Lupdate

GrahamL

Hi
Please could someone clarify the syntax for the lupdate command when not using a .pro file?
What I want to achieve is to pass lupdate a list of cpp files and to merge the result with another ts file - is this possible?
I have tried various combinations such as
@
lupdate files.txt -ts translations.txt

lupdate error: File 'translations.txt' has no recognised extension
@

Thanks

@
lupdate files.txt -ts translations.ts
@

Should do the merge if the file already exists, IIRC.

Hi
the translations.ts file has been created by running lupdate on a .pro file for a different project
I changed my command to
@
lupdate src -ts C:\MyProject\translations.ts

Where src is a folder containing c++ source
@

This command runs but the resulting translations.ts file only contains the translations found in the src folder

I see. I cannot chack right now how we did it in one of our projects, so I'll get inventive. Either try:
@
lupdate src my/file.pro -ts C:\MyProject\translations.ts
@

Where my/file.pro is the original pro file, or Create 2 separate ts files, translate them, release into qm and then install both in your app with QTranslator.

Thanks
I am also investigating the use of lconvert to merge the files
