3.2.x Bug Report / Feedback Thread

[mikelove]

Yes, we realized that 'tap to pause' was accidentally brought over to New OCR when we never intended to - 'tap to resume' conflicts with selecting / scrolling characters when paused and has never worked with New OCR. If you turn off New OCR 'tap to pause' should work fine, though.

If we get a lot of complaints about this after we launch 4.0 with "New OCR" only, we might consider adding adding an option to bring it back at the cost of disabling that scrolling/selection feature, but we're changing a bunch of other stuff about the OCR UI too and we're hopeful we won't need to.

Hello Mike,

I've found a non-critical bug.

While studying Flashcards, tap-holding the dictionary abbreviation in the lower right corner and then tapping the last dictionary in the menu (abbreviated as END here) takes me to an incorrect dictionary, namely SCM (see the attached ZIP file with a movie inside).

The second-last dictionary and all the other dictionaries above it do come up. The dictionary settings in Manage Dicts are identical.

Regards,

Shun

Thanks!

Unfortunately no, not possible to revert to older versions on iOS. My guess is that those APIs will go away entirely in iOS 17 or 18, so the feature probably wasn't going to be long for this world in any case.

I asked about this earlier, but had just been using the "old" feature with my old iPad, but I finally bit the bullet, and installed smb so now using IOS 'Files' I can easily move files onto my new(er) iPad, but how do I slurp these files from a Files directory into File Manager / Documents in Pleco to read them? Thanks, as always!

*** duh! OK found it! Never mind. Reader / Open Document / Choose Reader File (scroll to bottom) / click) External Files (opens smb directory)

No, we can fix them, just have to add that to our to-do list

Thank you. I just found another one: Both FHD and HDD list the TC for 机构 as 方针. If I find any more in the future, I’ll just open a new thread so this one doesn’t become cluttered.

Just noticed that mixed character/phonetic search doesn't seem to work (at least for this particular case) for Cantonese

先zhao returns 先兆
先siu does not return 先兆 (but should)

I just realized that when using the reader the last character on a line is not clickable. Only when using the arrows on the bottom is it selectable.

What type of document?

 

[Spyral]

On PDF documents.

 

[mikelove]

Does this apply to every PDF you try, or just to one or two specific ones?

 

[Spyral]

Happens to every PDF, some definitely worked before.

 

[mikelove]

Hmm... did you maybe just install iOS 17? Could be something to do with that, a bug in its PDF viewer on some devices that we didn't see in the betas. What model of iOS device is this?

 

[Spyral]

It‘s a 4th gen. iPad Pro and yes it is running iOS 17.

 

[mikelove]

Yeah, probably that then - we're planning to wait another week or so to make sure there aren't any obscure hardware bugs on the new iPhone 15 and then do a minor bug fix update to cover both those + iOS 17, so you shouldn't have to wait too long for a fix.
