Savant. That is, org.thdl.savant.SoundPanel
has been eliminated in favour of these classes,
which are shared between QD and Savant.
The main change is that SmartMoviePanels
can now communicate with the outside world,
for example to send messages to a Savant
text window telling it to update highlights.
ACIP or 'ShSm' in Extended Wylie to see the new behavior.
We use a trie to store valid input sequences. In the future, we could use
the same trie as a replacement for the more inefficient HashSets we use to
store characters, vowels, and punctuation. For example, we'd use
'validInputSequences.put("K", new Pair("consonant", "k"))' when reading
in the ACIP keyboard's description of the first consonant of the Tibetan
alphabet in 'TibetanKeyboard.java'.
Note that the current trie implementation is only useful for 7- or 8-bit
transcription systems, and works best for tries with low average depth, which
describes a transcription system's trie very well. If you used arbitrary
Unicode in your keyboard, you'd need a different trie implementation.
Improved the optional keyboard input mode status messages.
Added a JUnit test for the new Trie that fails at present since the Trie is
case-insensitive. Running JUnit tests is not something our build system
knows about at present, but Eclipse 2.0 makes it very easy.
Fixed a few compiler errors due to imports I'd forgotten.
DefaultStyledDocument, and another consisting entirely of static utility
methods for processing Tibetan text. Moved TibetanDocument.DuffData
into its own class.
I think this makes things a bit more transparent, and gets us a little closer to
making clean use of Swing.

I cleaned things up a bit, and I've made logging optional since I don't yet
trust the code fully.
A Wylie underscore at the end of a line is worth looking into further, at the
very least.
is basically that we use our own special ViewFactory, with a new
subclass of LabelView (the view RTFEditorKit uses for the nitty
gritty) that is aware of Tibetan.
There are a couple of nasty hacks still here, and Swing's
documentation for doing what I did was quite poor. I searched the web
for hours, read the Javadocs and the tutorials, and consulted a Swing
reference book, but I still don't have tremendous confidence in this
solution. If it fundamentally doesn't work, though, we have to define
our own first-class Document, Element hierarchy, ViewFactory, Views,
and EditorKit. So let's hope it *does* work fundamentally.
I can't say for sure if this even works, as I have yet to run this
code on a machine where Jskad works properly. I had major trouble
installing the TMW fonts on Linux, and have yet to resolve it, even
after verifying via xlsfonts that the fonts were installed and then
changing TibetanMachineWeb.java to look for them. Because I haven't
tested this yet, a lot of nasty code is tagged 'DLC' and commented
out.
Smart*Player.java, which are accessed via reflection. Cleaned up the
code a bit so that it would compile in so doing.
Changed the 'options.txt' preferences file to reflect the new method
of selecting media players.
I fixed this the easy way, by checking the value of isEditable() before
cutting, pasting, or adding typed text. I may have missed a spot, but
checking at a lower level is a bit less efficient.
Fixing this the hard way, the keymaps-and-overridden-default-action way,
seems like it will make the code uglier, not cleaner. And it won't get us
closer to fixing the killer bug, 614475, "Improper Line Wrapping".
and fixed aspects of QD's QT for Java component. At the moment
there are two classes, SmartQT4JPlayer and SmartJMFPlayer, that
both extend SmartMoviePanel, an abstract class extending Panel.
If it would be better to make SmartMoviePanel an interface that
would only require minor changes.
You can switch back and forth between JMF and QT4J from the
menu bar, or you can type:
java -Dthdl.media.player=qt4j/jmf -jar QuillDriver.jar
Note that the QT4J module crashes sometimes before it can open
the video file. I'm not sure why.
string-valued preferences built atop java.util.Properties.
How it works: the jvm is asked first, and then the user's prefs file, if it exists,
then the system-wide prefs file, and then the built-in preferences. Finally, for
robustness, a default may be optionally hard-coded in the source.
I made several things configurable, too:
the default Tibetan keyboard
the default font sizes and faces
whether you want developer-only features enabled
Savant's file extension (.savant)
etc.
The only known problems are the following:
The default location for the user's preferences file is windows-specific,
arbitrary, and not in the user documentation. Likewise for the location of the
system-wide preferences file. You can change them using 'java -D', though.
There is no "Save preferences" option yet, and closing the program does
not save preferences either.
that you don't want one. It's on by default.
If you set another system property, every keypress in "Tibetan" input mode
causes an update to the status bar. The messages are for developers, not
users, so this option is off by default.
Updated to use the new log file facility.
Added great flexibility to the code that creates the log file. It is property
driven at present, and the default behavior is the same as the old default
behavior, except that a message is printed to standard output telling the
user which log file is being used, and that they should include its contents
in bug reports.
You can log to the temporary directory, a directory of your choice, or (by
default) the current directory. Edward's related feature request can now
quickly be fulfilled.
comments.
Reformatted the code in processTibetan() in an attempt to understand what
it does. I'll soon commit some code that updates a status bar with "what
Jskad is thinking" in this maze of control flow.
Added a "Quit" option to Savant's File menu. Factored out the Close
option in doing so.
Exceptions in many action listeners are now handled by
org.thdl.util.ThdlActionListener or org.thdl.util.ThdlAbstractAction.
Many exceptions that we used to just log now optionally cause aborts.
This option is on by default for developers using 'ant savant-run'-style
targets, but it is off for users.
An erroneous CLASSPATH now causes a useful error message in almost
all situations.
Fixed some typos and bad links in Javadoc comments.
Added a simple assertion facility, but the overhead is suffered even in
release builds.
Factored out the code that sets up log files like savant.log and jskad.log.
nor MAC nor Unix nor anything else. That last line must have been the
thing that made CVS's import choke.
Now these have correct line feeds--\r\n on DOS/Win32, \n on Unix, \r on
Mac.
