Re: [basex-talk] Dpi scaling problem - Ubuntu 20.04

[Christian Grün]

Hi Silamphre,

DPI scaling might be improved with a future version of Java (we only have
limited means of improving rendering with Swing). With version of the JDK
are you currently using / have you tried different versions?

Best,
Christian

 Hello everyone,

 I started using BaseX for a class project a few days ago. I'd like to
 run it on my Ubuntu 20.04. I've installed openjdk version 14 to do so.

 I've set my Ubuntu display settings at 125% fractional scaling, but it
 appears that BaseX does not scale with this setting. The GUI consequently
 appears really tiny, almost unusable.

 Does someone have a way to solve this issue, and make BaseX scales
 accordingly to my Ubuntu display settings, please?

 Thank you for your help.

 Kind regards,
 Hugo

Re: [basex-talk] recursively used variables

[Christian Grün]

Hi Rob, sorry, I’ve just discovered your mail in the basex-talk archive. I
believe that the given query should not raise an error as the variable does
only reference your function. Let’s see what we can do. – Best, Christian

Re: [basex-talk] stemming chinese texts

[Christian Grün]

Hi Duncan,

Thanks for offering your help, that’s appreciated.

We could add Lucene’s CJK analyzers in BaseX, and either embed it or
provide it as library, similar to the Japanese tokenizer. Have you
already used the Lucene analyzers [1], and if so, which of the 3
provided analyzers would you recommend?

Or have you even realized full-text search with BaseX and Chinese texts?

Cheers,
Christian

Re: [basex-talk] Packaging BaseX for the Chocolatey Package Manager

Hi Sacha,

Thanks for packaging BaseX. Will the software be available on
https://chocolatey.org/ in the future?

Best,
