Re: [Bashburn-info] Something funky in the config menu

[Steven W. O. <st...@sy...>]

Ok. First of all, the variable bb_menu_adv was not defined for all 
languages. This means that Option 6 of the main menu would come up blank 
unless it was English or Swedish. I fixed that by using bb_conf_menu_adv 
instead.

=>I noticed some weird behaviour in the config menu.
=>
=>I switched from English to Swedish and applied my changes without
=>exiting the config menu. When choosing an option in the config menu, the
=>description is now in Swedish as it should be. I can exit the config
=>menu, go back to it and the descriptions are in Swedish still. 

I traced that back to BashBurn.sh which is doing this:

source_language_modules
. ${BBROOTDIR}/misc/configure_temp_help.lang

We call source_language_modules to set the variables to be in the proper 
language and *then* we source in configure_temp_help.lang which overwrites 
some of the variables we defined. I just commented it out because if the 
default is to provide text in English then I thought we were already doing 
that just before calling source_language_modules.

if [[ ! -d ${BBROOTDIR}/lang/${BBLANG} ]]
then
    blah...
    sleep 3s
    # Since the set language did not exist,
    # set it to English and save the option
    # so that in the future this message is not
    # shown again.
    BBLANG=English
    apply_options
fi

So I'm at a loss to understand what the purpose is of C_T_H.lang and since 
it contains duplicate variable defs, it absolutely should be deleted. No?

=>Should I shut down BB, start it again and then enter the config menu,
=>the menu itself is still in Swedish, but the descriptions are now in
=>English. Very strange.

Fixed by commenting out . ${BBROOTDIR}/misc/configure_temp_help.lang

=>I also notice that when the Swedish descriptions do show up, they use
=>colors as they should. For instance when choosing whether to use
=>normalize or not, yes is colored in green and no in red. In the english
=>descriptions colors are never used. 

I'll look at that.

=>
=>Finally, in the advanced menu, no option descriptions are ever printed. 

AFAIK, the option descriptions never existed. Do you know were they might 
have existed in svn history?
