Add additional inputs option for lupdate

[AWorkingAlt]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When generating translation files for multi-project solutions, it would be very useful to list multiple projects as source paths for the lupdate command.

Describe the solution you'd like In Project Properties -> Qt Translation -> lupdate there should be a "additional sources" parameter. When the command resolves to lupdate [options] [source-file|path|@lst-file]... -ts ts-files|@lst-file the additional sources would be placed before the "-ts".

Describe alternatives you've considered lupdate has the -I parameter for "include files" but these don't seem to work for including additionl sources.

Thank you very much for reporting the issue; it has been recorded in our public bug tracker, and all further updates will take place there. Here is the link: QTVSADDINBUG-1185

Edit: I have attempted to replicate the problem.

The latest version already supports calling lupdate on the whole solution: However this creates separate translation files for each project, and will overwrite if translation files are shared between projects, which I believe is not what is desired.

Having a single translation file for the whole solution is possible using the command format mentioned in the issue, by prepending the AdditionalOptions parameter: Here lupdate is called on project_1. The translation_1 comes from project_1, and translation_2 comes from project_2, which I believe solves the problem.

If none of these fit your requirement, please re-open the issue and describe the desired behavior further in the bug tracker.
