• It can search for word(s) in a given directory or some selected files. The result will be saved as an HTML file or can also be seen in the command line. By using this features one can check consistency of usage
• It can create single word based list from the given .po files. It will contain both the term and translated string(s)

lekhonee is a desktop client for WordPress.
The new features of this release are:

* Add Category
* Spell Check enable/disable
* Edit last entry

I never blogged about a few last releases, I moved the codebase to PyKDE4. It is using KWallet service to store the password. If you don’t want to use kwallet (like you are a gnome user), it will ask you to type-in the details every time.

Download tarball, F-10 rpm (pushed to stable), F-11 rpm

Main reason is to add spellcheck support, which looks very easy in KDE land than Qt.

On the other side, I was looking for a photo catalogue software which can catalogue my photos on DVD or any other removable media, it should  also allow me to search them based on EXIF data and tags and should show thumbnail(s) in the result.
I generally use digikam and gthumb too manage and view the photos. In digikam I never being properly able to catalogue photos on DVD (never tried on the last few updates) and gthumb is too slow in showing the thumbnail or full screen views for the large size photos I take. I prefer gthumb over over digikam to view the photos due to the simpler UI.

Finally decided to write my own app for this, which will *not* have any editing features, Gimp is the tool I use for editing. Watch this video (3.2MB) and please comment if the  thumbnail creation / viewing is fast or not ?

• Implementing the Jukebox ideas
• Work on more PyQt videos

Also found the third eye: Can you find me in that ?

The scope of development is to create a rudimentary tool that can allow comparing the quality of string translations in an offline mode. For example, the KDE Project uses a web based tool that allows strings to be searched in translated content.

The current set of requirements for this offline tool are:

+ to be able to take as input a directory path containing multiple .po files
+ to be able to take as input an English string or word to be searched within the .po files collection
+ to be able to display every occurring instance of the English string or word along with equivalent translated string
+ to be able to display the name of the files being searched
+ to be able to save the search result set in an .html file

It uses PyQt4 for the gui, used QWebView to render the result. You will also require translate-toolkit (at least 1.0.1 version, available in Fedora 9).

Among the new features (mostly in the command line version) , using -t or –term you can search for any single term.  You can even check for unattached dependent vowel signs of Indic languages using -d option.

liveusb-creator version 2.7 for Linux is released. You can grab the source or a rpm. Now feel free to create liveusb images for your friends and for the special one :)
