CafeTran

Sorry, I cannot find the relevant postings so I'll just create a new topic.

I'd really welcome a means of automation. A Java macro tool, VBA or whatever cross-platform solution to add simple actions like:

- Change all words between tags to initial uppercase

etc. etc. etc.

Keyboard Maestro is just too problematic with CafeTran :(

Regarding: Keyboard Maestro

I had everything working. Then came a new version of Keyboard Maestro. The developer had already declared that by no means he was going to facilitate Java apps :(. I'll have to redo nearly all my (mostly case conversion) macros. So a CafeTran-own solution would really be great for me.

I'm on Yosemite here, I'm making my brest wet what will happen if I move to El Capitan ...

BTW: An automation solution could also allow us to add features as: compare length of source segment with length of target segment ;).

@Hans: I'll have to redo nearly all my (mostly case conversion) macros.

Please don't say that you saw that coming ;).

Hans CafeTran Wiki: Please don't say that you saw that coming

I didn't see it coming, although I read somewhere on the forum Peter wasn't going to support Java apps.

Can't you just "put back" the old KBM build, or won't that run onder newer versions of OS X/Java either?

Hans CafeTran Wiki: Change all words between tags to initial uppercase

Can you provide an example? A sentence, please? It's a macro, right? If you want to change all occurrences in the project file, a regex would be (much) easier.

As we say in Holland Caravan Land: dat blijft behelpen

In clear Anglais: native support of automation is always better.

Sentences like:

Don't press the red button.

In CafeTran there are two tags around the translation: 'rode knop'. I'd like to have initial uppercase for all button names:

Blijf met je tengels van de Rode knop af! (Ja, ook jij, Hans!)

Hans CafeTran Wiki: native support of automation is always better.

Native what? Java, CafeTran, or OS X?

Don't press the red button.

I don't understand. What did that KBM macro do?

H.

Find all tags and replace the first letter after a tag with the uppercase version of that letter. I have the same macro for opening quotes. And for characters/symbols that are often used to indicate menu items:

Algemeen > Wifi > Instellingen

It's awfully cool to have all words after such an '>' started with an uppercase letter with one keyboard shortcut. I'd even use the term 'ubercool' for that.

As I wrote in another posting: When you switch to El Capitán, you need to install the "new" Java 6 for OS X from Apple to run OpenOffice/LibreOffice and some other Java apps (do not ask why, OO/LO should run without it), but this won't interfere with the previously installed Oracle Java. 

When reading some news around this, I heard that there won't be any Java for OS X for the following OS 10.12, at least not from Apple, while Oracle will probably continue the development. Again: Don't ask me what that means. Perhaps these are only rumors.

So what you want is:

• Find > followed by one word
• Select that one word
• Make initial capital

Torsten: When you switch to El Capitán

My educated guess: You did a "clean install" of El Capi, and thus copulated up everything.

H.

No, I must confess the install was dirty … indeed I was unsure whether to do a clean install or not, but as there is a major hardware upgrade planned (here on the desk), I preferred to do the whole reinstall hassle later, not now.

Note: El Capi and Parallels 10 are a real nightmare (despite having the last Parallels update installed, and I won't buy the update this time), but you switched to Fusion anyway, didn't you?

Torsten RE: you switched to Fusion anyway, didn't you?

Me no use Windows. I'm a Mac pur sang.
