Personal Lexicon Forums

requesting features and general support

dummy@example.com (zandersmith) — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 21:54:49 +0000

Hello. I don't know how many people are looking at these forums, but enough people have downloaded and registered that I thought I should post the first message. The site is new as of last week and I've already gotten a couple enhancement requests as well as a few general support questions. It would probably be a good idea if most questions are posed in the forums instead of using the support email. That way everyone can have access to the answers. Soon, I'll change the FAQ to point to the forum instead of the support email address. That doesn't mean that you can't send email directly to support if you want.

As for feature requests, I need to gather input and opinions on what features would be most valuable. If you want to see a particular feature added to the next version of PL then I suggest posting a message in this forum and asking for people to vote for it. That way I'll know what enhancements should take priority. I certainly appreciate any input, even if a proposed feature doesn't make it into the next release.

cheers,

Alexander

new release

dummy@example.com (karmyna54) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:02:46 +0000

Greetings. The new website and version 1.2 of the software has been out for about a month now and the response has been good even without me doing much marketing. We've had thousands of downloads and some new registrations. I hope that the new Keyboard Builder tool is making it easier for everyone to input non-standard characters. I still need to update the documentation to explain how to use it, which I will be doing shortly. My hope is that the Keyboard Builder tool is fairly intuitive. I would love to hear if you agree or not. Please share any feedback you have either by responding to this post or by using the contact form on the website.

The next version of the software is being worked on as we speak. If you have any questions or comments about upcoming new features, again please let me know. I think everyone will be pleased.

Cheers.

Nouns and gender

dummy@example.com (zandersmith) — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 19:15:12 +0000

Since nouns either be masculine or feminine it is superfluous to have (noun / fem) - all I need is (masc) or (fem) after a noun. If I leave out the abbreviation for noun I get (/ fem). How do I tidy it up to simply have (fem)?

Using conjugation information in a test

dummy@example.com (neilwykes) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:32:26 +0000

Hi all,
I've been using Personal Lexicon for a while now, mostly for Spanish adjectives and nouns, but I've just started using it for German and can't find a way to include the conjugation data of a verb in a test. am I missing something obvious? (I can't find an answer to this in the manual or FAQ)

Thank you in in advance

Neil

The scope of PersonalLexicon

dummy@example.com (zandersmith) — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:13:52 +0000

Hallo!
this is only my second post and I have only had the product on my desktop for a few hours.
I have looked at innumerable tools to find a base suitable for the creation of an English German dictionary.
This product looks as if it has a framework better than anything I have seen to date.
What I do not understand is that the community is very small and posting members are limited.
Why?
Regards, forkinpm.

Creating a dual language dictionary

dummy@example.com (forkinpm) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:08:15 +0000

Hallo!
I have just downloaded the PersonalLexicon, to be able to create an English German dictionary.
I write in English and wish to create the dictionary to support the translation of my texts into German.

Are there any other users of the product out there with similar activities. If there are I would very much like to have contact with them.

Please make yourselves known

Regards, forkinpm.

Other Alphabets?

dummy@example.com (zandersmith) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 07:12:14 +0000

I'd love to see a version of Personal Lexicon that accommodates non-Latin alphabets. I'm currently using PL to learn Italian, but I would like to be able to use it to learn Greek as well. If this feature is already available and I'm just not aware of it, I'd appreciate an explanation of how to use it.

Thanks!

new minor version released (ver. 1.1)

dummy@example.com (zandersmith) — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 07:43:11 +0000

A new minor version of the software was released today (17-Aug). It fixes a bug that caused significant problems when building a lexicon with all custom lexical types.

Another release is in the works, perhaps 3 months down the road. If you have any requests for features then please let me know. I can't promise anything, but I will put them in if at all possible.

Exporting data

dummy@example.com (zandersmith) — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 20:55:01 +0000

Can an exported lexicon be opened with Excel? And vice versa, can data entered in Excel be imported into Personal Lexicon?
