I translate sometimes wordpress plugins. I do not need a Project file. IMHO open a POT file should force an autocratically check for language files in the same directory and list them in the overview (instant project). If possible I would like to set-up a second save directory for .mo files. I used pedit earlier and was until now not able to create .mo files here in lokalize. I would like to vote for a solution. where project settings like other directory’s where saved in the comment section inside the .pot file.
