ZDT 0.7.0 Available

Recommended Posts

Sorry it took so long, but there's a new build in the sandbox area that now does auto-fill of traditional characters for new entries.
When I try it, I can't get any auto-fill to happen. Perhaps some third person could try it.

0.7.1

Here are the error logs. Not sure what's wrong; the dictionary seems to work for popups and such, but not for adding new entries.

Hi,

ZDT is a great software, still I have some minor problems probably due to my os setup.

- Sometimes I see squares instead of chinese signs

- sometimes the chinese sign are rotated

Can someone pls tell me what is wrong.

Thanks a lot

Hi leib1,

You're probably not using a font that can render chinese characters if its appearing as squares. Also, if you choose a font that begins with @, it will appear rotated. Try some other fonts and see if it works better.

I got a couple charcters which I inputed but the program cannot process them.

心猿意马

Most of the times i can just paste a phrase as a new engry and it will resolve the charactere/sound (and often the definition correctly). However, about once or twice a session i run into a charracter or phrase which does not resolve correctly.

Hi Chris,

After all these years, I am finally using electronic flashcards, and have installed ZDT 0.7.0 on my netbook (Ubuntu set-up).

I am going through the painful process of creating a whole bunch of new categories, based upon how my brain works - pronouns, nouns, adverbs, verbs, adjectives, etc - and linking words within wordlists to this set-up.

Quick question right off the bat, does the annotate function allow one to add examples to a flashcard? i.e. on the reverse of the flashcard, can an example sentence be added incorporating the word / character (above / below the pinyin)? One of the learning tips I obtained from Chinesepod was to learn words as a 'chunk' within a sentence, as opposed to just learning a character / word. This method has immeasurably improved my ability not only to memorise words, but also to use them in an effective manner.

Or can I add examples within the 'definition'? I suspect it is the latter.

Cheers!

I believe the answer is no. From the ZDT help file:

The Annotation view allows you to input chinese characters. Use the mouse to hover any character to show an annotated popup which includes the character's pinyin and definition. Characters that have been 'annotated' appear green and the corresponding pinyin will appear in the pinyin area. If the characters appear red, use the 'Re-Annotate' (Ctrl-R) function to reannotate all of the characters.

I think it is separate from an individual card.

HOWEVER, version 0.8.0 does have the ability to add additional per-card information. It is probably closer to what you want. Look here for more details: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/17270-zdt-080-status/

Unfortunately, this version is still beta, and Chris seems to have stopped working on ZDT. So use with caution.

Thanks for your response, jbradfor. I think I'll try Anki instead, as from speaking with a fellow student who has used Anki to study Japanese and is now studying Chinese, Anki may better suit my way of studying.

Cheers!
