zkanji v0.731 non-english import error Solution

Anonymous — Sun, 20 Sep 2020 06:09:56 -0000

Hello.
Your zkanji program is very user friendly.
But I am having trouble using the import function.
And more specifically:
1) I exported the Russian dictionary to the file "rus.zkanji.export"
(see Clipboard01.jpg)
2) imported it into a new dictionary and got errors:
(see Clipboard02.jpg)

3) as a result, the symbols are displayed incorrectly in the new dictionary. (see Clipboard03.jpg)

Solution for fix import error:

1) I found an inaccuracy in the code regarding the import of the dictionary:

// fix import error - utf8 2 byte cinvert symbols
// [bad format] corrupt definition data
// [bad format] corrupt kanji line
1) open zkformats.cpp
2) replace 321 line
wc = ((c [0] & 0xF) << 6) | (c [1] & 0x3F);
to
wc = ((c [0] & 0x1F) << 6) | (c [1] & 0x3F);

2) There is also a bug with importing a dictionary, in the meaning field if there is a space in the line first.
My example of fixing this problem:
// a message appears: [bad format] corrupt definition data
open import.cpp
replace starting at line 2042
if (token [pos + 1] == 0)
{
error = true;
marker = NULL;
return NULL;
}
int tlen = wcslen (token);
marker = token;

to
int tlen = wcslen (token);
marker = token;

if (token [pos + 1] == 0)
{
// error = true;
// marker = NULL;
// return NULL;
* (marker + tlen) = L '';

NextToken (searchdata, L '\ t');

if (searchdata.separator! = L '\ t' || (* searchdata.next! = L '' && * searchdata.next! = 0)) // End of string before tab character was found or tab was in the middle of a string.
{
error = true;
marker = NULL;
return NULL;
}
}
else

3) fix kanji impot bug.

open collection.cpp
replace 2919 line
wcscpy(Items[ix]->kanjidat[kindex].meaning, meaning.c_str());
to
wcscpy(Items[ix]->kanjidat[kindex].meaning, meaning.w_str());

What can you do about it?
I can try to correct it myself in the source code, if you tell me how.
Initially, I wanted to use the export and import functions to combine two dictionaries into one.

#58 Could not update dictionary

Thank you for the report! I can't use the development tools I used for this version of zkanji anymore, so I can't fix this (or any other) bug. After a few years of break, I decided to completely rewrite zkanji, and it is close to being completed. You can check https://zkanji.wordpress.com/ for more information. The latest released version can't use the old user files, so if you have used zkanji in the past and want to import study data, please wait until a new release is made.

I had same issue. (fresh installation)
On the download page, the default download is zkanji_0_731_Setup.exe with OLD dictionary which seems to have problem with the endless update.
I uninstall(maybe not necessary) zkanji_0_731_Setup.exe and install zkanji_0_731_Setup_newdir.exe then update progress finishes normally (shows there is no update).

For anyone still having this issue, you can go over to the files tab and download the update exe manually.

Hi! The new version is currently in beta and will be released soon, but possibly not on this site. You can find out about it here: https://github.com/z1dev/zkanji/
Use the Releases link to get the latest. Since it doesn't have update checker anymore (not sure how to do it in the new version yet) you will have to check manually if there's a new version out.

Same problem. I am attaching the ini that crashed as well as the one it was replaced with when I moved it which works fine again. Thanks for a great piece of software!
