Artha Description
A handy thesaurus based on WordNet Artha is a handy cross-platform thesaurus based on WordNet with distinct features like hot key pop-up, notification, dual modes, etc. It may be used as a free, open-source replacement/clone for WordWeb on UNIX-like operating systems.The main focus of Artha is high usuability, with much simplicity. It has distinct features like hot key combo, notifications, etc. Once the application is launched, it sits in the system tray. The user can select text on any window, and call Artha by pressing the set hot key combination, which pops up Artha with the word looked-up. If the user wants notifications, rather than the app. popping up, it can be done by enabling notifications, which results in a (balloon tip) notification of the selected word's prime definition from WordNet, from the system tray, when the hot hey is pressed.Technically, Artha is written in pure C using the GTK+ widget kit & Glib, making it cross-desktop and cross-platform. It uses libnotify for notifications. It may be used as a advanced replacement for WordWeb in GNU/Linux environments. Currently different flavours of GNU/Linux are targeted, but porting to other UNIX-like systems, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows will commence soon. Requirements: · WordNet What's New in This Release: · Regex based search feature is now implemented. Accepted pattern will be based on Wildmat syntax I.e. wildcard (*), joker (?), ranges ( {2, }), + can be used primarily. · Double clicking on the definition textview, will now check for compound words surrounding the actual selection, and if a valid match is found, will jump to that for a look up rather than on the actual selection. · Null checks added to regex search variables/modules. · Crash fixed in case of a missing sense.index file; an error is now thrown. · Statusbar will now be updated for index load, normal lookups and regex searches. · Incorrect decl. of the results count variable fixed; earlier it was showing only the data type's upper limit as the maximum. · Redundant action button 'Detailed Lookup' in notification removed; status icon can be used to bring up the application. · Loading message set on status bar when indexing. · Startup Notification to the Desktop manager fixed. · Configure.ac and Makefile.am modified to suit building WordNet from source.
