Of many things and one

[runab]

Long time since this page saw some activity. *sigh*. This could have been a post of many things, like:

How stress induced fatigue (my dad's words not mine) caused me to sleep for nearly 36 hours at a stretch

The updates to the Gnome Mango system done by Olav Vitters and account system documentation done by Christian Rose has made things so easy

Regarding IRC channel operators, I agree. On channels where I have operator rights (+o), I never stay as an operator. I switch to operator, do whatever task is needed, then switch back to normal user mode. Aside from it being good practice to not hang out in the world in admin mode, it is mainly as you say -- it striates the channel, especially when a big chunk are operators and others are not.

About Translation-Filter, I thought Transifex did that already? I cannot pull up the site right now, but Dimitris added similar functionality to Tx. If Kushal's new tool does more, maybe we can get it integrated with the site, too.

The singular point about Translation-Filter is that it allows offline usage. So, one can have a persistent USB preloaded with Fedora plus the tool, the .po file checkout and a wordlist and get working anywhere. That's a real good way to spend time at various stages of idling.

http://l10n.fedoraproject.org/search --yep works. Thanks for pointing to it. Probably the output format could be customized a bit more. Personally I like the presentation format on the kde website and translation-filter is more in tune with it.

Secondly, we wanted an offline tool independent of translation projects. We could also customize the search paths. Perhaps we could enhance the feature list and see how it goes. Thanks!

Another version of translation-filter

[santhoshtr]

Here is my version of translation-filter ;). Only one line of code :)

1. To search recursively in folders, and to print filename, line number, msgid and msgstr with colored fileds and highlighted search pattern:

grep --color -nTwrC3 "give-your-search-pattern-here" . 2> /dev/null

2 .The same with patterns given in a textfile- one pattern per line

grep --color -nTwrC3 -f "give-your-filename-here" . 2> /dev/null

If you don't want to type all these stuff, save the above line to a translation-filter.sh and replace the pattern/pattern-file argument with $1 and run the shell script with those things as arguments

Pipe it to a file if you want to save the result..

We can consider creating a PO compendium too...
