Just to let you know that this should now be resolved for the next release, coming up in the next few weeks.

You can work separately, but not simultaneously on the same file. Changes one person makes wouldn't be viewable by the others, and I expect it would risk the project getting corrupted. Weft QDA 2 has some experimental code that allows guests to connect to and collaborate on a project on a different computer, but it isn't enabled yet. There's a few implications to think through, in particular data security. alex From blk20 at cam.ac.uk Mon Sep 8 14:22:59 2008 From: blk20 at cam.ac.uk (Bernhard Krieger) Date: Mon, 08 Sep 2008 19:22:59 +0100 Subject: [Weft QDA users] how to display the text from all sub-categories Message-ID: <48C56D83.1070409@cam.ac.uk> Dear all, I am new to weft-qda. I would like to know how to display the text of a whole category when I coded directly into sub-categories. E.g. the category is 'Europe' and includes all EU member states as sub-categories. I coded passages of my interviews into the respective country sub-categories, but would like to display all text of the whole category 'Europe'. However when I double click it (or highlight and then click on view) a windows opens with now text passages in them. Dou I hve to code text passages on all hierarchical levels?

There's no single way to do this in the current version of Weft. You could open each of the sub-categories in turn, use CTRL-A to select all text, then mark (CTRL-M) all that text with the parent category. Or you could use a query, something like IS CODED BY 'France' OR IS CODED BY 'Netherlands' OR IS CODED BY 'Lithuania' ... Neither of these is ideal but both should work. Incidentally, after user feedback this is addressed in Weft QDA 2: you can do a 'CODED BENEATH' query to collect all marking of subcategories, and queries are also saved and updated to reflect changes. But I wouldn't recommend Weft QDA 2 for real use just yet. cheers alex From blk20 at cam.ac.uk Tue Sep 9 07:04:52 2008 From: blk20 at cam.ac.uk (Bernhard Krieger) Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:04:52 +0100 Subject: [Weft QDA users] how to display the text from all sub-categories In-Reply-To: <48C642FE.2080101@pressure.to> References: <48C56D83.1070409@cam.ac.uk> <48C642FE.2080101@pressure.to> Message-ID: <48C65854.2060802@cam.ac.uk> Hi Alex, Alex Fenton wrote: > There's no single way to do this in the current version of Weft.

I think I will wait until I have coded all interviews first. > Incidentally, after user feedback this is addressed in Weft QDA 2: you > can do a 'CODED BENEATH' query to collect all marking of subcategories, > and queries are also saved and updated to reflect changes. But I > wouldn't recommend Weft QDA 2 for real use just yet. Just tried out the new version on the project site and it was not too stable yet. Much looking forward to seeing it work though. I also checked the feature request page and wondered if it would be too late to ask for a context menu option for coding, i.e. highlight text, then click right mouse button, there access coding tree and select the appropriate sub/category. I think that would save the user a lot of clicking. Not sure though how much work that would be... Really like the program. Thanks for all the good ruby work.

Should have a new version shortly which should be more stable and includes a lot of new features like media documents, undo/redo etc > I also checked the feature request page and wondered if it would be > too late to ask for a context menu option for coding, i.e. highlight > text, then click right mouse button, there access coding tree and > select the appropriate sub/category. I think that would save the user > a lot of clicking. Not sure though how much work that would be... No, it's definitely not too late to request features. It wasn't possible to add context menus in Weft 1, but it's now pretty easy, and many of the common elements (eg the category control, document list) now sport them. I'd have to give some thought to the UI for navigating through the tree in a context menu, but it sounds like a good idea. > Really like the program. Thanks for all the good ruby work.

I have far too many sub/categories, so always have to click between windows. I am curious about the new version. If you want I could do some testing with the data I am working on at the moment. -b From dhca at securenym.net Tue Sep 9 19:48:15 2008 From: dhca at securenym.net (Daniel) Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2008 06:48:15 +0700 Subject: [Weft QDA users] PLEASE REMOVE FROM THIS LIST References: <48C56D83.1070409@cam.ac.uk> <48C642FE.2080101@pressure.to> <48C65854.2060802@cam.ac.uk> Message-ID: <200809100310.m8A3AT605288@anon.securenym.net> PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM THIS LIST. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernhard Krieger" To: "Discussion and help for users of Weft QDA" Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 6:04 PM Subject: Re: [Weft QDA users] how to display the text from all sub-categories > Hi Alex, > > Alex Fenton wrote: > >> There's no single way to do this in the current version of Weft.
