PocketStackz - Bug Reports / Re: Problems with orange color

Last post by Teskal - May 12, 2009, 11:33:03 PM

Hallo, is there anybody???

I have still this problem.

The last few weeks I didn't use this file on my PC, today I checked it again on the PC and the stackz-pc version shows in the 5 stackz-column 326 orange items, with pocket-stackz, I have 0 orange items.

I paid for this program, and I'm very angry that there is no further response or after this time any help!

Stackz Flashcard Organizer for PC / Re: PC Version On Linux using ...

Last post by liquidarts - May 07, 2009, 11:49:37 AM

I recently got some free time and a bit of motivation to work on this some more.   I thought I'd post my progress, considering this thread comes up in Google when searching for Stackz and Linux it seems a good place.  Not quite there yet though, Stackz' files on my PDA don't behave properly after being saved under the Stackz running in Wine.

My Stackz study configuration is a laptop running Stackz Dictionary Edition to create the stacks and do big edits etc.  Almost no studying is done on the PC.  The second piece is a used iPaq hx4700 running an upgraded OS (WM5) and Pocket Stackz.  It's on the PDA that I do all my studying.  I sync my stackz daily and would like to be creating new stackz daily.  So it's unfortunate to have to keep my Windows partition around just for Stackz.

My biggest hurdle in the past was getting the PDA to sync, but thanks to some new details found here;
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceInstallation/Ubuntu/ModernDevice
I am now able to consistently sync my device.

The second hurdle was getting Stackz running on Wine.  Initially an older version (forget exactly which) of Wine gave an error when trying to save.  Updating to the newest (1.1.20 at this time) Wine seemed to solve that.  If I just use Stackz on the PC everything seems to behave fine.  As a note, to significantly increase stability unfortunately I had to turn off all of Stackz' custom UI.

But now the problem is files saved in the Stackz running under Wine don't behave properly on the PDA.  They launch and I can test and learn the stacks OK, but when closing the file it doesn't save.  Even using the 'Save data' option doesn't work.  The stack will close but the timestamp doesn't changed and immediately reopening the stack shows no changes.  Syncing and checking on the PC also shows no change.

I've determined the sync is OK, by syncing Stackz' files created and manipulated on a Stackz running in a VM vs the "Wine'd" version.  I suspect the previous error relating to saving is still somehow at fault here, but I don't know where to go from here.

Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated!

Stackz Flashcard Organizer for PC / How can I add new entries to t...

Last post by carmentalis - May 03, 2009, 11:44:13 AM

I'm refreshing half-forgotten vocabulary, so I prefer to have entries start on the leftmost stack so they show up a few times for repetition before moving into the longer frequencies of the stack on level 5.

However, I'm having trouble adding the entries there. My file is set to the Leitner system, but new words are added to the central stack on the neutral level 3 when I import them with the List Import Wizard. Nothing I do convinces them to start at level 1, despite the Leitner setting claiming that entries should begin there.

Currently I'm importing them the usual way with the List Import Wizard, then manually cutting and pasting them from the level 3 stack to level 1. It works, but it's a roundabout way.

Is there a simpler way to do this?

PocketStackz - Bug Reports / Re: Problems with orange color

Few days later again, the forth column seems to be ok, now.

I think the 5th column will be ok again in 15 or 16 days (not necessarily 15 days from today)

But it would be better to find the reason.  :) Thx for looking after it.

Stackz - New Feature Requests / Web Browser style back and for...

Last post by CCP - April 08, 2009, 09:25:05 AM

It would be a real help to have back and forward buttons like they do in a web browser for the dictionary. Maybe also a drop down box that lists the last 10 searches or something. I frequently use the dictionary to look up a word, look at the kanji info, query one of the kanji to see other words that use it and then want to go back to my original word. It would be great not to have to type it in, but just to be able to click 'back'. Thanks.

Few days later, stackz-column 2 and 3 are ok, but 4 and 5 are not.

If this solves from alone in a few days I'm happy, but what if this happens again?

And why is nobody interested in this issue?

Stackz - New Feature Requests / Re: Edit from other windows

Last post by bubulac - April 02, 2009, 06:44:35 AM

I have to disagree here... the feature I am looking for is not present. It is true that one can edit an entry in any window, but it is just one entry at a time. While what I am looking for is accessing the Edit window without having to close the Test or Learn window. Maybe not to just edit one entry, but to compare various entries that may appear similar while being learned/tested, or to divide different meanings of a word in separate entries rather than only one, etc...
In short, being able to work in the Edit window without closing the Learn or Test window, and once the work done to be able to resume the learning/testing.
The idea of my suggestion was not the editing, but the access to the Edit window from other windows, without having to close them.
