New in tlCorpus 12.1.0.2709 (May 29, 2020)

  • New Tree View right-click command "Add/Edit 'text' child (using dialog)" makes for friendlier editing in some situations than F1

  • [Preview] Popup menu for 'settings' button near top right of Preview Area: Add new user-local toggle option 'Preview masked entries always' that, if enabled [default], shows a preview of 'what a masked-out entry *would* look like IF visible in that styleset' under the "Entry hidden/excluded by styleset mask (edition selection). Use F2 checkboxes (or F1 selection list) to edit edition selection. Use top right of Preview Area to change selected styleset/edition to view" message
  • [Filter (F5)] New filter "match node if 'is-empty'" (element node that has no child elements and no attribute values filled in)
  • New Tools/Options (or Mac Preferences) local user setting "/EditOptions/DisableAutoSortElements" allows you to turn off element auto-sorting
  • [Entry List MRU] (Most-Recently-Used Entries) List: Add double-click to force re-select of clicked entry (if already selected)
  • [Online Publishing Exporter] Four new publish export options in the 'File / Export online publishing' dialog (NB:
  • * AudioTag [default 'true'] Indicates to export sounds using the newer HTML5 'audio' tag instead of the old img+JavaScript approach
  • * AudioTagControls [default 'true'] Adds the play/pause etc. controls on the HTML5 control
  • * AudioTagNoDownload [default 'true'] If 'AudioTag' option on, tries to hide the 'Download' option from the control
  • * OverridePathSounds [Optional] This can be either an absolute URL for the path of the sound files, e.g.:
  • https://yourserver.com/sounds/
  • or a relative path on the Web server, e.g.:
  • /sounds/
  • (There is no real difference between the above two for visitors to the site itself, but if the entries are to be made available via other sites through an API server then the absolute URL https://yourserver.com/sounds/ is better as the sounds will work for API clients - if using a relative URL then the browser will try to locate the sounds on the client website which will not work)
  • NOTE: During publish exports, the OverridePathSounds option CAN be different from the OverridePathImages export option, BUT there is still only one single folder setting in Dictionary/Properties (used during editing in TLex or tlTerm). So locally in TLex/tlTerm your sound files and image files should be in the same folder for the Preview Area to work, but they can go to separate folders on the webserver itself now during publishes by using different settings for these two options.
  • NB NB If one has existing dictionaries that are set up to use the 'old system' of an 'img' tag with JavaScript on the serverside to handle it, then whoever does a new publish with the new publish will HAVE TO set AudioTag to FALSE/OFF (as it's default to TRUE) during exports or existing sounds will break on those old dictionaries.

This can significantly speed up searches in e.g. the Word/Excel Integration tool (or Multi-Document Smart-Search), but does make opening documents a bit slower as it generates a search index when you open your document. [Currently Windows-only]
  • [Filter (F5)] New filter conditions: Is-not-element (find element type nodes that are any but the selected type); IsFirstChildNode and IsLastChildNode (find nodes with no previous-sibling and no next-sibling respectively ... this is more likely to be useful when combined with other filter types using the 'node intersection'/'All on same node' option, e.g. you could do things like 'find senses with something other than a translation equivalent as the first child', etc.)
  • [Filter (F5)] New (error check) filter conditions: "[Ref-to-sense] Unknown cross-reference target sense ('UNKNOWN')" and "[Ref-to-entry] Unknown cross-reference target entry" (these 'shouldn't happen' under normal circumstances, but may in some cases)

  • [alpha] Linked-Mode: You can run Tlex or tlTerm and tlCorpus in a special 'linked mode' (launch it from the Tools menu in TLex/tlTerm by selecting 'Launch tlCorpus linked') where they can talk to one another, then you can do things like launch a tlCorpus search straight from TLex/tlTerm (e.g. via right-clicking in the Lemma List or Term List or Tree View, or from the Word/Excel integration popup etc.), or right-click on a word anywhere in the search results in tlCorpus and send it to TLex/tlTerm as a new entry, or right-click on a line in the tlCorpus search results and select to auto-add it to the selected sense or term as a usage example in TLex/tlTerm etc.
  • [Smart References] Add new output/display setting "Show x-ref sense numbers always even if all senses referenced" (from Preview Area toolbar 'config menu'): Show target sense numbers of cross-referenced senses always, even if only one target sense, or all visible target senses are referenced [Setting is saved local to computer, not in document] [Default: ON]
  • New optional 'color renderer' mode for search results. Can change color scheme. Also highlights primary/secondary-level sort words in bold (this can be toggled on/off). Can also toggle display of word before/after number. [beta]
  • Can now right-click on any word in search results (if using new 'renderer'); the right-click menu includes all common standard commands for the right-clicked word, e.g. launch new search, open Web search or Web Image search for the word, auto-insert into Word or Excel, copy to clipboard, etc. [beta/alpha]
  • Pause/Resume Search button
  • New Section Editor via 'Dictionary/Edit sections' menu (or 'Termbase/Edit sections' for tlTerm, or 'Database/Edit sections' for tlDatabase)
  • Small fixes for support for multi-section tlTerm documents
  • Various improvements/fixes to font usage stats, including better ability to find/fix missing fonts
  • New 'File/Compare/Merge as formatted output text' compare/merge based on formatted-output text of entries rather than data [beta]
  • [XSLT][beta] Can now optionally transform XML output with XSLT (for all three of the main XML exporters). Use a file named after the current styleset (but with .xslt extension) in the output folder (2nd or 3rd or further passes can be specified by adding "(2)", "(3)" etc. to the filename).
  • New exporter "File/Export/XML (tree / raw) as one file"
  • [tlCorpus] Web Crawler: New checkbox option to choose whether to download image files encountered while spidering
  • [Filter (F5)] 'Advanced filters' [Depth Filter] and [Nested Depth Filter] find nodes at a given depth/level (or nesting depth relative to same element type) [added ~2015]

  • [Online Publishing Exporter] New option: "OverridePathImages": [Optional] URL or absolute path or relative path for image files on the publish server; specify this if the images for this document are stored in a different folder online than the main path specified in the main document properties dialog (e.g. if locally you use "./Images" but on the server it should be e.g. "/data/images/" or even an absolute URL, e.g. "http://mysite.com/data/images/").

  • The man walks -- Monna o a sepela
  • then you can specify e.g. "^(.*) -- " and " -- (.*)$" for these two options (respectively) to auto-extract the usage example and its translation.

New in tlCorpus 8.1.0.1272 Beta (May 13, 2014)

  • [Find / Replace dialog] [Beta] [Advanced] Add a new search/replace "filter mode" that allows the search and/or replace to be restricted only to the exact nodes/elements that pass the current filter. This effectively allows "conditional replacements" for conditions occurring on the same node (for example, 'replace some-text with some-other-text in "attribute2", but only if (say) "attribute1" on that same node contains a certain value'; or, 'replace, but only if (say) the node has a "Subentry" parent' - any conceivable 'filter' in the software can be used as a condition, provided it matches the desired node(s)).
  • This "filter mode" currently applies only in the "Default field search" mode, and only if the "Use filters" checkbox is ticked.
  • As an example, assume we want to fill in empty instances of "ElementName::Attribute2" on an element named "ElementName", but only if the value is empty AND only if "ElementName::Attribute1" (on the same element) contains the text "foo" (for this latter check, we'll use an F3 field search applied as a 'search filter', see below). To achieve this, do the following:
  • Make sure to back up your data before trying this, and try it on a test copy of your database first, to make sure it works correctly
  • Open your document
  • Before doing anything else, select the 'Tools/Options' menu command (or Mac 'Preferences' menu), and select the "User Preferences Properties List [Advanced]" tab
  • Find the preference "/Find" "FilterMode", double-click on it, and enter a new value of "2" (without quotes)
  • Click "OK" to close the Options/Preferences window
  • Now, go to 'Search (F3)' (this is not inherently part of using the new "filter mode", but we use it because in this particular case, we are going to use a 'search filter')
  • Click the 'Fields

New in tlCorpus 8.1.0.1265 (May 12, 2014)

  • [Filter (F5)] Add element filter for main 'Lemma' (or 'Entry') element (in theory every entry has one, so it seems redundant, but it can have uses - e.g. make it easier to 'hide all entries' with a filter, or can have uses when used in conjunction with new 'Node intersection' filter type)

  • [Stats] 'Full statistics': For smart-references element (e.g. "References"), add a detailed breakdown of reference-type instance counts and num-references instance counts. Also add corresponding filters (available from within this stats view) for finding smart-reference elements where the number of cross-references is greater-than, less-than, equal-to etc. a given count.
  • [Tools / Advanced] Add new 'Tools/Bulk element/attribute rename' tool (for advanced users) that allows you to quickly rename many elements and/or attributes in the DTD at once by specifying the list of renames to perform in a two-column CSV (Comma-Separated Values - e.g. Excel export) text file. This tool prompts you for a CSV/.txt file which contains on each line a field (either element or attribute) to rename, one per line, then performs the DTD renames as appropriate. Attributes should be specified as: ElementName/AttributeName. Note you should try use the old element names in column one 'throughout', and the new element names in column two 'throughout'. The simplest way to create the input file is using spreadsheet software, e.g. Excel, then doing a 'Save as' to CSV format. What may also be helpful here is the DTD editor command to 'copy full element and element/attribute list to clipboard', which can be pasted into column 1. An example input file to the bulk rename tool looks like:
  • OldElemName,NewElemName
  • OldElemName/OldAttrName1,NewElemName/NewAttrName1
  • OldElemName/OldAttrName2,NewElemName/NewAttrName2
  • ElemName/OldAttrName,ElemName/NewAttrName
  • [Tools / Advanced] Add new 'Tools/[Advanced] Create dynamic-ref-tree smartref elements'. This tool adds two new 'special' elements (with corresponding special attributes) to the DTD, with names starting with "_autogen_ref". When these are present, then when a "References" node generates its output, it does so 'behind the scenes' using temporary 'created-on-the-fly' instances of these new elements/attributes (note you should not manually add instances of these elements to your data). This system makes several improvements to the smart-references, e.g. the styles can now be configured in the Styles system in a more fine-grained manner for smart-reference fields (e.g. reftype, ref, homnum, sensenum), the visibility and order of the smart-reference output fields can be configured separately, the auto-punctuation between references and groups of reference types is more configurable (e.g. the auto-punctuation in cases like "SEE cat, dog, COMPARE zebra"), and it gives typesetters potentially finer control in typesetting smart-reference fields. It also fixes a limitation whereby the smart-reference homnum would be hidden if the main entry homnum field was hidden (as the old behaviour is to inherit the visibility setting from the main entry's homonym number attribute - though this is not a problem for most databases). Note that if these elements and attributes are not present, then the old behaviour still applies. These elements can easily be deleted at any time in the DTD editor to revert to the old behaviour, or created again to switch to the new behaviour.

New in tlCorpus 7.1.0.687 (Sep 3, 2012)

  • 'Tools/Copy field': Add 'Help' button that opens integrated help explaining in more detail how to use this advanced tool (as well as more information on the tQuery expression syntax)
  • [Tools / Advanced] Add new 'Tools/XML bulk regex replace' tools that allow a bulk regular-expression-based search and replace (somewhat like the "sed" tool) to be performed on each entry's underlying XML. The script syntax is as follows: "#" at the start of a line denotes a comment line; otherwise, "_" separates 'search for' and 'replace with' strings (one per line), e.g. "^([^]+)_\1" would extract bold at the start of the entry and place it into a 'LemmaSign' element. Blank lines are ignored. This tool can be particularly useful for post-import data remodelling and clean-up (although it was possible to do this via export and re-import previously, it can now be done in TLex/tlTerm/tLDatabase directly).
  • [Search and Replace] New 'Search across entry as XML [Advanced]' option that allows you to search (or replace) in the XML of a full entry (e.g. "(noun)" => "")
  • [Search and Replace] New 'List all matching values'' command generates a list of all strings that match the (regular expression) search query in the document (e.g. a regular expression search for "l[^ ]+t" would generate a list of all words in the document that start with 'l' and end with 't'. This command can also be used with the new 'Search across entry as XML' option, so you could, for example, generate a list of all characters following a given element by searching for the regular expression ".".
  • [Preview] Add new 'View/Toggle XML view' option that displays a basic XML view of the selected entry in the Preview Area
  • [Tree View] Add new right-click edit command 'Delete node only' that deletes just the given node but not its children, with the children shifting up to occupy the spot occupied by the deleted node
  • [Error checks] Add 'fix in DTD' command for missing parent->child element relations
  • [Stats] Add 'text', 'CDATA' and 'error' child node counts for each element under parent->child stats section
  • [Stats] Fixed: Parent->Child element counts didn't display in normal full stats if that Parent->Child relation wasn't allowed in the DTD (i.e. constituted a DTD violation in the data)
  • New setting (under 'Tools/Options/Properties') 'UserInterface/ExpandedViewDefault' allows you to specify whether Expanded View mode opens by default when you open a document (setting value: 0 = off by default, 1 = on by default, 2 = remember last setting for each document)
  • Miscellaneous bugfixes and improvements

New in tlCorpus 7.1.0.670 (Aug 20, 2012)

  • 'Tools/Split field': Add new option to add new elements as new child nodes instead of doing a 'replace'
  • [Sorting] The table-based multi-level sort can now properly handle digraphs (and other multiple-Unicode-character character forms such as combining characters)
  • [Importer] [Experimental/Advanced] New Xpressive-based generic importer. This is a new generic, customizable data conversion system for bringing data into TLex/tlTerm/tlDatabase. (As it is not yet stable, you need to first enable the 'Experimental' option under 'Tools/Options/Properties', then after app restart it will be accessible under 'Tools'). It can be used already by advanced users.)
  • [tQuery] Add support for "@id" 'special attribute' to retrieve underlying unique ID of node

New in tlCorpus 7.1.0.629 (Jul 21, 2012)

  • [Compare/Merge] Add/enable new 'structured view' feature

  • Add 'new improved' language selector dialog
  • Right-click on text(s): In addition to 'Select Language/Encoding', also add just a 'Select Language' option (if you'd rather not mess with the encoding)
  • Right-click on text(s): New Wordlist for selected text(s) only command
  • Right-click on text(s): New separate Open (text file) command opens the actual generated text file(s) for cached-text file types, e.g. PDF and Word (the default 'Open' command opens the original e.g. PDF or Word file)
  • Web Crawler: Now attempts to automatically fill in the source text date and name (title), if available in the grabbed HTML file (e.g. as HTML metadata - many news sites, for example, embed such fields within the HTML)
  • Web Crawler: Add two separate 'URL' and 'Go' buttons - one for manually entered URLs (or URL patterns/lists), and the other monitors the clipboard at all times (for URLs or URL patterns/lists)
  • Web Crawler: Add new option 'Output folder' that allows you to configure the folder to save downloaded files into
  • Web Crawler: Add new option 'Don't download any URLs that correspond to files that have previously already been added to the corpus'

New in tlCorpus 7.1.0.610 (Jun 27, 2012)

  • Web Crawler: Add new feature 'Monitor clipboard and automatically download URLs'. This allows you to, for example, sit in your browser, right-click on links and 'copy link to clipboard' on multiple addresses (e.g. documents or images etc.) that you wish to download.
