CafeTran Espresso 2017 Harbinger - Release Candidate 3

Ho ho ho,

 

CafeTran Espresso 2017 Harbinger aka Release Candidate 3 is available for download. The update can be performed via the Drag & Drop procedure as follows:


1. Run CafeTran.

2. Download 20161222_update.zip file from here (do not unzip or rename the file after downloading) and place it on your desktop.


Note: On Mac OSX, the Safari web browser may unzip the file automatically after downloading. To prevent this, just use the right-click menu and choose the "Download Linked File" command.

 

3. Drag and drop the downloaded file into the Project Dashboard and restart the program.


Alternatively, you can install the update via the Update button in the Help > About panel instead of dragging and dropping.


What's new:

  • New Term/Fragment dialog got a button to add a new entry without closing the dialog. It enables translators to add multiple TM/glossary entries at a time.
  • The refreshed dark and white eye-friendly texture themes (menu View > Themes). Image background transparent dark/bright themes are there to reduce eye strain and allow brightness adjustment with the slider in the source segment toolbar.
  • Polished Nimbus look and feel becomes default on Windows and Linux systems. It does not replace your current look and feel. You will need to choose it in Preferences > Appearance tab if you wish to try it.
  • New option: View > Tabs > Bottom tabs placement.

Hey Terry,


Nice to see that you're still giving CafeTran a try!


Please use this menu to toggle the QuickViewBar:

> For me it would be useful if clicking on New term wouldn't delete the content of the source and target box (even when adding them to the glossary): this would allow me to easily add similar entries (like plurals that cannot be entered via selection or dash variants):

 

Yes, it will be possible soon via holding CTRL key.

Hi Andrey,


CafeTran saves the project/glossaries/memories for you regularly during the work and when you exit it as well.  There is no need for interface buttons when the action is infrequent or it is handled by the program automatically. 

Hi Igor,


In Preferences > Workflow, I see 

Auto-save project (segments): 3

Auto-save memory (segments): 5

Auto-save glossary (entries): 1


So CafeTran does not save regularly, e.g. in each 10 minutes, but saves when there are 3 new segments translated. The unit in autosave is not time but segments/entries. One will lose only the last 2 segments if the program crashes or power goes. Hope I understood it correctly.

Hello Selcuk,


> Hope I understood it correctly.


That's correct if the power is off unexpectedly.

In connection with this, I'd like to request additional buttons on the New Term/Fragment panels. Holding CTRL key might be a good idea, but such a feature must be documented somewhere simply because no one would try it unless they know it's available.


So, "visible" buttons should be better; they can speak for themselves.


My proposal is to add the following buttons.


Add & Clone (to retain the current content to add a more or less similar term/fragment pair)

Add & Clear (to clear the current content to add a completely different term/fragment pair)

Add & Close (to add the current content and close the panel)


Cheers,

The Ctrl is used that way in other dialogues too. It's CafeTran consistency.
Hi,
after one of recent updates I noticed two problems that persist.
First, "Hide source segment tags" option switches itself on from time to time.
Second, even when "Hide memory match colour in the source segment" is on, the software still marks some memory fragments with glossary colour.

Hello Igor,


I preferred the "cafe" theming on the top of the dashboard, but this is a matter of personal aesthetics.


On a more objective note, would it be possible to improve the buttons display (Open Project & Start a new project) ? On my installation, they are transparent and inherit the dashbord background.


This also occurs when choosing to Add a new document.


See the attached screenshot


Thank you!

Yes, I really liked it. Made CafeTran standing out.

Thanks for the polished Nimbus! Looks gorgeous.


And the tab-at-bottom option looks wonderful.

Thanks for the feedback! I have just uploaded another build with small visual Dashboard's corrections and sticky (kept across sessions) option for the bottom tabs placement. As for the Dashboard's coffeehouse theme, it's back until I take a photo of another coffeehouse.

I cannot find the search bar anywhere. It was always there before, and after the upgrade -- gone. Have looked in the menus without any luck.
