Wrapping my head around it (with all the good help and manuals) took me some time, and every time I had git problem, my enthusiasm cooled down a little. Many a times I just backed up my changed files, deleted the local folder and downloaded the repository from scratch. All the while I wasn't translating. The last thing that did it for me was some .gif image that was originally saved as .GIF then somehow became .gif. Git treated them differently and couldn't commit my changes because one file wasn't there, but the file was there with just a different letter case. I am on windows, where case doesn't matter. Deleting or renaming the files just made matters worse. So, take-away point should be consistent case (i.e. all small) for committed files. My guess is the image was created in Paint, which saves the file with capital case extension. I think move to po was a great idea. But I found editor functionality lacking. Tried poedit and lokalize, decided to use lokalize, which has good translation memory management, but crashes if you sneeze at it. If I spend any of little free time researching other editors, I am not translating. On the contributor page recommended software section would be great. _______________________________________________ Gimp-docs mailing list Gimp-docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-docs
