bogleg Posted March 21, 2008 at 11:26 PM Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 at 11:26 PM Hi character, Sorry it took so long, but there's a new build in the sandbox area that now does auto-fill of traditional characters for new entries. You can download it from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133341&package_id=242433&release_id=585912 Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
character Posted March 22, 2008 at 03:04 PM Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 at 03:04 PM Sorry it took so long, but there's a new build in the sandbox area that now does auto-fill of traditional characters for new entries.When I try it, I can't get any auto-fill to happen. Perhaps some third person could try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogleg Posted March 22, 2008 at 05:33 PM Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 at 05:33 PM Hmm, what build did you end up downloading? When it starts up, does it show 0.7.1 on the splash screen? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
character Posted March 22, 2008 at 08:36 PM Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 at 08:36 PM 0.7.1 Here are the error logs.

leib1 Posted April 7, 2008 at 04:55 PM Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 at 04:55 PM Hi, ZDT is a great software, still I have some minor problems probably due to my os setup. - Sometimes I see squares instead of chinese signs - sometimes the chinese sign are rotated Can someone pls tell me what is wrong. Thanks a lot Leib1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogleg Posted April 8, 2008 at 04:12 AM Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 at 04:12 AM Hi leib1, You're probably not using a font that can render chinese characters if its appearing as squares. Also, if you choose a font that begins with @, it will appear rotated. Try some other fonts and see if it works better. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radial Posted May 7, 2008 at 12:21 AM Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 at 12:21 AM I got a couple charcters which I inputed but the program cannot process them. 墙 心猿意马 Most of the times i can just paste a phrase as a new engry and it will resolve the charactere/sound (and often the definition correctly). However, about once or twice a session i run into a charracter or phrase which does not resolve correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putonghua73 Posted May 9, 2010 at 04:12 PM Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 at 04:12 PM Hi Chris, After all these years, I am finally using electronic flashcards, and have installed ZDT 0.7.0 on my netbook (Ubuntu set-up). I am going through the painful process of creating a whole bunch of new categories, based upon how my brain works - pronouns, nouns, adverbs, verbs, adjectives, etc - and linking words within wordlists to this set-up. Quick question right off the bat, does the annotate function allow one to add examples to a flashcard? i.e. on the reverse of the flashcard, can an example sentence be added incorporating the word / character (above / below the pinyin)? One of the learning tips I obtained from Chinesepod was to learn words as a 'chunk' within a sentence, as opposed to just learning a character / word. This method has immeasurably improved my ability not only to memorise words, but also to use them in an effective manner. Or can I add examples within the 'definition'? I suspect it is the latter. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted May 10, 2010 at 03:49 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 at 03:49 PM I believe the answer is no. From the ZDT help file: The Annotation view allows you to input chinese characters. Use the mouse to hover any character to show an annotated popup which includes the character's pinyin and definition. Characters that have been 'annotated' appear green and the corresponding pinyin will appear in the pinyin area. If the characters appear red, use the 'Re-Annotate' (Ctrl-R) function to reannotate all of the characters. I think it is separate from an individual card. HOWEVER, version 0.8.0 does have the ability to add additional per-card information. It is probably closer to what you want. Look here for more details: http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/17270-zdt-080-status/ Unfortunately, this version is still beta, and Chris seems to have stopped working on ZDT. So use with caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putonghua73 Posted May 11, 2010 at 09:36 AM Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 at 09:36 AM Thanks for your response, jbradfor. I think I'll try Anki instead, as from speaking with a fellow student who has used Anki to study Japanese and is now studying Chinese, Anki may better suit my way of studying. Cheers!
