[java version 1.2.0_02(build b05)]
[winXP and IE 6]

Things that look weird and make little n00bs like me feel nervous:

Added more configuration for Overlib pop-ups

Post by FuguTabetai »

I have added two more options in the HTML Export portion of the Options panel. The first is an "Overlib Template" which lets you completely customize the HTML used to generate the text of the pop-up. Each translation will use the template, and %TEXT% will be replaced with the text of the translation, and %AUTHOR% will be replaced with the author of the translation. The "Include Annotation Author" option has been removed, because you can just leave %AUTHOR% out of the template.

Additionally, the "Translation Separator" option lets you put some text in that will be placed in between two translations in the bubble. Of course, HTML is good, so a hr tag (or br, which is the default) is a good bet here.

This was actually the easiest thing on the list to look at. I don't know if I will look at the other things anytime soon.

Note that the GMAOServer also picks up this change since it reuses the same code. In order for it to pick up the settings, you have to copy the entries in the GMAO.props file that start with htmlTemplate to the GMAOServer.props file. I'm not going to try to shoe-horn this configuration GUI into the GMAOServer also. Just open the two files up with notepad or your favorite text editor, and copy and paste away. Cheers,

Hm, I don't know what that is, but I guess it is some sort of adult manga. That's fine really; GMAO is a tool, and isn't responsible for how it is used. It is just nice to see people using it.

If it is hentai though, it will be strange for people that you have to zip up the .HTML files along with the images... :)

figured it out

Post by Guest »

I think I figured it out... but it's pretty stupid. My computer runs on a Japanese Windows XP, and I have two users set up. One is in romanji, and one is in hiragana. I usually work from the hiragana user, so preferences and such are stored under a folder with that hiragana... English programs can't figure out hiragana, so it came out as gibberish to the Java program, probably. When I went to the romanji user and tried launching GMAO, it worked fine.

I still think it's dumb though. :?

Thanks for your help!

Yes, that is kind of dumb. Java itself knows about Unicode and other encodings, so it should run fine under a non-ASCII user name, but I suspect that Windows and Java Web Start don't play nicely on that aspect for some reason.
