I'm playing around with the commenting (etc) mechanics available in Qt's translation engine.
In particular I've noticed that when I run lupdate, it will only pickup changes to meta-data if that translation text does not yet exist in the ts file.
This means that once you have run lupdate once, you cannot modify (add/remove/edit) any meta-data to existing translation text unless you delete your .ts file and start again (obviously problematic on so many levels).
Is there anything I'm missing with regards to meta-data (perhaps I'm not using it the way its intended?) or anything else?
Regards,
Tom

An example portion of tr code:
//= E0002
//~ description Unable to connect to host
//~ resolution Ensure the host is available and the network connection is available
/*: %1 Host Address
%2 Host Port
%3 Error Message */
tr("E0002: Unable to connect to host at %1:%2\r\n%3").arg(Settings::hostAddress()).arg(Settings::hostP ort()).arg(socket->errorString()));
