SignWriter Studio 1.2.1.0 released

[André L]

Thank you Duncan for this important release.
 
My preliminary usage of SignWriter Studio 1.2.1.0 release showed me that the new features are easy to use and powerful.
 
I will use them to generate French to LSQ dictionaries and to prepare an Anki "tutorial" for LSQ to French.
I will take my time before doing so.  I would prepare some publicity around it so that LSQ interpreters see the interest of having access to 5000 signed words along with a great note taking system.
I may need to translate some existing training books in French.
This way, I could offert a complete access to SignWriting.
 
Obviously, this would be done in concertation with important SignWriters in Québec and Ontario.
 
I expect a good impact.
 
I plan to do updates for Anki tutorial each time a magic number of words is reached in SignPuddle: 5000, 5500, 6000...

    Hi everybody!!,

        I have just released SignWriter Studio 1.2.1.0.  You can get it
    at http://signwriterstudio.com/download.htm

    

    Two very basic features have been added.

    
      Export Dictionary to Anki
      Export Dictionary to Html
    
    How to Export a Dictionary to Anki from SignWriter Studio

      Open SignWriter Studio. Open the Dictionary and be sure the
      options settings are set correctly to show the signs. (You can
      click on the Show All button just to be sure)

      From the file menu choose "Export to Anki..." 

      Beside the Text Filename click on the Browse button enter the
      filename you want to store exported data in (txt is the default
      extension)

      Beside the PNG Folder click on the Browse button, choose the
      folder you want to save the PNGs to 

      (the folder recommended is collection.media folder of the user of
      Anki folder in My documents for example
      C:\Users\Jonathan\Documents\Anki\User 1\collection.media)

      All entries except those marked as "Do not export" with be
      exported.

    

    Click on the Export button.

      

    

    Open Anki.

      From the File menu choose import.  Choose the file you exported in
      the previous step.

      

      The import window should look like this.  Click on Import.

      

      You have now finished importing the signs into Anki

      Anki doesn't like importing cards with the same text.  So if you
      have two signs with the same gloss, make the gloss is slightly
      different or else Anki will only import the first one.

    

    If you want to Export to share the cards, I recommend exporting
      as Anki Deck Package .apkg.  If you export media, all the images
      will be bundled together in one file to share with someone else.

    

    

      How to Export a Dictionary to HTML from SignWriter Studio

      Open SignWriter Studio. Open the Dictionary and be sure the
      options settings are set correctly to show the signs. (You can
      click on the Show All button just to be sure)

      From the file menu choose "Export to HTML..." 

    

    Click on the Browse button to choose a new file to save to.

    

    

      All entries except those marked as "Do not export" with be
      exported.

      Click Export.

    

      You will now have finished exporting.

    

    The file can be open in any browser.

      If you want to print it you can also open the file in Word.  I
      have done this to print two columns of text per page as I would
      normaly with any Word document in two columns.

    

    

    

    Presently there is no way to filter or select a subset of the
      signs in the Dictionary.  But I intend on doing something in that
      regard next.  Look forward to your comments.

    

    Regards,

      Jonathan
