Project to make SuperMemo for Windows editions runnable with Wine

supermemo-wine's Issues

making Supermemo anti-aliasing free

In windows I had disabled anti-aliasing.

Now in the wine -version of Supermemo, the GUI is also anti-aliasing free, but in the Items the texts have anti-aliasing.

How can we disable anti-aliasing in the whole Supermemo? Is there any possibility?

Please note: To see exactly how the picture looks, right click with your mouse on it, choose "save picture". Open it in nomacs. Choose menu->view->disable anti-aliasing. Click the symbol 1:1
Now you see, what I saw.

Thank you.

Bug with Toolkit -> Options -> Fonts "use question and answer fonts in HTML"

It looks like I have found a Bug in the Lutris version of SM 18.05:

When I change the font in my plain text component, then automatically SM checks the checkbox in menu -> Toolkit -> Options -> Fonts "use question and answer fonts in HTML".

This only happens, when I use the Lutris version, but not when I make the same in Windows.

How to reproduce:

1. Go to menu -> Toolkit -> Options -> Fonts
2. uncheck "use question and answer fonts in HTML"
3. Bring an Item with a plain text component into the Element window
4. right click -> text-> Font -> Edit Font
5. change the font
6. Go to menu -> Toolkit -> Options -> Fonts "use question and answer fonts in HTML"
7. Result: The checkbox "use question and answer fonts in HTML" is checked.

My expectation was, that the checkbox is still unchecked. This is the case in windows, but not in Lutris.
Strange!

Goldendict <-> Supermem

Do you use Goldendict together with Lutis-wine-Supermemo?
http://goldendict.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

If yes: Can you confirm that the scan function does not work, only Ctrl+C+C works?

If yes: I guess there is no way to change that? Is it?

Thank you.

Sound does not work

After the successful install of SM in wine with your verb I moved my old collection from windows into the SM "systems" folder.
Most of my Items use sound. When I now open such an item there is a message:

I have tried "Pulseaudio" and "Internes Audio Analog Stereo" in audio-tab in winecfg. Both does not solve the issue. But when I perform the test "test sound"-button in winecfg I can here the sound. This test is successful.
(?)

SM18: Error: "Cannot open player device"

I have tried to install SuperMemo 18 Lutris variant.
Everything went as expected, but the sound does not work:
Message: "Cannot open player devic"

How did I install SM 18?

System: Linux MX 19.4

1. started Lutris 0.5.7.1
2. searched for supermemo "search Lutis net"
3. selected SM 18
4. pressed the install button
5. provided the folder for the prefix and the path to the sm18 installer

Started sm18 with Lutris "play"

What I have tried to solve the issue:
Pressed the configure button in Lutris.
In the tab "runner options" I have added this:

Then I have tried again.
-> Same message

After I have started Winetricks from Lutris and installed "quartz".

Tried again. Still the same.

After I have change the wine version in Lutris "Runner options".
I have tried:
-Lutris-5.0
-Wine HQ (Stagging (6.5)
-System (6.5 (Stagging))

It's still the same.

I had the same issue, when I was installing SM 17 1.5 years ago.
With your help I was then successful. You have said, that you will make a Lutris install variant. I took it for granted, that in this Lutris Install the fix for "sound" is already included, because it takes another wine (Lutris wine) that contains all what is necessary to also bring the sound to work. (?)

Isn't this so?

Thank you.

HTTPS image issue with SuperMemo 18

I'm having issues getting https images to display and import properly in SuperMemo 18 and I'm a bit stumped. I do the following:

$ rm -fr /home/user/.wine/ /home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/

$ wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/w/wine/wine-5.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
$ wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/w/wine-gecko/wine-gecko-2.47.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
$ wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/w/wine-mono/wine-mono-4.9.4-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
$ sudo pacman -U wine-5.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst wine-gecko-2.47.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz wine-mono-4.9.4-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

$ env WINEARCH=win32 sh winetricks arch=32 prefix=sm18
$ cp sm18inst.exe /home/user/.cache/winetricks/supermemo18/sm18inst.exe
$ sh winetricks prefix=sm18 supermemo18.verb

No obvious errors. But now, running $ env WINEPREFIX=/home/user/.local/share/wineprefixes/sm18 wine ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/sm18/drive_c/SuperMemo/sm18.exe gives me a version of SuperMemo 18 that does not show https images in HTML components. Editing the https <img> tag to http (where available) works correctly, so it must be the issue.

I attempt the fix here to patch in a verb to winetricks to add support for TLS 1.1/1.2 to IE8. I followed these steps and attempted to mess around with enabling Mixed content and various other things in the IE8 security settings to no avail; images will not load.

Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated.

Incremental Video and PDF functionality

Hi there,

Do you have any experience setting up Incremental Video and PDF functionality with SuperMemo Wine?
I've heard its possible with help of the Emacs package org-noter for PDF and org-media-note, mpv and IPV handlers for Incremental Video.
On the Emacs side it should be straight forward but I wouldn't know what to do on the SuperMemo end.

I would love to set this up and any help would be greatly appreciated!

SM freezes when using a particular function

How to reproduce:

1. Bring an Item with html-Components into the Element Window
2. press Ctrl+Shift+p
3. press the "history" button
4. right click->delete
5. You can not confirm with "OK" now.
6. SM is friezed

However: It does not freeze, when making this:

1. Bring an Item with html-Components into the Element Window
2. press Ctrl+Shift+h
3. right click->delete
4. Confirmation works

Edit:
It happens only if "virtual desktop resolution" is checked:

However: When "virtual desktop resolution" is unchecked, then the window with the "yes" button is hidden behind another window:

SM17: HTML Component: Assigning a font does not work

Please have a look at the Gif-Animation.

Font size too small on HiDPI

I have tried changing the display using winecfg per the supermemo linux wiki page recommendation, however that does not work.
Screenshot of Problem:

Furthermore, I am unable to change the interface font size to over 14 (although I can change the other types of font sizes). Maybe this has something to do with the issue?:

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Offer containerized edition

command wine regedit C:/windows/Temp/set-tabprocgrowth.reg returned status 53. Aborting.

I get this error after running the second script.
Also - do I need to place sm18inst.exe somewhere specific?

Thanks very much!

Internet Explorer and windows managing

As for use of IE with SM - I've managed to open it with: WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/supermemo18 wine ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/supermemo18/drive_c/Program\ Files/Internet\ Explorer/iexplore.exe
I read that you can't do mass imports, or have a running instance of IE - in that case: how do you use in conjunction with SM?

With regards to windows managing - I imagine it takes some experimentation to find what windows setting (under winecfg/Graphics) works depending on the WM/DEs used - but if you have general advice, that'd be helpful - I haven't found setting that allow me to be able to switch between tags (alt+tab) in dwm that's worked yet - perhaps you know of a specific patch that can help?

Thanks again!

Screen-size problems/AHK scripts/problems with the toolbar

First of all, thanks very much for SuperMemo Wine - I've been using it for some time and its been working very well.

A few things I'd love to sort out:

• right-clicking a topic near the bottom or top of the screen will not re-adjust so that I can see all of the options but instead will disappear of the side of the screen (this means I can't use the process branch at all). Also some windows (The Element Priority window for example) opens far to the right and closer to the bottom that usual - I don't have any other screen-size related issues on my machine
• two of my older collections that I made on a previous Linux installation wont display '-' but instead displays ' ' (I made a new collection that doesn't share this problem) any ideas on how to remedy this?
• I've heard it's possible to use AHK scripts with SM Wine. Could you explain how it's possible to have them run alongside SM?
• on the toolbar there is a lot of text next to some of the icons which mean that many of the icons further to right (such as the concept registry) are not seen. The text next to Icons: ReplaceB; ToolsBtn; Command; Layout
• Is it possible to run SM directly from eshell? I run SM in Bash with: 'WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/wineprefixes/supermemo18 wine ~/.local/share/wineprefixes/supermemo18/drive_c/SuperMemo/sm18.exe'
• just to let you know (this doesn't bother me at all) when navigating through the options in the drop down menus (File, Edit etc) the theme of the options that my cursor has passed over turns to a light theme

Multi-edition installer

Interactive multi-edition installer. Single entry point to all installers.

Highlights:

• Installation of several editions with no conflicts
• Multiple installations of a given SM edition
• Automatic downloading of freely available installers (i.e. non-commercial ones)
• Permisiveness of checksum verifications with user-provided installers
• Support for applying patches
• Easy access to winecfg and regedit tools, etc. in the scope of the wine prefix

Make it possible to minimize floating SuperMemo windows (EWMH)

Normally I can press CTRL+ALT+D to minimize all open programs, so that the desktop appears.
This does not work when SM from Lutris-Wine is open. I also can not minimize SM itself.
Can you reproduce this?
