5 months ago Finally I think/hope we've reached a state which can be released to the main version. So please @jamjolu @msantos-87 @arasaac-dga read this final changes/new features and test them:
- for word forms now it's possible to define an optional
Pronunciation, so if TTS fails, you can provide an alternative, which is only used for TTS, not for showing in the bar: - Import/Export of word forms now offers the possibility to import/export all word forms across all grids, so only a single action for updating the whole configuration is needed:
Note that for import from speadsheet you must have these columns:
WORD FORM,LANG (2 digits),TAGS (comma separated),LABEL,PRONUNCIATION. Order of colums is important, but not all have to be existing, so it's also possible to copy only the first ones.LABELhas to be the label of the element in the grid in the current language, so, e.g.befor all rows (only important for importing globally). - possibility to toggle elements in collection bar, if selected multiple times, see previous comment.
- other minor improvements:
- button for deleting all word forms
- showing language names in language dropdowns (see https://github.com/asterics/AsTeRICS-Grid/issues/364 )
- dropdown for filtering word forms by language
- the option to convert the case (lower-, uppercase) should now correctly work for all word forms and within the bar
Additionally I did quite big changes to the code for the collection element (bar). Previously I've collected "text only" and "elements with images" separately, which results in quite complex and error-prone code. So I've changed it and now I'm collecting elements only in a single, unified way. However of course, this should be tested well, in order to make sure that I haven't broken something that was working before.
I've updated my test configuration, which you could also use: test-grammar_2024-02-07_09-55_asterics-grid-full-backup.zip
It contains:
- new tests for "speak custom" and "play audio actions", which still "win" against word forms, so if both are defined (which doesn't make much sense), the older features will win.
- a test for the case with
Tom and Ana are tired(see previous comment) - two collection bars, one using images, one text-only in order to see if both are working correctly
- a keyboard with word prediction, in order to test if everything there is still working correctly
If everything works fine and no errors are found, I would like to release this state and for fine-tuning or minor feature improvements, we should use new issues.
@arasaac-dga please also update the translations in crowdin.

I closed my own issue, #252 by accident (my own Github ignorance.) It is just as well as the suggestion by Klues led me to this proposal instead. I propose a button action that would permit users to toggle through various word forms for verbs, nouns, and adjective/adverbs. As Klues proposed a new tab in the button editing box called "grammar" into which one could record various verb conjugations and inflections, singular/plural noun forms, adjectival or adverbial alternatives etc.. I propose a more generic "word forms" tab that would be independent of grammar. Examples: be am is are being was were been box boxes hot hotter hottest
It could also function as a way to toggle through members of a related set: (positive, comparative, superlative) - good better best (sibling names) - John Mary Bob Mike
The Word Forms tab would would allow user's to record the set of word alternatives. The element action would index over the set of alternatives based on the last entry in the Collection element and replace the last element if an alternative exists. A button element with more than one word form could have a small + on it (similar to the small box for links) to denote the existence of word alternatives.
Please check out #252 for a more complete discussion. Thanks, jl
