Fork of brailleapps/dotify-studio, which is no longer maintained.
New in 1.0.3
- Fixed: only English could be selected. The packaged application shipped a Java runtime without locale data, so the language list held nothing but English. Swedish text was then translated with English braille rules, which produced wrong braille on Windows and failed outright on Apple silicon, where the liblouis library is only available for Intel. The language list is complete again. Set the language under Preferences, General, Language/region.
From 1.0.2
- Emboss to an embosser on the network, without a print queue: pick Add an embosser on the network... at the end of the device list in the embosser settings and enter its address. Needed on macOS, which no longer supports raw print queues, and useful on Windows as it avoids depending on a shared printer.
- Fixed a save bug where the change watcher could wrongly report that a file had been changed by another application.
From 1.0.1
- 28 rows and no cover page by default, both still changeable per document.
- Fixed: a typed number of copies was ignored unless Enter was pressed.
- A pause between copies showing how many remain; Enter embosses the next copy, Escape cancels the rest.
- Builds and runs on Java 17 or later with OpenJFX, instead of Java 8.
