inkscape.pot missing vital entries
Hello,
When I run 'make inkscape_pot' for current git master, I get this:
[100%] Generating ../../po/inkscape.pot Unsuccessful open on filename containing newline at /usr/bin/intltool-update line 1150.
And then the following top menu items are missing from POT (become obsolete):
_View, _Layer, _Object, _Path, _Filters, _Extensions, _Help.
Both _File, _Edit, and _Text are OK.
I'd gladly push updated ru.po, but without these essential bits it's not worth it really.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

This was caused by the switch to external UI files, specifically https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/78cebbf91af8d91681d4ff18b7c1a8b2...
Seems we currently have a bit of a "change it now and fix regressions later" attitude in the Inkscape project (with the "later" part often forgotten)... We really should work on this!
That being said it should be fixable but needs some changes (at the very least the UI files need to be adjusted and added to the files searched by intltool). Maybe some code changes (to exclude translatable strings from the UI files) are an even the better approach, though (I'll need to look into this).
For now I'm afraid there's not much you can do to update the .pot file Also note that simply running "intltool-update" (or "make inkscape_pot") usually is not sufficient if new code files were added to the source. Then one has to regenerate the file "POTFILES.in" using "generate_POTFILES.sh" which might (or as in this case might not) produce the necessary input files for intltool.

I pushed a fix for the menus.xml file in https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/bcec10178c7642ab5781df898fcf1347... and updated the inkscape.pot in https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/13cc0631ddc9595e5eaab244c24d7128...
Let me know if there are still strings missing! (also tell me if there are any useless new strings)
As for updating the inkscape.pot I added a small README with the most important steps in https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/d02bf1eb5e83251d4d3b2a9293922f73... Hopefully this helps to give developers a starting point on what to do and encourages some contributions to make this process a bit more convenient and error-proof in future.
