3.2.10 Bug Report / Feedback Thread

[Shun]

Hi,

I've got a small bug report. Adding a flashcard in the Document Reader, if I tap the "+ with a dotted square border around it", the flashcard is added to the default category, but the icon doesn't change to "+ with a square border around it" most of the time. There is also no confirmation message. The icon does change if I tap on a "+ with no border around it". I have "Duplicate (non cat)" set to "Add + update" in the Flashcards Settings.

Regards, Shun

Which type of document are you seeing this in?

 

[Shun]

Ah yes, paginated text. I tried completely quitting and re-opening Pleco, but that didn't help.

 

[mikelove]

Hmm... which dictionary are you adding from? And is there any chance you might have more than one flashcard for that same word? The "add + update" could be mucking things up if it updates the card text so that it no longer matches the card it was originally looking at.

 

[Shun]

I am adding mostly from HanDeDict. The thing is, if I tap the same word that didn't change the "+" into a full border "+" again, it will have the full border. So it might not do the update of the "+" at the very end of the operation, or something.

 

[mikelove]

Yeah, might just be a synchronization issue then - thanks.

 

[Shun]

You're welcome!

Another bug that I've seen sometimes:

I.e., 战〔戰-〕instead of 战〔戰〕. When I click the entry it displays correctly:

 

[mikelove]

Thanks!

 

[Carl Nilsson]

Same again, but this time from the pop up window (should be 碍〔礙〕but displays 碍〔礙-〕):

Hi Mike,

Would it be possible to display more verbose dictionary names when you press and hold on the language field to the right of the search field? I haven't yet memorized the acronyms with all of the dictionaries

 

[mikelove]

Yes - working on that in the new builds we're preparing of most of our dictionaries

ABC & MOE seem to have a simplified (read: analogically simplified) character for 輶 in 輶轩 but it doesn't display when user searches 輶轩 it just reveals 轩 [輶轩] (if settings are simp[trad], naturally).

It seems GH can display this character though, searching 'youxuan' pinyin get's a hit pretty easily.

Perhaps ABC and MOE are using PUA and GH is using (unicode: 2CA0E) being slightly newer and all...(?)

 

[mikelove]

Actually all three are using PUA, GH just came with 造字 images we could embed while the others didn't. ABC seems to have just been updated a few months ago with the new Extension E codes for this and about a dozen other characters, so we'll push that update out soon along with an Ext-E update to our Extended Font.

Hi Mike,

a minor UI bug: In Settings > Colors > Tone Colors, if I have „Color headwords by tone“ turned off and „Tint headwords (like examples)“ turned on, headwords are still colored by tone, i.e. differently for each tone.

Regards, Shun

 

[mikelove]

Yep, that's a known one - can be worked around by setting all of your tone colors to your Pleco tint color.

Hi Mike,

Could we have an option to specify a dictionary group for the reader definition popup? With all the dictionaries I have installed, I sometime get overly aggresive "long matches" for multi-character words (ie. in the HDC) when in fact the single character meaning would be more appropriate.

Thanks!

 

[mikelove]

You can turn off specific dictionaries for the reader in Manage Dictionaries - turn off 'use in reader' in the dictionary's detail page. We do eventually want to do this through groups though.

 

[Alexis]

Perfect, thanks Mike! Turned off all except the KEY, and much better now.

 

[Alexis]

Possible bug: Turning off "use in reader" also turns off that dictionary in the pop-up definition when you click on a character in the dictionary.
