NB: 5.0 + "Matisse Update Pack for NetBeans 5.0" OS: all Matisse Update Pack: not easy to understand when "Automatic Internationalization" works It seems that "Automatic Internationalization" works (update .form) when checkbox is just turned on and which is not easy for understanding. I was thinking that it always works when I selected "Automatic Internationalization" and whenever gui component is dropped. Current behavior is, 1. Start IDE 2. Create a project 3. Put form 4. turn "Automatic Internationalization" to on 5. drop a button .form and Bundle.properties is not updated. 6. try preview .form and Bundle.properties is not updated. 7. try build .form and Bundle.properties is not updated. 8. turn "Automatic Internationalization" to off, then turn it to on again .form and Bundle.properties is not updated for button Is this correct behavior? If so, it's not easy for understanding. Shouldn't we provide more shorcut menu or button, other than properties window, to active the "Automatic Internationalization" feature??
version changed from dev to 5.0
A menu for switching the auto internationalization is worth considering (or some other more visible presentation), however the logic would remain the same. I don't understand what's not easy: When it is turned on, it internationalizes all strings in given form, and since then it makes sure all strings set by the user are internationalized. It just does not internationalize the default text of newly added components - that's not needed.
Closing an old issue, the things described here changed since then...
