[poedit-users] Empty automatic comments being deleted

Hi

As people in the company I'm working for are starting to use poedit on a 
daily basis, they notice a few glitches. Most of them I fix them myself 
and propose a patch. This explains the 6 new patches in the past week or so.
However, there is a one of these glitches that I would like your opinion 
about:

When parsing elements, the CatalogParser class ignores empty '#.' lines 
which means that some automatic comments get stripped from the file when 
saving. I know that empy lines are almost meaningless, but this makes 
quite a lot of differences when putting a file back into our source 
control system.
These empty lines come from comments developers put in the source code 
and that get picked up by our overnight extraction mechanism. In some 
instances, those empty lines are intentional, to "air up" the explanations.

I've got a patch ready that basically removes the line == _T("#.") from 
the test on line 364 in catalog.cpp and adds a new call to ReadParam 
alongside the one with _T("#. ")

I'm ready to submit that patch, I'm just curious to disccus this point 
with you first.

Cheers

Olivier Sannier
