Thanks - I've been looking forward to try this out. My initial thoughts:
The changes are very welcome. I never noticed the "fine select" feature before, but I'm sure I'll use it now.
1) New Font on Storage
Great function! I was already getting this function with a program called "FontOnStorage" but I like the idea of this being included with stackz. I use a font that has all the kanji with stroke orders embedded in the font (
http://www.users.waitrose.com/~potato/index.html - free, one of my best finds in a long time). The problem is, with the new version the font is being used for the titles above the lessons; in the old version, the font was not affecting the lesson titles. Now I can't use my font!! The lesson names become unreadable. Because of this, I had to roll back to the prior version.
2) Feature Requests
* I haven't decided if I like the buttons on the writing pad yet. I use the buttons on my pocket pc, so having them there just takes up space for me. Could you include an option to only show the clear/undo buttons?
* I would like to see a quick edit button like Stackz desktop has in testing/learning modes - I like to add example sentences as I go (I know, it is only a pen tap/click away to the "edit card" menu, but it would be convenient to have something more easily accessible - new button down at the bottom?).
* Edit mode - show all entries. As the program works now, only the currently displayed entries are available. It is tedious to add comments to entries when I am testing kanji, for example. I have to switch out of kanji writing skill mode, into standard test mode, add my comment, then switch back to kanji writing skill mode. It would be nice if instead all of the fields were displayed upon entering edit mode.
* Optional integration with kanjidic? I'm always wanting to look up the meanings of kanji using kanjidic - I currently do this by changing to edit mode, copying the kanji, pasting in EBPocket EPWING dictionary software, and then searching. If only it was bundled.
* Selectable text in the test/learn modes. Since I copy and paste to other programs, it would be handy to have the text selectable so that I can copy and paste it without having to switch to edit mode.
Other:
*Bug: I'm using a Dell Axim x50v. When I select Tools>Options>Entries, nothing happens. That is, until I click the start menu and Stackz briefly loses and regains focus. Then the pop-up displays. Then if I click "change..." nothing happens, until I click the start menu. I confirmed this in both 2006 and 2007 versions.
*Bug: I cannot scroll down far enough to completely reveal the last item in the Stackz file dialog when there are enough files to require scrolling. The last file item gets cut 1/2 off so that I can only see the top 1/2 of the file name. It is still selectable and openable, but a little odd with 1/2 of it below the bottom edge.
Thanks for reading!
