Sleep chart calendar does not work with negative intervals

[nydn]

It looks like, I can choose past dates, but only until the installation date. Since I installed it yesterday, I can choose yesterdays date.
I can't remember if this is expected and it's a feature, because it was more than a year since I last installed supermemo on Windows and I don't have a Windows VM currently to test this out. So a confirmation about this would be great.

Since in SM17 sleep data is integrated into the learning process, the earliest date you can choose is the collection's first day (this appears to be by design). This is consistent between Windows and Wine.

If you have earlier sleep data you would like to add to the collection:

1. Download the standalone edition of SleepChart (1.0) and run it with wine SleepChart.exe (no add-ons or tweaks needed)
2. Edit : Set first day (choose the desired first day)
3. Save the sleep file in .tim format
4. Press F12 in SuperMemo 17, and choose File : Import : SleepChart file. Point it to the previously saved .tim file.

You will then be able to input or edit sleep data occurring before the collection's actual first day.

While this isn't a problem with the installer per se, and I could point you to the fact unstable releases of Wine are discouraged (I use wine-stable on Arch for my SM use), the details of your platform present a good opportunity to continue research on compatibility (see: Compatibility tables). Winetricks managed to break, to then fix, IE compatibility for wine>4.9 since I last updated that table. Tracked in #6.

You're welcome, and I'm glad the installer serves you well. Feel free to submit questions re: SM on Linux, or suggest a better (than gh issues) support venue.

Closing the issue, but feel free to add to it if needs must.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I also confirmed this on a Windows VM over the weekend, it's a feature. So a nonissue.
Also thanks for the tip about the sleep chart!

About wine versions: I had some weird problems on the staging, but I'm not bound to it, so if you say current wine-stable works well, happy to revert back.

I think the current place works well regarding problem tracking/questions (i.e: I don't have any better idea.)

Right now Wine editions at staging and multilib are even at 5.2, which I tested to be non problematic for now, but no guarantees in the future. Wine development relies too much on active user reports to remedy its breakages, which is why I stuck with (and recommend) stable, right now only a couple point releases behind, unless you're interested in latest Wine developments for games and such.

I also have no issue with this medium. Somehow I unwatched this very repo, which is why I didn't see your issue in the beginning, but I remedied that.

I've also switched to the wine-stable AUR package and Supermemo seems to work fine for all my use-cases in the last couple days. So this will be my main platform as well. Thanks again, for the recommendation.

Thanks for the heads up. I just got time to tinker with this. Successfully applied the 17.40 patch without any issues and it works as intended. I almost got used to the "large" icons. Thank you! :)

By the way, I'm on 5.3 wine staging, since early march and have not encountered any issues with it. So, I can recommend that if someone need staging version instead of stable.

You're welcome.

But you're on Arch. Arch makes sense. Every distro packages things differently. If you know a better solution to this I'd appreciate your input (otherwise I'll just do as described for Debian, whose stable 4.x branch is fine for audio)
