Strings files require a terminal line-feed

Post by Robert »

One of my Strings files was not working; the fix was to add a line-feed (Return) to the end of the last line. Is this a bug?

The line was giving a short name to a file converter in the "File->Save" dialog.

Docu/Tut-4 says:
"Every <key, string> pair must be terminated by a carriage return. "

System/Docu/User-Man says:
"each line contains a string (the key), a TAB, another string (to which the key is mapped), and a carriage return,"

It follows that a CR at the end is a requirement.
