Unwanted space in self-closing tags

[JSebastianN]

Hello

We like to re-import files from our external tool, Crowdin.com, but experience a few unwanted diffs, when "Refresh XLF from g.xlf" is run afterwards.

Self-closing tags are modified with an unwanted space.
("NAB.ReplaceSelfClosingXlfTags" set to "false")

And the Approve Attribute is removed. I think you have it in the works already based on:
#420

Hi @JSebastianN,
Sorry for letting you wait for these. It just has been a lot going on lately. ;-)

Anyways, the Approve attribute support is in the works (in #425).

About this one:
We cannot change this behavior, since it does now work in a way that some editors behave. So we must have support for current behavior, even if we change anything.
But I don't really know if I want to add a new setting "just" for this behavior....

So what about a new setting: "RegEx Replacement after Xliff Refresh" (or similar).

In that setting you could specify one or more search & replace RegEx tuples to accomplish your request (and others).

In your case you could configure it in this way:
SearchFor: " />"
ReplaceWith: "/>"

What do you think about that?

@JSebastianN I hope you like the suggested solution to your issue, since I moved ahead and tried to implement this (#426). I'll let you know when it's released for testing.

Yes, that would work and give everyone flexibility to solve formatting issues themselves.

Thank you so much for all your work and @theschitz and others for doing this extension for the community.
You have already gone above and beyond in speed and response. We are very grateful 👍👍
