Flash Card Program For Testing Vocabulary?, Flash card program? Options

@Frederic

I discovered the "bug": I had kept an old version of my glossary file (with the original en and ja markup). Naturally, toMOTko picked it up and renders as English - Japanese. So there is no problem. Except with me!

Nice screenshots, I'm glad you have installed my file!

thanks

That's a good news. Thanks for telling me.

I put your glossary on toMOTko's website in the Glossaries page.

Thanks, Frederic, for the new version.

A quick question: the "Word/Expr." box seems to be cut off at the bottom (it is smaller than the "Alt./Phon" box. I have played with the settings but it is still cut off (and the letters/characters in that box are cut off at the bottom as well). I'd post a screenshot but I forgot the key combination and the folder where screenshots go.

Long time no hear from you, Kurochka.

It should not be unless I misunderstand you... Look at the screenshots on the website. Does the Word/Expr field look cut off? Does it look the same on your side? Try setting different fonts in the Preferences. If it doesn't work, try restarting the application. In most cases, it should not be needed but It could help. I had such a bug once but I thought it was fixed.

To take a screenshot : Fn + Shift + C. The image file should be in Documents/Screen_Files on your SD card (most probably).

I use your program all the time.

Here is the screenshot. http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/v/2001251220182324392

I use efont (because it has all the Unicode ranges I need in a nice size) for the field portion, and it does this.

I'm glad to hear that. I hope you like the multilingual support.

I'm able to reproduce the problem. It happens when using a too large font for the Label Fonts. I will try to find a fix in the week-end. Meanwhile, I recommend using a smaller font. I use unifont medium and the result looks ok. Maybe not as nice as efont though. I really like the style of japanese rendering in efont. Very cute. I still prefer lcfont for toMOTko because I find it easier to read.

I think I fixed the bug. It was a tough one. I spent 7 hours on it. I don't quite understand the problem actually but I have found a workaround that is not perfect, but hopefully, good enough. At least, with efont, the layout is fine. It will be available in the next release.

Thanks for reporting the problem.

All these programs are GUI oriented. Does anybody of you know of a curses based flash program
(using the Leitner-methodology) ?

anki has an emacs front end, but I haven't tried it yet

I'm currently desiging a leitner app as a local web server using a browser (curses if you like) as the interface, primarily for heisig, but should be flexible enough for general use

The only one I know is latrine.

nice, but is the leitner? doesn't look like it from just a quick look at the man page...

Actually, I've never used it more than 5 minutes so I don't know. The man page mentions a continuously improved algorithm for word selection. I think you should give it a try. It was easy to use/configure if I remember well.

I released version 0.7.0 of toMOTko. It's a little bit earlier than I thought but I wanted to make some fixes available for some annoying bugs.

Here is the change log :

- Fixed duplicate folder id bug.
- Improved layout update for QuizFrame when changing font.
- Added Language Selection dialog box for import/export.
- Shortened some strings in Spanish to make them fit in Portrait mode.
- Save the state of expanded/collapsed tree nodes in Glossary Manager.
- Display Undefined string in gray when a glossary contains no word in
a language shown in the list of terms in the Glossary Manager.
- Fixed lost selection bug when switching language or changing the state
of the filter.

@kurochka

Tell me if you can use efont properly with no cut-off fields in the Quiz.

I'm going to take 3 weeks off going back to my home country. Don't worry if you don't hear from me for a while.

[kurochka]

Thanks, once again.

Yes, the new version does not have a problem with efont. If I am not mistaken the height of the windows has become static (does not depend on the size of the font) to keep efont happy. This have led to smaller examples window in the laptop/horizontal orientation. I can live with that, I will just scroll more if the example is large. Also note that with large font sizes the buttons are being eaten by bottom task bar. All this is not important. The hotkeys for yes and no would fix it

Will take a look. Thx for the hint.

Nice news! My main concern is about speed. I have yet to find a program as fast as real index cards, esp. if it comes to going over vocabulary you more or less know.
That's why I'm looking into curses instead of a "nice" GUI. Speed! Don't know if a browser based solution will cut it there.

Hi, I have some suggestions for 0.8.0.

I can't organise my glossaries. I want to move them around subfolders.
I guess this is what you will do when you implement cut and paste ?
I also would like to be able to sort glossaries and folders.

When I don't select "Show all glossaries" and specify "Language1" > "Language2" I think I should still see all the folders, even if they are not Language1 or Language2.

I think each glossary should have some notes to explain who made it, where it comes from etc. If you change the glossary title label to "Title" then there would be room for an (i) icon which could be tapped for more information.

When you edit an entry, it would be nice if there was a way to navigate forwards and backwards to other entries.

The menu "Edition" should be "Edit", in prefs "Digraphes" should be "Digraphs" for the English UI.

thanks
