Seroquel For Sale Aldactone Generic Buy Coumadin Online Prozac Without Prescription Elimite No Prescription Avapro For Sale VPXL Generic Buy Ultram Online Penisole Without Prescription Cialis Soft Tabs No PrescriptionI just uploaded the latest beta build to Sourceforge. You can download it from here. This will be the last build before the 0.6.0 final release.
I’ve mainly focused on the flashcards for this build. There’s now a new preference located in the Flashcards preferences for showing traditional characters and simplified characters at the same time. I think I’ve also improved the UI somewhat now. If any of the content of the flashcards becomes too wide, it should now automatically wrap to the next line instead of cutting itself off. If the content becomes too tall, then a vertical scrollbar will appear, indicating that you should probably resize the view to see all the content. I know, it’s small stuff, but it wasn’t totally obvious (to me at least) how to get this to work properly using SWT. I’ll probably do a small writeup to show how I accomplished this.

Changing fonts does not seem to fill in the current values (before making a change). For example, I had it set to SimSum 18 bold, and when I reopened the dialog, it had (I think) size 22 in the text box, etc.
are you going to add more font types, so that the dictionary entries are different than the categories, etc? Also, flash cards, I suppose…
I made a feature request to be able to import my text files. I’m hoping it’s easy enough to do that you’ll slip it in

Thanks for a very nice program. I’m looking forward to the new features.
I have two feature requests, both relating to the flash cards. As a user interface issue, would it be possible to add key commands so I don’t need to use the mouse? This would be particularly useful when doing pinyin so I wouldn’t need to take my hands off the keyboard.
My second feature request would be a way of indicating “I’m not sure” for a flashcard. This would be a modifier to an answer and would cause the database to score my answer as an error even if I happened to guess correctly. The benefit here is that having a card scored as incorrect would mean it would show up more frequently in the smart card selection.
Best Wishes,
–Tom

Hi Tom,
There should already be key commands for the flashcards. The help should have a list of keyboard shortcuts. Or try Ctrl-Shift-L in any view and that should bring up the key assist which should show you the available keyboard commands in the focused view. If there’s a particular keyboard shortcut you think I’m missing, please let me know though.
I’m not totally sure I agree for the need of an ‘I am not sure’ command. At least in pinyin recall mode, you can always give a wrong guess if you’re not sure. If anyone else sees the need for this though, please chime in.
