XPIInfo - combined plugin to get info about xpi-files

[TychoBarfy]

2SeLarin, could you implement to choose the font size?

[menet]

Just treat XPIInfo.wdx as WLX and it will work. I have some reasons to include both parts (Lister+Content) in one file...

Thanks that works right now

I have to edit the xpiinfo.ini to use the French in the lister (with Template=Text_fr.tmpl). That must be done TC stopped to be taken in account.

I miss always somethings :
- I know how to use the Tooltips (see a previous entry); it is in French if I use French data in the TC configuration.
- I know how to use with Lister in French (see on top) with the tmpl French file created under Templates declared in xpiinfo.ini file.
- But, when is it used the lng file created under Languages ?
- When are used the data from Fra section created in XPIInfo.lng file ?
- When is it used the Templates\bbCode_XX.tmpl files ?

Sorry if all that is already documented inside the Russian help file.

1. One can change Language or template from the popup menu (right-click in Lister window).

2. fra section from XPIInfo.lng is used by TC when it shows field names.

Thanks for the explanation. I understand now.

We have problems with special French characters (in UTF-8), they are bad displayed in the contextual menu.

Should I create a new French.lng file without these characters or will you correct your plugin ?

There is also the problem in the Lister for the {languages}. I have also translated them (also in French.lng) and now several of them contains these type of characters.

I have not understood what are the functions of :
- Auto Save (Save Automatically..., Save Errors, Append to File)
- RexExp for Translator... (Input regular expression to determine extension's translator). I have tried but haven't seen what is the effect
- Where is written "XPIInfo Options"

2menet,

RexExp for Translator
Does this work, if you insert this into xpiinfo.ini and uncomment the other TranslatorRE lines?

TranslatorRE=\b(fr-FR|(?i)(french|fran))

2SeLarin,
revised the german templates to give a better overview:

2TychoBarfy,
I have already updated the xpiinfo.ini file to add a line like you propose : TranslatorRE=\b(fr-FR|(?i)(french|fran)), and commented the previous one.

Then if I click on RexExp for Translator, it propose to me in answer "\b(fr-FR|(?i)(french|fran))" but after doing OK, what is the effect ?

In your ZIP file you use also special characters in German.lng : ä, Ü, ü, ö, ß, á, å ... But your file is not in UTF-8 format (with or without BOM). Do these characters are well shown with the plugin ?

...

This in your case shows, if there is a french locale in the xpi, the name of the french translator, if not, "Unknown" will be displayed.

In your ZIP file you use also special characters in German.lng : ä, Ü, ü, ö, ß, á, å ... But your file is not in UTF-8 format (with or without BOM). Do these characters are well shown with the plugin ?

Yes, these chatacters are shown as they should.

My plugin is not Unicode-compatible and it can't show any Unicode (or UTF-8 ) characters. One should create translations and templates using ASCII characters only. "Special" national characters will be shown correctly if appropriate locale is chosen on user system.
TranslatorRE is used when plugin tries to determine a translator of an extension.
AutoSave is a feature that allow to save data about extensions into the specified file when viewing it in Lister or in QuickView. When "Append To File" is switched on data will be collected in the file. Try to play with this options.

2TychoBarfy
Thanks! I'll update this files in future version.

[menet]

Thanks for your reply.

I have recreated the French files in BabelZilla :Click here to download the ZIP file
The BabelZilla answer
Note that I have re-uploaded the file 2 times because I had miss one bad character.

What does the "Save Errors" check ?
What type of errors is it ?

I believe it will be my last requests...

When plugin retrieve ibfo from xpi file some errors may occur (for example when no install.rdf in jar-package). Plugin show an error message in Lister in such case. "Save Errors" denotes whether error messages would be saved or not. This option have effect on the AutoSave feature.

[SeLarin]

...could you implement to choose the font size?

This feature is planned.

Hello!!!

Thank you for report. I didn't get any error with this extension but I have slightly different version of the XPIInfo installed. I know that in some cases XPIInfo may cause exceptions but they are not reproducible. So I can't found an immediate cause of these errors.
In addition I have no access to my computer at present. So I'll be able to correct some errors and present new version (new version is practically ready to be presented) of the plugin only in 2008.

[SeLarin]

I've released "new" version of the XPIInfo. Only slovak translation (thanks to Peter from SlovakSoft) has been added.
