What's new in Adapt It 6.6.4

Oct 18, 2015
  • Feature changes and new features:
  • A new checkbox was added to the Consistency Check Type dialog. "Do blind fixes whenever possible". When turned on, an automatic fix is done for any inconsistency which matches the following criterion: there is only a single adaptation (or gloss, if working in glossing mode) in the knowledge base for the current source text word or phrase. Instead of showing a dialog for the user to manually choose what to do, Adapt It makes the fix itself, replacing the old text with the updated text. Typically to get updated text, the user will have used the Knowledge Base Editor dialog to update the adaptations or glosses in the KB, with respelled better versions, and had those accepted by using the Update button. Then he would do a Consistency Check (of "all documents") with this new checkbox ticked. Then those updates will get inserted into the documents at the correct locations without user intervention being required.
  • The Update button in the Knowledge Base Editor is smarter. If the phrase box contains the same text as that which you are updating in the KB Editor dialog, then your edits done in the KB Editor also update the phrasebox text automatically.
  • The Update button shows a Yes/No question box each time you press the button. Now, this question box will appear only three times for every KB Editor session. (It got to be nuisance to have to dismisss it hundreds of times if you edited hundreds of KB entries.)
  • The "Save To Knowledge Base" checkbox, if the user ticks it at a location where it was unticked, Adapt It now asks the user if he wants all locations with that "not in knowledge base" entry in all documents reverted to being "in knowledge base". If the user reponds with a Yes, the restoration is done on all documents. If such a location has no adaptation text, then an empty entry is added to the knowledge base at each relevant location.
  • Bug fixes:
  • Fixed a bug in collaboration mode, in which filtered information (such as a free translation) wrongly was retained in an export of the adaptation text, and that led to a crash.
  • Fixed a bug in collaboration mode caused by differences between the source text as exported from Adapt It, and the source text obtained from the Paratext source text project. It led to a crash. Note: The following bugs were fixed in versions 6.6.2 and 6.6.3 which were release only on Linux and are now fixed on Windows:
  • Restoring an earlier document snapshot to being the current document failed to re-enable to two checkboxes: Save To Knowledge Base, and, Force Choice For This Item.
  • If a Find Next search was being done, and the phrasebox landed at a location where the checkbox "Save To Knowledge Base" had been turned off (ie. the checkbox should have no tick), the checkbox wrongly showed a tick. Now it has been fixed to show the value synced correctly - that is, it will be shown unticked in that circumstance.
  • Collaboration: it was possible for the transfer of the translation text to Paratext to fail if the Adapt It document's source text had a different number of USFM markers than did the Paratext project's source text.

New in Adapt It 6.4.3 (Jul 23, 2013)

  • Feature changes and new features:
  • Added a dialog with two text controls, and on the Edit menu
  • a new item "Change Username..." for opening it on demand. In it
  • the user can add or edit a (preferably unique) username string
  • identifier (his full email address is recommended but any unique
  • string of letters is acceptable). The second text control is to
  • add or edit a human-friendly informal name, like "John Smith".
  • The dialog also shows itself if one or both names are not set
  • at the time that either document history, or sharing of the KB,
  • is turned on within any Adapt It project. Once shown, something
  • must be in each text control before the dialog will let you
  • dismiss it.
  • Changed Find when searching in the source text, if it matches
  • the source text at a "hole", it doesn't copy down the source
  • text there to the phrase box. This is safer.
  • Altered the Find, and Find and Replace dialogs, to change the
  • checkbox text "Search, retaining target text's punctuation" to be
  • instead "Search, retaining the text's punctuation", because this
  • checkbox applies equally to source or target text.
  • Find dialog, when search in source text, if matches were made
  • in locations that were adaptable "holes", the ChooseTranslation
  • dialog might show, or a merger be done, or source text be copied
  • down to the phrasebox. These are unhelpful in such a circumstance
  • and the behaviour is now changed. The phrasebox just stays empty,
  • preserving the hole. (The user can still click in the document
  • there to add text to the phrasebox if he wants.)
  • Bug fixes:
  • Fixed a broken link in the help file topic "Edit or Examine
  • the Knowledge Base dialog."
  • Updated screen shots for the toolbar in the help files. The
  • toolbar icons were updated earlier.
  • Once the Guesser was turned on, the GUI button for it would
  • not allow it to be turned off, even if the checkbox in it was
  • clicked. Now it works right.
  • The Remove button in the KB Editor, and also in the Choose
  • Translation dialog, would not remove a entry
  • if Automatic Capitalization was turned on. Now it works right.
  • Fixed a file path bug when doing Export Knowledge Base for
  • a SFM export, which was crashing in Linux, but not Windows.
  • Export Knowledge Base... with the SFM export crashed, but only
  • in the Linux build, when forming the path string for the file
  • dialog. Fixed.
  • The KB Editor would crash when loading a page, if there was
  • a KB element for that page which did not have any translations
  • in it's list associated with that source text key. It's safe now,
  • any such bad entries are detected and removed before they can
  • do damage to the data loading for the KB Editor.
