Hi, Kolbjørn Stuestøl (Mittwoch, 10. Oktober 2007, 21:34): > Added my translations Did you use a Windows editor? I'm pretty sure that after editing every line of the file contained a trailing "Carriage Return" character (CR aka \r aka ^M). > Looking at for example the file drop-shadow.xml in the test.patch the > only "normal" lines are the two first: > > --- src/filters/light_effects/drop-shadow.xml (revision 2107) > > +++ src/filters/light_effects/drop-shadow.xml (working copy) > > The next lines are marked for deletion with a minus sign (-): > > @@ -1,575 +1,581 @@ > > -<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > > - > > . > > - </sect3> > > -</sect2> > > > > Thereafter all lines, including my adding's, are signed with a plus > sign indicating this lines should be added: > > +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > > + > > +<!DOCTYPE sect2 PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" > > + "http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd"> The lines differ due to the invisible CR char. > > Hmm, trailing "^M"s in your modified files?!

Example: [ulf@linux] cat -v file-without-CR foo bar [ulf@linux] recode lat1..ibmpc file-without-CR [ulf@linux] cat -v file-without-CR foo^M bar^M [ulf@linux] recode ibmpc..lat1 file-without-CR [ulf@linux] cat -v file-without-CR foo bar So you just have to remove these characters. Maybe there's an editor option to do this automatically? (BTW, did you change/update your editor?) Otherwise, you can try: tr -d '\r' < input_file_with_CR > output_file_without_CR or perl -i -p -e 's/\r$//' file_with_CR or sed -e 's/\r//' input_file_with_CR > output_file_without_CR or recode ibmpc..utf8 file_with_CR after editing your files. (Check with "cat -v".) HTH Bye, Ulf _______________________________________________ Gimp-docs mailing list Gimp-docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-docs
