Description Axel Bojer 2004-03-12 15:30:57 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages
Compiler:          Kbabel 1.3 
OS:          Linux

When i open the box named something like (Sorry if this dont exactly fit, I only have the norwegian translation of Kbabel):
setting-configure Dictionary-PO-auxilarity-files I have the opportunity of entering generic and expandable names like @PACKAGE@.po, @DIRn@ etc. But, although this worked for me in earlier versins of the program, in Kbabel 3.1 this just wont function. This means that I have to enter the path to the auxilarity-file manually for _each_ file i jump too during my translations. This of course is tedious and not as intended.
It would be very nice to have this working again :-)

I can confirm this. When using variables @PACKAGE@ and @DIRn@, they are replaced by a empty string.

I get the same error, using KDE 3.2.1 packages from Debian unstable.

Digging around in the KBabel source, I found the error. There was a change made to some virtual functions in kbabel/kbabeldict/searchengine.cpp a few months ago. It seems that this change was not propagated into the PoAuxiliary subclass, leaving this class with the empty default implementation.

I. Petrouchtchak reported a similar problem with the PO compendium on the KBabel mailing list.

I've created a patch that works for auxiliary files, and I think it will work for the PO compendium as well.

You are right, the interface has changed, but the modules were
not adapted. 

I've applied your patch, it looks OK. Thanks a lot!
