Default Langpack (French) - ISSUE 12 - Preferences window

Hello,

1 - I open Reaper on Mac OS catalina
2 - I open the preferences window
3 - I open the translation file then head to the preferences location.
4 - I am trying to skip lines using \n in several places
5 - it often works but not always
6 – I don't quite understand why. Sometimes is it a bug? Sometimes it comes from the height of the window?

7 – I open WIN 10
8 – I do the same
9 – Line breaks never work.
10 - Do you have an idea to fix this?, because it is used to optimize the size of the windows.

The goal is not to skip lines everywhere, but in certain strategic places to allow the size of the preferences window to be reduced, when this can no longer be done with the shortening of the translation.

Thanks

Below is an example. I will not skip the lines in some of the places shown.

justin,
Could you fix this please. It limits a lot not being able to skip lines. Thanks

Hello,

I didn't quite understand your answer.

In fact, as I explained above, if I'm not talking nonsense, line breaks are impossible in all contexts, and in all preferences menus, on Windows by using \r, \n \0 ou #. So it would be nice to fix all the preferences about line breaks, to have more flexibility in organizing things, to reduce windows or gain clarity. there is a big waste of space because you can't skip a line

If your answer implies that it is possible to create additional lines, then i don't know how to do

In fact, I do believe that in all reaper windows, on Windows, no line breaks work. I wanted to add a little help to explain how to create a tuplet in the tuplet window in the score editor, but we can't. It limits a lot of things. that's a shame.

It sometimes isn't possible not to use '\n' if the description text should make any sense, but (at least on Windows) the text following '\n' can be seen only as artefacts, because the area displaying the text isn't big enough to make it completely visible. So when using '\n' either height for the element won't change anyway or '\n' simply is ignored, so we're lost in either way completely.

Maybe you remember that I a long time ago made some proposals to get around this issue (most of them were quite ill-conceived, tbh ). I remember that I proposed some kind of editor, where we could shift and resize elements like radio buttons,checkboxes and dropdowns in dialogs in certain ranges and these changes could be put either into the langpack file itself or an additional file, holding the coordinates.

IIRC I also argued that, if we could work with these changes/possibilities, we in many cases wouldn't be forced to make dialog windows that huge using the '5CA1E' parameter.
