Krusader Newsletter, 9 August 2009

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the second Krusader Newsletter of 2009 with news, views and information about recent developments and ongoing issues in the Krusader project. Our aim is to inform of recent developments, give a preview of upcoming features and to give our loyal users a direct line to the Krusader Krew.
Krusader-2.0.0 "Mars Pathfinder" released!
Krusader 2.0.0 is the first Krusader-stable for KDE4 [1].
The highlights are: all source code is ported to kDE4, the long awaited queue manager, five different sorting methods, predefined mouse selection modes, many bug-fixes.
This is also the first release that comes with experimental support for the Windows platform. Who thought that day would ever come?
A review can be found at tuxarena.com [2].

Krusader goes KDE Extragear !
Krusader has entered its new home in KDE Extragear SVN [3].
Further Krusader development takes place in KDE's SVN repository [4], so the SourceForge SVN repository is officially obsolete.
Special thanks goes to Fathi Boudra for handling the migration process!

Krusader-SVN development download
The latest up to date installation instructions can always be found in the INSTALL file [5].
The Krusader development version is called Krusader-2.1.0-SVN "Rusty Clutch", the name is a tribute to KDE Extragear since we are under way to the first gear.
Download the latest available Krusader-2.1.x SVN sourcecode with subversion:
| Code: | | $ svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/utils/krusader/ |
Please note that the above command doesn't download the GUI translations and the Krusader handbook, since their source code resides in other directories.
Here is a quick hack to get and install the German Krusader-GUI:
| Code: | $ wget http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/l10n-kde4/de/messages/extragear-utils/krusader.po
$ msgfmt krusader.po -o krusader.mo
$ su -c "cp krusader.mo /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/" |
Change "de" on your language code "foo" to get the proper translation of your preference.

Translating Krusader in KDE Extragear
Please join your KDE i10n team if you like to continue translate the Krusader GUI or the Krusader handbook [6] [7].

Krusader translation status in KDE Extragear
The Krusader translation status can be followed on a Wiki [8].
Current Krusader status: Currently no release schedule, Currently not in string freeze.
The translation status of the Krusader GUI can be monitored [9].
The translation status of the Krusader HANDBOOK can be monitored with several urls.
Because there are about twenty handbook pot files there are about twenty url's for the handbook
e.g. url [10] [11]
If you take a look you can see that KDE translation teams are working on Ukrainian, Swedish, Portuguese, German, and French Krusader handbooks!
We are not sure if one url exist that shows the complete i10 status of the handbook.
Location of the translation template files in KDE Extragear.
- The Krusader GUI pot file [12].
- A small Krusader GUI pot file for the Krusader icon [13].
- The Krusader Handbook pot files (+ other pot files of other projects) [14].
Some examples of translation files, these are the files that translators are working on (In this example the German translation):
Change "de" in your language code "foo" to check out your language "foo".
The German Krusader GUI and icon po file (krusader.po,desktop_extragear-utils_krusader.po not yet translated, and some other i10n po files) [15].
The German Krusader handbook po files (and some other i10n po files) [16].

Krusader Mac port with macports.org
Macports.org [17] is used for the Krusader Mac port. A Portfile [18] is provided for Krusader-2.0.0 "Mars Pathfinder".
Krusader on Mac OS X is an application bundle called krusader.app. you can double click it in Finder or use the "open" command in the terminal [19].
| Code: | | $ open /opt/local/bin/krusader.app |
To open it blocking and to see all the output you can also start the executable inside the bundle directly
| Code: | | $ /opt/local/bin/krusader.app/Contents/MacOS/krusader |
There is also a recent blog entry about installing Krusader on Mac using Macports [20].
