Bug 86713

Do you have any idea how to ease the configuration?

The current one is aimed at flexibility - because
sources can be structured very differently.

Hi,
Use KURLRequester class as a directory chooser for "Base folder for source code".
The KURLRequester mode should be KFile::Directory|KFile::ExistingOnly.

Currently KBabel does not check if the typed directory actually exists.

SVN commit 465925 by goutte:

Use a URL requester instead of a simple line edit widget for the
base path of the source code
CCBUG:86713
(This does not close the bug, as the bug reporter wnats some more help,
but we are in message freeze.)

Manuel, try setting the base source folder to: /home/manuel/entw/orthanc/ and add "@CODEROOT@/src/" to the list of "Path Patterns" - actually it should be enough if it's the only one. But not that you lose the only "documentation" there by removing the other @KEYWORDS@.. ;)

HTH.

I have fixed a few problems with the source references, including the bugs #114041 and #116393.

As your project seems to be GNU-like, you could add following rule (however only in the current development version, which will be KBabel 1.11.1 of KDE 3.5.1):
@POFILEDIR@/../@COMMENTPATH@

(This new rule is now part of the default rules for new projects.)

Have a nice day!

As the KDE Bugs' censor has passed here, please read:

(at)POFILEDIR(at)/(dot)(dot)/(at)COMMENTPATH(at)

See also bug #85885 which asks for a full documentation of the "source" configuration dialog.

For older KBabel versions, you can use:
(at)PACKAGEDIR(at)/(dot)(dot)/(at)COMMENTPATH(at) 

Ad for a GNU(-like) project, you cannot use the catalog manager, it will not make a difference.

Meanwhile, the documentation has been updated. (It will be released with KDE 3.5.1.)

Have a nice day!

KBabel is no longer maintained, please use the KDE 4 translator's tool called
"Lokalize" instead. For more information, please visit
http://userbase.kde.org/Lokalize

If this is a request for a feature which is also missing in Lokalize, please add a comment so that I can reassign the request to the Lokalize authors. You could also file a new request for Lokalize.
