One of potool's (which potooledit uses internally) goals when it was written was to use it as a po file normalization utility. I think that is one of the reasons it reformats all msgids and msgstrs. Looking at the code, I think it would be a significant task to make it preserve the original line wrappings. However I could try and introduce an option which would let you control the column at which strings are wrapped instead. So if your input file is consistently wrapped, then using potooledit with the right option should make it introduce minimal (or no) changes to how the text is wrapped. Do you think it would be enough to fix your issue? -- Marcin Owsiany <porri...@debian.org> http://marcin.owsiany.pl/ GnuPG: 1024D/60F41216 FE67 DA2D 0ACA FC5E 3F75 D6F6 3A0D 8AA0 60F4 1216 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
