below the last author might be in front of comments about the previous author. (Perhaps the solution is at the first empty line after the last author.)

Have a nice day!

SVN commit 475581 by goutte:

Be careful that a copyright line is not an author line
CCBUG:115295
(That is more a temporary solution of not moving the copyright line.)
