| Bug ID | Platforms | Description | Solution | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.1.0.0 CGN R3 |
all platforms | The "OR" function in the search panel does not work correctly. | will be solved in next major release. Has been postponed. | |
| 0.1.0.1 CGN R3 |
all platforms | In the "search" hitlist, some hits are not shown in context. Double clicking will still pop up the transcription window !!! this script had to be updated again on 10 sept 2001, so please download again !!! | Wrong version of the Perl search script. Get the new version from this website. cgn-search.pl and place it in the COREX installation directory. | Solved |
| 0.1.0.2 CGN R3 |
Solaris Sparc platform | The audio player loses synchronicity and the sound appears as if many sources are played at the same tim | This happens sporadically and is a known problem of JMF for Solaris (when playing video). It is considered a minor nuisance. Destroying the transcription window and creating it anew will restore the original situation | It is expected that future versions of JMF will solve this problem.
CGNR4 (COREX3) seems not to suffer this problem |
| 0.1.0.3 CGN R3 |
Solaris Sparc platform | Choosing a different font will result in unreadable text | upgrade | Under investigation. Solved in CGNR4 (COREX4) |
| 0.2.0.0 CGN R4 |
Solaris Sparc platform (other UX's?) Windows 98 | Installation results in error messages: "Permission denied"... | Ignore. The program installs correctly. | Will be solved next release |
| 0.2.0.1 CGN R4 |
UNIX platforms | link to Praat does not work | The wish executable is for the wrong binary platform. For Solaris install this wish executable over the old one. | Solved for Solaris. Eventually there will be a communication mechanism between COREX and Praat independent from wish. |
| 0.2.0.2 | UNIX platforms | Helper programme signal does not work | Only available for Wintel | signal will be replaced by other in due time |
| 0.2.0.3 | Wintel platform | signal helper program requires creation of C:\TMP directory | signal will be replaced by other in due time | |
| 0.2.03 | Windows 98 | Install script refuses to copy files and gives an "Illegal instruction" error | Use this special install script "install.bat". Edit the CD drive name at the top of the script | Unknown why the original script fails |
| 0.2.04 | Windows * | Audio output stutters on some (slow) machines. | Install native JMF (Java Media FrameWork) this can be fetched at SUN or here: jmf-2_1-win.exe | JMF should maybe be part of the standard COREX installation |
| 0.3.01 CGNR6 COREX5 |
All platforms | Waveform view shows garbage | The files are in the Alaw format that the waveform viewer cannot handle | Next COREX version will repair this |
| 0.3.02 CGNR6 COREX5 |
All platforms | Content search does not work for combined search of two tokens on same tier | The cgn-search.pl script contains a bug. | Download the new version cgn-search.pl and install it in the COREX5 directory |
| 0.3.03 CGNR* COREX* Praat |
Windows | Praat editors can not be started up from Corex | The sendpraat.exe programme that is distributed with Corex does not work anymore with the latest Praat releases. For the moment no new sendpraat.exe is available. | Download an old Praat version praat.exe and use that. |
| 0.3.04 CGNR6 COREX5 |
All platforms | Sometimes search on subcorpora in basket does not work | If the corpora files in the COREX5/Corpora/metadata/xml directory are compressed, sometimes content search on subcorpora in the basket will not work. | Decompress the .xml files in COREX5/Corpora/metadata/xml. For windows
there is the gzip.exe programme is in the COREX5 directory that can do
this. Open a console and to the COREX5 installation directory. Do: gzip -d Corpora\metadata\xml\*.gz On Unix MacOSX "gzip" is usually already available. |
| 0.3.05 CGNR* COREX* |
Linux & MacOSX platforms | COREX is not able to find some audio files. | We noticed that many of the audio CDs contain the files with uppercase names while the majority is in lowercase. This causes COREX to not be able to find the audio files on systems were the uppercase/lowercase difference is meaningfull such as Linux & MacOSX. On Solaris there is no problem, CDs are mounted as hsfs with automatic lowercase mapping. | We are working on a solution. |
| 0.3.06 CGNR6 COREX5 |
Windows | When storing all audio files on a central server, COREX is not able to access these files from a windows client machine if you use SMB paths in the startup script. | COREX is not able to handle SMB paths. Acessing NFS mounted files is no problem. | Mount the share with audio files on a device letter. |
| 0.3.07 CGNR6 COREX5 |
All platforms | The text types subcorpus hierarchy in the browser contains double session entries. In the metadata the age for some speakers (birth year in place of age) is wrong. | An error in the metdata corpus and session files. | Download mdupdate.tar.gz and put it in directory COREX5/Corpora/metadata. Unzip & untar |
| 0.3.08 CGNR6 COREX5 |
Windows | Sometimes metadata search gives not a single hit while there are definitely sessions in the corpus that comply with the query | Unknown cause | Perform an action with the browser for instance opening the top corpus node. This will put metadata search in a state where it functions normally. |

All platforms | A very limited number of annotation units can not be displayed after being found by TigerSearch. These are: fn000155.44, fn000175.6, fn000600.138 | The cause seems to be something inside the TigerSearch software. We will submit a bugreport concerning this. | Unsolved |
| 0.4.02 CGN 1.0 COREX6 |
All platforms | Playing a short segment of audio sometimes overshoots the end of the selection. | This is a general problem of JMF, the java library used to handle media. | We will provide an update if it becomes available. |
