Parley Practice NG 23rd attempt

Work on the parley practice happens in a branch here: Browse WebSVN online

Check it out: svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/parley-practice/

General

• remove old practice code F
• does Paraphrase make any sense at all? no - remove paraphrase - it is not used in any single document we could find
• remove Antonym completely
• find an icon for stop practice (toolbar)
• show the current grade of the word that is practiced in the grade widget

Synonyms

• get rid of current way of handling them in the lib? BIC!!!???!!!
• use a stringlist instead
• make it possible to edit them in the table - how to separate two of them? semicolon?
• change/rewrite dock widget
• practice options (is this really really needed?):
  • accept any synonym as correct
  • ask to enter all synonyms
  • ask until the exact word that is wanted is there, but don't count other synonyms as wrong on the way there

Configure Practice

• Currently check boxes and radio buttons are shown ->remove radios F
• is it OK to have options across all types of practice on the same page?
• language selection: instead of having two lists, just have one list containing "French → German" and "German → French"

Completely Missing

Still missing are:

• Conjugations done right - argh
• Vocabulary test (school like) with good summary and "grade"

Easy ones reusing the written front end should be:

• Comparative forms, articles
• Example sentences

Flash Card

• Radio buttons make little sense here - I'd rather have 2-3 buttons - I knew it well, not good, not at all (?)

Multiple Choice

• Unset the selected choice after an answer (radio button)
• Showing the "I knew it"/"Did not know it" below the other radios looks bad
• Make number of multiple choice answers configurable in the config practice dialog

Written

• Hint needs to be implemented in a sane way (now it shows the solution directly) - done (Frederik)
• Feedback - when a new word is shown, it still says "Your answer was wrong" - done (Frederik)
• Ignore accent / capitzalisation mistakes is not implemented currently
• make sure that "I did (not) know it" actually does the right thing
• I think I just had an empty word shown - make sure they are filtered away

All Practice Modes

• Grading - how do we give grades, how do words advance? Especially when combining modes (doing FlashCard, MC and Written all in one go)

• every word that was answered correctly is shown as "right on first attempt" in summary - no way to get anything wrong :D maybe change that...

• feedback text: not "wrong idiot", not "I fear this was wrong.." but good sentences

Summary

• Needs detailed list of mistakes made in written, maybe other modes
• On the first (tab?) show the edit and (configure?) practice buttons, it is half empty anyway

General (not practice related)

• New rows are appended when pressing enter in the row above the last one, not in the last one - Qt 4.6 regression?
• changes in dock widgets are not reflected in table -> model needs to emit dataChanged for the view to update (not working since the editing happens without models knowledge)

Profiles and config and zip

• Instead of using current kvtml files, use the same with compression
• add images, sound and other media into the zip file
