Hi gimp docs authors,
please if you work with images in the manual double check that the file reference you use is valid! Unfortunately the make process for html is not aware of missing images or misspelled references right now. I just wanted to create a fresh set of pdf documents for the different languages and had to find out that there are lots of unsatisfied image references in the xml files. Each of them takes 20 minutes or so to fix, because you get only one per make - try :( If one would consequently have a look to the html files of the sections one changed *before* creating a patch, one would probably see the missing images! Having a look to the result of a new written / translated or changed section is the least work each of us should to in terms of quality assurance.
Well, now I'm going to hunt the next invalid reference - no new pdf version today :(
greetings lexa

You definitly have a point here Axel.
I'll try to come up with a more automatic solution. A small script should do the work and shouldn't be to hard to implement. That will raise the validation time, but will certainly improve the quality of our source code.

If we are at this topic by now, I think a check which of the files (images) in our src and images directories are really referenced from some xml file would allow us to throw unused images out. This could save us some space since I guess over time there were some orphans "created".

Yeah - thats what I thought as well. I'm on it. If nothing interferes my work I could probably come up with something today evening.

Hopefully I hacked something usefull together. Works for me very well, but before I add it to the CVS I really want to know if it works for others. You can download it from:
http://www.romanofski.de/downloads/validateReferences.py
I really want to know if the script works as well as for me.
Installation:
Just drop it in the root of the gimp-help-2 directory and run it by:
python validateReferences.py
This should spill out xml files which have broken references. You can call it with the '-i' option to check for orphaned image files. A help is also available by using the '-h' option.
The script uses either the python default xml stuff or lxml. I prefer the latter one, because it has no awful side effects as the normal libxml bindings in python. Well, whatever you prefer ...
Feel free to hack this script :)

Hi Roman,
great work! Unfortunately there seems to be a python package missing, question is wich one and where to get it from:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "validateReferences.py", line 26, in ?
from xml import xpath
ImportError: cannot import name xpath

I like it to answer myself :)
so, I installed pyxml-py24 and it worked like a charm.
Just two minor wishes: - when a missing image ref is found I'd prefer a bit more structured output like:
file ./src/dialogs/channel-selection-mask.xml
contains invalid references to
file ./src/dialogs/path-dialog.xml
contains invalid references to
- if the script is started with the -h argument, it shows the help but seems to start running with the default running?! It should just exit instead shouldn't it?
Greetings,
leXa

Hi Roman ...
since I suggested a tools/ dir for my translation-helping scripts
already, maybe you'd like to put both scripts in such a dir?

After installing python-pyxml-0.8.4-2mdk on my Mandriva 2006 and
validating my scratch xml files, validateReferences works fine.
Two remarks:
- Is it possible to validateReferences for one language only?
- I prefer to keep validateReferences out of "make validate": When
validating my work, I have to "make validate" several times in a row,
and that's long enough! No need to validateReferences every time.

Oh...as soon as the other scritp I mentioned is in CVS you willbe able to do that - just separate the XML files for the langauge(s)s of interest, and run it for that xml only.

Well, working with the separator script would require you to issue it manually anyway - as it should run over another XML file, not the source one.
