INI file: strings prefix with 'rem' missing

[TakWolf]

Describe the issue

Project is https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/aseprite/aseprite/en/#search

The follow sentences cannot be searched, but they do exist.

https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/blob/516a927a59d8b6dc65061da39bcbf3434965337a/data/strings/en.ini#L162-L165

[color_bar]
remap_palette = Remap Palette
remap_palette_tooltip = Matches old indexes with new indexes
remap_tiles = Remap Tiles
remap_tiles_tooltip = Matches old tiles with new tiles

[commands]
RemoveFrame = Remove Frame
RemoveFrameTag = Remove Tag
RemoveLayer = Remove Layer
RemoveSlice = Remove Slice

The statistics count are also incorrect, now is 1606 but actually it should be 1614. (Exactly 8 are missing)

They all use ‘rem’ as a prefix, and I'm not sure if it's related to this.

Probably related to this "allow_rem" parameter from iniparse API:

https://github.com/candlepin/python-iniparse/blob/dbfd7174ee1e9a8e25cdc1694703d59b4ab109a1/iniparse/ini.py#L188-L194

Probably these lines are being parsed as comments.

[TakWolf]

Indeed. ';' or '#' or 'rem' start line parse as a comment.

https://github.com/candlepin/python-iniparse/blob/dbfd7174ee1e9a8e25cdc1694703d59b4ab109a1/iniparse/ini.py#L198

But I can't find any documentation about using rem as a comment.(usually use # or ;)

[nijel]

Apparently it is in the iniparse since the very beginning: candlepin/python-iniparse@fd4f69f

The fix might be to call change_comment_syntax(allow_rem=False), the annoying part of that API is that it changes the global state of the module. But I don't think anybody actually wants to use these as comments.

translate/translate#5130 should address this.
