Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you all.
I’m using Sky 7, and I’m importing ixml files. These were exported from a cindex user. They use a “curly f” for figures (florin character). When I import the file, I end up with only the entries that are not figures. All of the entries with the curly f in the locator field are missing.
Does anyone know why this is happening? We have been doing a workaround, but it would be nice to make this work if there is something simple I’m missing.
Thanks!
Maria

They have been grouping all the figure entries, changing it to a plain f, and then sending that to me for import. Then I send it back and they have to change it back. This is going to be an ongoing project so I was hoping for a permanent fix.
You’ve given me some ideas though. If I play with the translation table I can get it to import all the records, but I’m getting [u402] instead of the florin, and also code instead of apostrophes, etc. So I can’t figure out how to use the translation table to get the florin fixed and also the other things that are now messed up. If I don’t use the translation table, I don’t have issues with the apostrophes but the florin records don’t show up.
Thanks for your thoughts, it’s helpful.

Great idea – playing with this after reading your email made me wonder the same thing. I just tried importing the 3 files I currently have into Sky 8 and they imported perfectly. No translation, no changing any settings, just a perfect import.
So I think I’ll be using Sky 8 for this particular client.
Thanks for your ideas – they got me moving in the right direction!

Thanks for your help. I had a few things that behaved strangely when I used 8 so I went back to 7. I have used it for books with tons of diacritics since being able to copy/paste those was so wonderful.
I haven’t tried it for a couple of years, so this client will make me give it another go.
It definitely supports this format. And it imports better than a regular cindex file.

That’s fascinating, I had no idea! I wonder why Kamm removed that ability? Now I feel special!
