I actualized the german translation.
Doing this I recognized that in the configure menues are some bugs:
- the language does not change to actual selected language (tested with
german translation, which now should be actual) in the config
sub-menues, instead it is still english translation.
- for some items like option '19' (gaps config) there appears no
description in configure sub-menue.
- the headers at top of for the config menue columns don't appear, which
should probably be:
bb_conf_menu_toptext1=Setup
bb_conf_menu_toptext2='Current value'

Looks like the use of a colon is the problem. I'll switch the stuff around so that the new universal delimiter will henceforth be The Dreaded Ampersand. This means that people will not longer be allowed to use That Auspicious Character in any descriptive text. -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.

Thanks for spotting the problems. * I changed the delimiter for menu descriptors from : to @. That seems to fix the problem. (only because @ is not in use.) :-( * Also, there was an eval problem in bbmenu. I think we should be ok now. * And I added back the missing header line in the config menus. I think we're slowly getting this bad boy whipped into shape. It's looking more like bash code every day. -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.

That one is tricky because the data that is being displayed is still on the stack. I'll play more tonight. -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.

This should only =>happen if a change is made and 'revert' is NOT used before exiting. As described earlier, I changed bbconfmenu around so that we are now passing in the name of the array instead of the array values. It works and it solves that particular problem. Here's what's still left: * Nick, the problem you described above where you revert and then try to go Back is now fixed, but the problem with funny characters in the Main menu are still appearing. Manyana. * Also, this whole changing BBLANG thing is a bigger schmageggy than you might think. The way this is going to have to work is that I'm going to have to create a new global variable which will be a stack of variable names. The general solution won't buy us anything so maybe a simple list is all we really need. But the point is that there's more to this. The converversion I did tonight will also have to be done to bbmenu the same as it was done to bbconfmenu, and for the same reason. Is this making sense? I could get hit by a bus and I sort of hope that someone is picking this stuff up. Also, Markus, small syntax problem in lang/German/configure.lang. Please make sure you update.

I'm at 528 and I'm not seeing the problem. :-( The menu printing garbage problem was something I never specifically fixed, but when I went to the new bbmenu, the problem went away. The second problem with BB_CONFIG_MODIFIED not being properly set was fixed. Can you check where you're at? -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.

It reproduces so now I can fix it. BTW, mea culpa. I was changing the configure menu and not the adv conf menu. |
