these grapes are sweet -- lesson#08

I am the lead developer for guiguts and have made some progress in cleaning up its many bugs. I would be happy to include any useful scripts from Bowerbird or anyone else. Any volunteers with perl experience to help with clean up bugs and adding new features would be appreciated. We are providing a Windows executable already and can provide a Mac or Linux executable if someone volunteers to build it. See the latest release notes below. Hunter ------------- This is a major version which will become 1.0 once the bugs are ironed out (see this discussion http://www.pgdp.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=48584). Note: upgrading to this version requires a complete reinstall (save your header.txt and setting.rc files). Relative to version 0.2.10 there are several major new features. First, all the HTML checks can be run with a single click, and the output is clickable in most cases. Second, HTML and CSS validation can now be done on your own computer (and PGTEI as well) and there are checks for unused CSS and image issues (using rfrank's pphtml, ppimage, and pptxt scripts). Third, there is now an option to view text and images side-by-side without having to click on "See Image" for each page. For instance you move forward or back one page for both text and image with the "<" and ">" buttons on the status bar. Also, the Auto Show Images option let's you see the image for instance for the page you are spellchecking. (See tips on viewer configuration below.) Fourth, with Winguts there is no need to install Perl on Windows computers (for other platforms see below). Other new features are: a "View in Browser" and Hyperlink page numbers buttons on the HTML palette, tearoff of the Unicode menu, listing small caps in the Word Frequency popup, automatic checking for updates (which can be turned off), horizontal rules as css, if nothing is found the cursor returns to the starting point, better ability to find executables automatically, GutWrench scanno files are included, inclusion of rfrank's pphtml and pptxt scripts, a warning to use human readable filenames, option to include goodwords in spellcheck project dictionary, a text processing menu to ease conversion of bold/italics/small caps, the label Image #nnn in Configure Page Labels is clickable, added Find Transliterations and Find Orphaned Markup (before it only searched for unmatched brackets) to Search menu, Adjust Page Markers menu is accessible from the File menu. For developers, there are internal improvements, including refactoring of functionality into perl modules and a unit testing framework. Bug fixes already included: less mangling of HTML page numbers (for instance [Pg 42-44] instead of three overlapping page numbers), superscripts are converted to HTML correctly (Philad^a) without curly brackets, fixed regex editor for scannos, Ctrl-S saves the file. The side by side image viewing works best if the window for the viewer is sized to match the image (in XnView, choose View, Auto Image Size, Fit Image to Window) and only one instance of the viewer is allowed to avoid having one instance for every page viewed (in XnView, choose Tools, Options, General, Only One Instance). To page through images, use the "<" and ">" buttons on the status bar. To Auto Show Page Images, use the "Auto Img" button on the status bar, use the option on the Prefs menu, or checkboxes in the various search/spellcheck dialogs. I would be happy to release Mac and Unix executables which only requires someone to run tkpp following the instructions in COMPILING.txt. A Mac or Unix distribution should also include the OpenJade/OpenSP onsgmls executable for HTML/PGTEI validation. Detailed release notes: Version 0.3.6 There is a much higher likelihood that this version generates valid HTML. Page anchors are no longer placed at the end of the previous paragraph or before the horizontal rule. The default for word search from the Word Frequency menu is now "Whole Word". Fixed Go To Bookmarks. There is only one file guiguts-0.3.6.zip which includes the WinGuts.exe. Version 0.3.5 Fixed multiple page markers at a single location so they do not overlap but stack vertically like [Pg 32]<br />[Pg 33]. Fixed problem with moving mark left (entry for initial page number was blank) or up (code was garbled). Removed splash screen. Fixed monthly update check to give user the option. Fixed openpng so if the image viewer is not set the user is prompted to set it. Version 0.3.3 Fixed problem in WinGuts.exe with conflicting Tk library. Version 0.3.2 Fixed pathname problem for non-Windows system for splash screen.
