Todo for Gtranslator 2.0

[Sean Burke]

    I have a few things that I want to see happen before we get to
release. Since these are things that I would like to foster discussion
on, I'm sending this to the list.

    I'm working on cleaning up preferences right now. I'd like to check
on a few things before I remove them. I'm assuming that all of the PO
header settings can be removed now that we have the work on profiles. Do
we need the "Take my options" preference for the header or can we just
assume we should use the active profile? If not, I'll remove the
relevant tab from the Header dialog. The "Keep obsolete" preference has
been removed from the interface, it seems, so I'll removed it from the
source. I also plan on fixing some strings and cleaning up the
preferences interface a little.

    The next issue is the View menu. As far as I can tell, this doesn't
do anything useful that can't be done through the interface with as many
or fewer clicks. I personally think we need to get rid of it unless
anyone can think of a solid reason to keep it around.

    I talked briefly with Pablo about this today but we also need new
docs and icons. We can ask the doc team about the former and the Tango
folks about the latter if arrangements haven't already been made.

    Please, any feedback that anyone can give would be highly
appreciated. Thanks.

I don't have any good suggestions this time, but I must remember that
it's very easy for translators to write wrong stuff to the header, or to
forget to write good stuff. We should have some way to remember the
translators what settings are being written to the header (or header
comments). One crazy idea, just to illustrate: a confirmation dialog
before overwriting stable fields like language-team; and a dialog for
trivial things like changing the last-translator field.

The other cleanups look good.

I think we should keep "Take my options" so that translators can choose
if they want that these header fields are filled by themselves or
automatically from the active profile.

Yes I have some one, I think is necessary because it's important to give
the users the possibility of doing the things in a different way.
Besides this menu is useful in order to select if you want to see the
translations memory panel and the plugins.
