<h1>Preferences and Catalog Settings</h1>
<a name="prefs">
<h3>Preferences Dialog</h3>
(Available through <b>File/Preferences</b> in the menu.)
<p>
In preferences, you can
<p>
<ul>
<li>Set your name and e-mail address. This is used to fill int
`Last Translator' record in catalog's header.
<p>
<li>Affect poEdit's behavior -- enable or disable automatic
.mo files saving and enable or disable showing of update summary.
<p>
<li>(Warning: for experienced users only!) Most importantly, you can
edit source code parsers in this dialog. Parsers are used when
updating catalogs in poEdit (see <a href="update.html">Updating Catalog</a>)
and they take care of extracting strings from source code. By default
only C and C++ programming languages are supported (through
gettext <tt>xgettext</tt> utility). The dialog for editing parsers explains
in detail how to fill in required information -- if in doubt, refer to
C/C++ parser which may serve as a complex example of parser definition.
</ul>
<a name="catalog">
<h3>Catalog Settings</h3>
(Available through <b>Catalog/Settings</b> in the menu.)
<p>
This dialog lets you edit catalog specific settings. "Project info"
page contains information from catalog's header and the only really
important information here is the charset.
<p>
"Paths" and "Keywords" pages are meaningful only if you are going to
use the <a href="update.html">catalog update feature</a>. "Paths" page lets
you specify in what directories should parsers look for source file. Note
that the paths in list box are relative to the base path, so if you set
basepath to <tt>../../poEdit</tt> and add these two paths into the list box:
<pre>
src
include
</pre>
it will recursively search for source files in following directories:
<pre>
../../poEdit/src
../../poEdit/include
</pre>
The base path is relative to the directory where .po catalog file resists.
<p>
"Keywords" let you specify additional keywords understood by the parser.
See <a href="gettext/intro.html">gettext documentation</a> for the meaning
of keywords. By default, <tt>xgettext</tt> parser understands <tt>_</tt>,
<tt>gettext</tt> and <tt>gettext_noop</tt> keywords. You may leave this
page empty.
<p>
Note that specifying language or editing anything at "Paths" or "Keywords"
panels will cause poEdit to save .po.poedit file.
