Sounds do-able.

We can add another button to select a directory and the find all
pofiles and put them in a list.
We could also provide a recent-file-history.
My idea would be to split that list in master files and translated
files, otherwise it's gonna be hard to find a given master file
amongst the many translate ones.

In the past there was a request to integrate editing in the tool (like
you describe: click on an error and goto the .po file). After
discussing it, this idea was rejected.
The main purpose of the tool is to check for errors. No reason to bloat it.

But then again, offering to open the file in IDE (when run from IDE)
sounds like a nice idea.

Well, I use my own editor (LazEdit (CCR) was based on it)

I don't feel pushed.
The ideas are good, I simply now nothing about IDE integration, and
I'm currently lacking the drive to dive into that.
