[Scim-user] User frequency table in 0.9.0

[Zhang Linbo]

Hi,

I was using the generic table input method of SCIM 0.8.2
and I'm trying to migrate to version 0.9.0. I have a few
questions and hope to get some hints about them.

It seems that handling of user frequency tables has been
changed in 0.9.0. In 0.8.2, the user frequency table was
saved in ~/.scim/tables/frequency/XXXX.bin.freq and
automatically updated. I tried to convert the frequency
table to the format used in 0.9.0, and copied it to
~/.scim/user-tables/XXXX.bin.freq, it seemed to
be loaded by SCIM but had no effect. If I put it
under the name ~/.scim/sys-tables/XXXX.bin.freq, it is
loaded and effective, but after exiting from SCIM, the
table is overwritten and only phrases referenced during
the session remain in it.

So my questions are:

1. What's the logic of the use of different frequency tables?

2. If I wish to keep a frequency table, and share (copy) it among
different computers, which one should I use?

Any information is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

LB
