The source code would have to be filtered through this extra preprocessor every time while compiling. And if the ID's would be plaintext english, people would be tempted to change them in the source - everytime one would be changed, all language files would need to be fixed. This would be pretty ugly to implement, in my opinion. - Hessu Received on 2002-09-16 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
