ziggy said:Not sure this is the right place to post, but here is an issue that I have encountered :
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 4.0.3, and Pleco 2.3.8 (non Market).
I have created Flash Cards and three categories. When I go to Organise cards, tapping on one of the categories (containing only a few cards), makes the screen turn black, and, after five-ten seconds, a small window says "Pleco s'est arrêté (Pleco has stopped). OK".
When I clock OK I get back to the standard character input screen.
I now have erased this category, and created another with a slightly different name ; it seem to work. I don't know what was the issue but it persisted whatever I did (closing the application, retry...). Maybe somebody has ad the same problem or not. I thought it may be useful to report.
ziggy said:1 - When I type a word beginning with "A", I sometimes obtain the very first page of the dictionary, i.e. ": a(an) 1. 一 yi ; 一 个".. etc. It happens in a random way, not predictibly following any pattern (as far as I see). Or if I type "more", I get : MA = master of Arts. So it may direct you to the first entry of a specific letter section of the dictionary, the letter being the inital of the entry that you typed.
This when I have 英 displayed at the top left of the screen (and I'm typing an an English word entry), and NWP at the top right.
ziggy said:2 - I sometimes have an English-Chinese dictionary output, sometimes a Chinese-English dictionnary output... It seems that as I type an entry, the top-right dictionary abbreviation (PLC, CC NWP) may change by itself.
For example I just typed "potter", and I got 陶土 (Tàotu) [Chinese dict. entry] . Then after a few other searches, without changing the output dict. name, I typed aircraft and got : aircraft n. 航空器..." etc [English dict. entry].
ziggy said:For item #1 you may look at a video posted here : http://www.autodrome.fr/P1150148.MOV (hope you can get it, it'a about 30-60 seconds to download).
The first time i tap "OK" whilst the word entered in the upper window is aircraft, it displays : "a (an).." etc. Then the second time it opens the correct entry in the dictionary.
ziggy said:Please note also - but this is ergonomics, not a bug- that when in this situation I tap "return" (the button at the bottom right of my Samsung Galaxy S2), instead of going back to a previous "page" (or search), it closes the application. I find it uncomfortable, even though I cold get back to a blank search window by tapping the X at the top right. In fact my thumb is closer to the "return" button, and it is more intuitive for me.

It was OK after 2.3.8, but I did not check after 2.3.9/2.3.10.mikelove said:HW60 said:In 2.3.8. "Fixed a bug that could cause audio to play when rotating the screen or resuming a saved session". I think in 2.3.11 the bug came back.
That's odd, we didn't touch the relevant code at all - are you sure it went away in 2.3.8/9/10?
ziggy said:Because, in fact, there is a very convenient button at the bottom allowing to open the keyboard when it's closed - so do we need two different actions that lead to the same result ?

ziggy said:Maybe I wasn't clear : the "convenient button" that I am talking about is within the Pleco app screen, not on my device : second from right, next to OCR.
So when I'm on the regular search screen I can use it to open the keyboard, whilst if I wish to close the app, I just have to maintain the (Samsung) return button (bottom right) about oneone and a half second. This would enable the use of the "return" button to go to the previous screen in case the keyboard is closed..
ziggy said:Anyhow, Pleco is incredibly good and even impressive. I actually waited for about two years until you finalised the Android version to replace my old Samsung i600 phone with physical beyboard, by a touchscreen phone (because I don't want to fall into the Apple "system").

ziggy said:Actually, I'd like very much to be able to "go backwards" indefinitely with repeated use of the "return" (device) button (- unless pressed for, say two seconds, which would close the app - , as I do with the arrow in a browser.
I love to browse dictionaries, so this seems natural to me, once I have checked a few of words, to go back and review the pages that I just saw with a simple click of my thumb...
ziggy said:Opening the botom left (device) button, then choose History, then each word, is not as practical, especially when you checked several translations for a specific word : you have to go back to History between each word to read the complete page.
On the other hand, I just realised that History offers a good view of Dict. entries recently searched, with definitions (although not the full page with examples etc)...
ziggy said:I would think that those two sections would be more efective if both contained all words searched (viewing the full definition, or not), and if one would be more compact, showing only entry words (but many on each screen), whilst the other would be more detailed, allowing to read the beginning of defintions but of less words (say ten) at a glance.
