Update: Progress log, reread, series

Jiten Announcements
1

The little flag just got more powerful. While a media is in progress, you can now easily mark the subdecks (volumes/episodes/etc) as read with the little + button in Log Progress. You can also set a precise char count or % of a deck you’re through, or even go over 100% if you find that Jiten’s length is too short of you’ve reread some passages. You can also start a reread through the Reading History, and this will show up in your total count in the profile!

The features will try to do their best to fill your start and end date depending on the actions you do, but you can change them at any moment in the history. This will show you how many characters you read per day if you have the start and end set, as well as the coverage you had on the media when you finished.

Lastly, you can backfill these dates from a new tab in the media list import from VNDB and AniList.

The “paused” status has also been added.

Franchise view

The franchise view has been revamped with some display options, a brand new series view, a series being a part of a franchise. Series are mostly manual right now so a lot of them will be missing inside franchises, don’t hesitate to suggest them. From this new series view, you can select a series, filter by media type, and you study a whole series or franchise as if it was a single deck, combining all their words.

Noticing a small bug in the franchise view for 北へ. The text for different entries doesn’t seem to appear when the Title Language setting is set to English. Not sure how many series this may be affecting. It seems to be missing in Timeline, Series, Web, and the Exclude titles option in Vocabulary.

Edit: Should update specific bugs still be posted here?

Thanks for the report, I’ll fix it soon. It’s fine to report small bugs in the update thread, otherwise if it’s something bigger or not related to the update then the bug category is better.
Also this thread is not meant to be posted in, it’s auto created by Discourse for each category, I’m surprised it’s not set as locked by default :laughing:

It seems that there are many franchises that were broken off in this new update. Here are some examples:

Mother/Earthbound: [1], [2], [3]
all (non-VN) games

Serial Experiments Lain: [1], [2]
an anime & game that used to be under the “same setting” relation

Yosuga No Sora: [1]-[2], [3]
the manga is disconected from the VNs
(note: the anime adaptation isn’t in the jiten database yet)

Good catch, there’s a regression because media in the same settings are no longer shown. I’ll show them again.
For mother/earthbound they were never linked together as far as I can tell so I did it, for Yosuga no Sora I’m not sure but I think there weren’t linked either before.
I still have a lot of franchise/series to process manually, most of them being on platforms like tmdb, igdb or bookmeter where there’s no proper relationships

Okay, then I will try searching for ones missing or mislabeled & then make a thread for them until there’s an easier way of mass reporting them.

Also, would it be possible to make the franchise decks to have a cover -let’s say, the earliest counted work in it- instead of all of them just sharing the same icon? They could have said icon in a corner of theirs or somewhere to still be able to tell them apart from the single media ones.

Edit: here it is
