<para>
The Catalog Manager merges two folders into one tree and displays
all the <acronym>PO</acronym> and <acronym>POT</acronym> files in
these folders. The display allows you to easily see if a new
template has been added or an old one has been removed. Some
information is shown along with each file name: total number of
entries, number of fuzzy entries, number of untranslated entries, the
date of the last revision and the last translator of the file.
</para>
<important><para>
KBabel's Catalog Manager is meant for projects structured like KDE,
where the <acronym>POT</acronym> and <acronym>PO</acronym> files
share a same name, save the extensions. However this is not the
case of &GNU; projects and of many projects structured like &GNU; ones.
Typically in such projects, the <acronym>PO</acronym> file is named
following the language code and so is very different than the name
of the <acronym>POT</acronym> files. Also such projects have
one <acronym>POT</acronym> file sharing a directory with all its
translated <acronym>PO</acronym> files. Unfortunately, all these reasons
mean that the Catalog Manager is <emphasis>not</emphasis> suitable for
such projects. (See <ulink url="http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76495">KDE bug #76495</ulink>.)
</para></important>
<para>
To make it easier for you to find files that need work or are
missing the status of each file is also displayed using an icon:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="catalogmanager_ok.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject>
</inlinemediaobject> All the messages in this file are translated.</para>

If an icon is marked with this icon

it indicates that this file or folder does not exist in the
folder of the <acronym>POT</acronym> files.</para>
<para> You can mark or unmark a file by selecting <guimenuitem>Toggle
Marking</guimenuitem> in the context menu of a file.</para>
<para>If you want to toggle or remove all markings in a folder,
press the right mouse button over the folder and select
<guimenuitem>Toggle Markings</guimenuitem> or <guimenuitem>Remove
Markings</guimenuitem>. The markings are automatically saved when
leaving &kbabel;.</para>
<para>To open a file either double-click on the file, select
<menuchoice><guimenuitem>Open</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the
context menu or press either <keycap>Return</keycap> or <keycombo
action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>O</keycap> </keycombo>.</para>
<para>You can configure the &catalogmanager; by
<menuchoice><guimenu>Project</guimenu><guimenuitem>
Configure...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.
See section <link linkend="preferences-project-settings">Project Settings</link> for more
details.</para>
<sect1 id="catman-features">
<title>&catalogmanager; Features</title>
<para>
Besides the main feature for opening the files in &kbabel; &catalogmanager;
supports number of other features for maintaining a tree of
<acronym>PO</acronym>-files.
</para>
<sect2 id="catman-find">
<title>Find and replace in multiple files</title>
<para>
One of the most requested features for &kbabel; was a possibility to search and replace in
multiple files at once. &catalogmanager; supports this feature with
a tight integration with &kbabel;
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="catman-statistics">
<title>Statistics</title>
<para>
&catalogmanager; can show you a number of statistics about a single file
or about the whole folders. The statistics contain number of files,
how many of the files have their templates, how many templates are missing.
It also counts number of messages in the files and shows statistics about
how large parts of the messages are translated, fuzzy-translated or
untranslated.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="catman-syntax">
<title>Checking the syntax</title>
<para>
This allows you to check the syntax of multiple <acronym>PO</acronym>-files
using <command>msgfmt</command>. If a file fails this check, it cannot
be used for generating a <acronym>MO</acronym>-file for binary distribution.
Such an incorrect file will typically result in failing compilation of the package
the <acronym>PO</acronym>-file belongs to.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="catman-commands">
<title>User-defined commands</title>
<para>
Because &catalogmanager; cannot provide any functionality you would like
to use, you can extend it by defining your own commands.
</para>
<!-- ### TODO: we should lik to preferences-project-file-commands too -->
<para>
There are two sets of commands. One for folders and one for single files.
You can set them in <link
linkend="preferences-project-folder-commands">configuration dialog </link> and
access by pressing &RMB; on an entry in the file list.</para>
