Windows 10 testing

Testing of the various functionalities of QualCoder has been performed on Windows 10. Several minor issues were identified and resolved. Functionality appears to be error free.

One quirk is with exporting reports using ODT file format (this is the default format for LibreOffice) and then opening the ODT document with Microsoft Word rather than LibreOffice. If the report contains multiple images, the images in the document when opened using Word overlap. This can be fixed  within the opened document by moving the images around. Below is an example of overlapping images in ODT format opened with Word:

User Manual

It was recommended that I make a user manual. So I have spent some time and written a QualCoder User Manual in PDF format. The manual is in English. This can be found on the github site: https://github.com/ccbogel/QualCoder

 

Case matrix report

In the coding reports a case matrix is now available. Select your codes and categories and cases as normal. The run the Search.

The output will show the codings on the left and on the right a case matrix table is shown. The matrix shows each case as a row and each top-level category (or theme) as a column. Each cell in the matrix show the coded text and images.

The code selection tree may be hidden on the left-hand side of the window, you can drag this across with the mouse. Similarly, you can drag the matrix to fill the screen.
