jMemorize 1.2.0 preview part 2
Here goes another preview for jMemorize 1.2.0. I’ll focus on the new features of the enhanced edit card window in this post:
- You can finally change the category of a card, directly from inside the edit window.. and yes, even while being in a learn session.
- The card text now supports simple text formatting like bold, italic, underlined, superscript (vertically raised) and subscript (vertically lowered) text.
- The unhandy properties tab is replaced by a new collapsible header bar at the top of the edit window. In collapsed form you can check the current deck and expiration date with a quick glance. Expanded it shows you all the detailed information that you’re used to.
- Every card now also stores it’s modification date, which can be seen in the card header bar or be used as a column in the card table.
I hope you like the new features. We’re aiming for an release by the end of this month.

I tried it out today. but when I wanted to save the file, it wiped out my old file. the result is …. nothing left on the file system.
I was trying to get my file back by using reiserfsck –rebuild-tree but it didn’t work for me. this file is gone like never existed :(

I’m sorry to hear that. It seems that the new save system causes problems on Linux. We’re already working on a fix.

Hello jerry, could you please try the following version and tell me if the problem remains?

I’m not jerry, but I had the same problem, and that new version fixes it for me.
Also: Overall, jMemorize is the best flashcard software I’ve tried! Thanks!

wow…you are one of the most efficient open source developers.
This version works. but it leaves a filename.yml~ on the file system. It’s not a problem though:)
I have an idea about it: only delete filename.yml~ if MD5.getHash(filename.yml) == MD5.getHash(filename.yml~)
you may implement this guy’s MD5 package http://www.twmacinta.com/myjava/fast_md5.php
that way, if copy or rename fails for some reason, at least the original filename.yml is untouched
thanks anyway. I have more than 3000 cards in my brain now. gonna export them to my computer before they fade away. lol

sorry…that’s filename.jml~ not filename.yml~
that is Ruby language syndrome.:p

@jerry
Glad to hear that it works now. The jml~ file is on purpose for now. Think of it as an automatic backup creation. We’ll probably rework that again for the next version and make it optional.
PS: Ruby’s pretty cool :)
