FieldWorks Lite
- this is very much an alpha, so make sure your data is backed up first if it's important.
- The landing page should have a simple list of all your FW projects (right now it's hard coded to list each folder in 'C:\ProgramData\SIL\FieldWorks\Projects'), click the open button with the FW icon and it will open the editor on the page.
- When working with this editor all changes are saved automatically once you finish editing a field (once the text field loses focus)
- all entries created will have the Morph type of stem (root in the build above), we can change that default if something else makes more sense, but I don't think it makes sense to expose that in a simple tool like this.
- The FW project will be locked while using this tool, meaning you can't open the project in flex while you have it open in FW Lite. There will be a button to open an entry in FW, this will close the project in FW Lite, and launch FW using the link to entry feature in FW.
- There is no S&R in this tool or anyway to fetch a project, that must all be done via flex for now.
- There's only support for editing these object types: Entry, Sense, Example sentence. Some things like Part of speech and Semantic domains are supported on Sense, if you want to change the name of a part of speech or add a new one that must be done from FLEx.
- There are buttons to reorder senses and example sentences, however those changes don't get saved right now.
- Sorting of entries is by headword, we may consider adding other sort options in the future
- The little book button to the left of the filter bar shows a list of exemplar characters and will let you filter by those.
- logs can be found in
%appdata%\SIL\FwLiteDesktop\DataC:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\SIL\FwLiteDesktop\Data - there are 2 files, app.log and web-app.log, be sure to send both.
