Implement preliminary support for XDG Base Directory Specification. See http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html. This feature was requested for a long time (feature requests #1950978 and #2289481). For now, it is disabled since it breaks compatibility with previous versions. To be able to test it, you have to enable it by defining USE_XDG to 1 in main.h. geeqierc and other conf files are going to: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/geeqie/ (default to $HOME/.config/geeqie/). metadata and thumbnails cache (if std is not used) are going to: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/geeqie/metadata/ (default to $HOME/.cache/geeqie/metadata/) and $XDG_CACHE_HOME/geeqie/thumbnails/ (default to $HOME/.cache/geeqie/thumbnails/) collections are going to: $XDG_DATA_HOME/geeqie/collections/ (default to $HOME/.local/share/geeqie/collections/) Please test and report any issue.

Translators create a translation by creating the appropriate .po file in the /po
directory. Please see the gettext info pages for an overview and instructions.
Basically: Add your language code to the   ALL_LINGUAS=   line in configure.in,
then get started translating the strings in your ??.po file.
Note: The strings for debug output is intentionally not marked for translation.

To update a specific translation, one may use make update-po PO=[lang]  (ie. make update-po PO=fr).

To update all translation files, use make update-po.
You should only use it when needed (before a release or when there were many
changes in source code).



Helper scripts:

gen_translations_stats.sh	generate statistics about translations
regen_potfiles.sh		generate a patch to sync POTFILES.in with current source files
