New Features:
- Uses improved xml search list format
What's new in Scribe 1.1 [October 3, 2007]
New Features:
- Added "Up/Down" buttons to allow the reordering of keyword lists.
- Added expanded editing capabilities for conditions:
- Added "Up/Down" buttons for stimulus, response and instructions so that time-dependent features of a condition may now be more efficiently coded.
- Existing stimulus, response, and instructions can now be edited by double-clicking; the existing dialog will be populated to allow for corrections and/or changes.
- To prevent missed or skipped fields, the condition dialog will not close unless there is at least one stimulus, response and instruction selected.
- A "Save as Defaults" button in the submitter panel saves the current submitter data when the button is clicked, thus eliminating the need to retype the submitter's data for every subsequent submission.
- Added "Check for Updates" menu item to check for the latest released version.
Bug Fixes:
- Bug fixed where deleting or renaming a condition, session, or subject group would not reflect the same change in the experiment dialog.
What's New in Scribe 1.0 (Equivalent to Submit 3.1.1) [April 13, 2007]
New Features:
- Added "Show Manual...", "Show Read Me..." and "Show License..." to the Help menu. These options show the manual (in .pdf format), readme, and license files in your default web browser
- "About" menu has been updated to include more information
- Added Behavioral Domain sub-category for Emotion.Happiness.Humor
- New icon and splash screen
Installation
Requirements:
- Around 256 MB memory
- Around 160 MB disk space
Java: The Mac and Windows versions include their own copy of Java 8, so Java version conflicts and updating are no longer an issue. The compromise is that it is now about 150 MB larger. The jar version is available without embedded Java as well.
Windows: Download the zip and unzip it to get a "Scribe 3.0.10" folder which contains:
- Scribe.exe - the main Scribe program
- Scribe_debug.exe - has a console window to show error messages
- Scribe.jar - for command-line usage, but also used by both exe files
- jre - Scribe's copy of Java Version 8
Macintosh: Download the app. It's using xip, which is like a zip file, but it includes a secure signature that lets your Mac show fewer scary "Unknown Developer" warnings. If your browser doesn't automatically open the xip file, just double-click it and you should get Scribe.app. Drag Scribe.app to your Applications folder, or wherever you prefer, and start it up.
Other Systems: Get Java Version 8 or newer at Sun's official site: Java.com. Download Scribe.jar. You may be able to run Scribe by double clicking on the jar. Alternatively, use the command: java -cp your/path/to/Scribe.jar org.brainmap.Scribe
