Hi!
I'm currently changing the load/save code of KBabel and trying to
simplify it a bit.
I simply don't know what to do with find/replace in catalog manager. The
problem: it uses a different way to load the file just to speedup the
searching.
So I propose to use standard methods as used by KBabel:
1. Pros
- support for multiple file types
- support for partially broken files
- easier to maintain code
2. Cons
- real slowdown when searching - cca 2 times slower
- the current code stops ASAP when the result can be determined, but after
the change it would not be possible - another slowdown
Since the cons are serious for users, I'd like to hear your opinions.
Otherwise I would like to go for the change and maybe try to optimize the
standard load method.
