Findnrun 4.0.3 - a progressive finder - updated 2020-04-06

[step]

I (and all translators) do need locations.
- see context
- see what is no more actual (no context - no more needed)

Of course. Script updated to add locations. .pot file updated. I also moved some paragraphs across files to delete duplications.

please use headers ## and ### not just ** **
ex:
35 msgid "**Packages**"
381 msgid "Packages"

if ### packages there is one translation only.

I try to minimize unnecessary duplications as much as possible. The one you listed is the only one that I'm going to keep. The reason why is that where "**Packages**" occurs a level 3 header style would be "too much". The whole page comprises essentially three short paragraphs, and I don't want to add three headers between the paragraphs. In HTML I could use H5 or H6 headers instead, but mdview is limited to level 3 headers, so we have to live by that limitation and make the best of it. But again, "Packages" is the only such case I found.

@RSH - You should at least be able to search for shell commands. After findnrun starts and shows desktop applications, press F3 - it should change the list to shell commands. If it doesn't then we need to troubleshoot:
1. What puppy version are you running on?
2. Do you or did you have another version of findnrun installed? Which version?
3. Attach contents of your ~/.findnrunrc file.

Filmstrip documentation is located in /usr/share/doc/findnrun/examples/filmstrip/README.md. Open with mdview (preferred) or a text editor.
Here's a link to the online version of Filmstrip README.md

Findnrun user documentation is located in /usr/share/doc/findnrun/. Open by pressing F1 in findnrun main window, or open file index.md directly with mdview or a text editor.

Thanks for trying, keep feedback coming.

Hi step.

Thanks for the reply.

@1.
I'm running findnrun in different Puppies (some are remastered, some not) from Lucid-528-4 up to Vivid beta2.

@2.
I'm running findnrun as a RoxApp from my external RoxApps Directory by a Menu Entry in a Menu Pipe. If there is a findnrun installed the it was done by the Puppy Creator/Builder. Currently I'm running tahr 6.0.2; findnrun seems not to be installed here.

@3.
Currently I don't have a ~/.findnrunrc file as I'm still running 1.10.8. Haven't tested yet the new 2.0.0 again.

Though I did run into another different issue related to the symbolic links made to icons. That symbolic links are placed in /root/.icons.

I wanted to give this a different location (e.g. /root/.findnrun/.icons as /root/.icons contains the Mouse Cursor Themes)

So I replaced .icons by .findnrun/.icons inside the findnrun script.

No success!

The symbolic links still appearing in /root/.icons.

What am I doing wrong here?

What am I doing wrong here?

I don't know, sorry. Please note that I can only support findnrun 1.10.6 and 2.0.0, which can change the icon path by setting the path in file ~/.findnrun. FSR supports version 1.8.0 in his Find'N'Run thread, I think. Interim versions aren't supported.

..Script updated to add locations. .pot file updated...

downloaded https://github.com/step-/find-n-run/blo ... ndnrun.pot

Code: Select all

# file findnrun.pot
findnrun.pot: HTML document, UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines

@L18L, for downloading use the raw page.

When you're viewing a page on github, press the "raw" button then right click and save the raw page.

Please, did I write the html page link somewhere? I can't remember if I did and where.

@step
thank you for the "use raw" hint.
@all

Code: Select all

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/step-/find-n-run/master/usr/share/doc/nls/findnrun/findnrun.pot

does the job.

Findnrun is a general finder packaged as an application starter script
that displays system applications in a graphical window. Search results
are refined and displayed incrementally as you type into a search input
field. With the aid of external plugins findnrun can be extended to
search through other data collections.

Thus translation will never be used.
Is it just my files that mismatch?

EDIT
Yes, sorry, my failure, downloaded version 2.0 matches.

Wow, thank you, L18L!
I'm excited, it's the first application that gets a localized markdown help file. Of course, the absolute record goes to the Fatdog64 help file that you translated a few weeks ago
I will package this translation soon and link it as revision 1 of the findnrun NLS package download.

This works thanks to mdview's "magic". First mdview reconstructs a whole paragraph from markdown text, then it matches the paragraph against the message catalog. This means that the translation will still work even if the source paragraph is reformatted to a different line length - as long as the paragraph doesn't get split into two or more paragraphs. It's kind of neat, I think.

Findnrun version 2.1.0 date 2016-03-11 is available. See post #1.

[step]

Added Italian translation 2.1.0 by xanad. Thank you!

[Pelo]

çà vaudrait le coup de traduire tout cela en français.
It would not be a waste of my time to translate this topic to french...
Or italian will be enough, i think, for my personal usage..
pets include french... c'est tout bon

[step]

The French translation is behind the current version. It would be great if someone could update it. PM me for instructions

[Pelo]

don't hurry to translate to french. Only if requested by poor users whose english knowledge has gone away since school lessons. nowadays my colleagues are proud to type linux commands in a terminal, Their english level is higher than mine.
I was talking about translating this topic, to understand how-to use cleverly (?) the system. Translation of the application itself will be enough, unless numerous demands fall in our forum.
