The hook is called +before the plugin adds any subpages to the set of pages to rename. +So, if the user choses to rename subpages, po will not notice +they are moving, and will not move their po files. + +Perhaps the hooks should be moved to come after subpages are added. +This would, though, mean that if the hook somehow decides to add +entirely other pages to the list, their subpages would not be +automatically added. + +I also have some qualms about the design of the hook. In particular, +passing the mutable array reference probably makes it impossible +to use from external plugins. Instead it could return any additional +rename hashes it wants to add. Or, if the ability to modify existing +hashes is desired, it could return the full set of hashes. + +--[[Joey]] |
