A sneak preview of new features:
- Comes with a built in text editor for writing your own lists or writing a short note in Japanese using Cerebware's beginner-friendly input method. Type [water] for 水, for instance, as explained here.
- Allows you to add mnemonic pictures for any kanji, not just when preparing the initial list but at any later time.
- New start-up screen with the ability to modify your target, resort your vocabulary, or import a number of differently arranged kanji lists.
Note that it is recommended that you make a backup copy of your vocab file (KanjiPad.voc) and put it in a safe place prior to testing any new release.
P.S. After some useful feedback, a few changes have been made. They are incorporated into Version beta 2.61.
I should add, there is one known issue with version 2.6, simply because I have not had time to finish it completely: the text editor does not prompt you to save your work.
ReplyDeleteThis means that you would lose your work if you typed a long document and then closed the window inadvertently.
In fact, until it has been tested more extensively, I would recommend you back up any text document by pasting it into Notepad and saving it with a second name prior to saving it in the Sketch Pad.
This will be resolved in version 2.61.
