If you can give an example, I'll take a look at it.

Example (from txt files which I use to import cards):
凯文 Kai3wen2 Kevin (person name)

(I added spaces only to visually render the 3 fields)
The second field is the reading field, the one that when has capital letters is rendered with "tone5" syllables:
Kǎiwén

changing PINYIN_INITIALS to 'zh|Zh|sh|Sh|ch|Ch|chu|Chu|[bpmfdtnlgkhjqxrzscwyBPMFDTNLGKHJQXRZSCWY]' should fix this

What do you mean?
Changing one by one all initials? That is what I have already been doing, but of course is time consuming
Or maybe what you've written is some sort of code that will do it automatically? (in the latter case I don't know how to implement it)

Answer 5 · 2021-10-09T15:08:46.000Z

@rudyeikichi if you need to fix it quickly, edit the file consts.py in the add-on folder and replace the line

PINYIN_INITIALS = 'zh|sh|ch|chu|[bpmfdtnlgkhjqxrzscwy]'

with

PINYIN_INITIALS = 'zh|Zh|sh|Sh|ch|Ch|chu|Chu|[bpmfdtnlgkhjqxrzscwyBPMFDTNLGKHJQXRZSCWY]'

Thank you! I didn't know this coding trick! Now it works perfectly! thank you very much

@rudyeikichi can you keep issue open because it is still an issue with the add-on? Looks like @luoliyan may be inactive and it is time for fork-of-a-fork (I am happy to maintain)

Answer 8 · 2021-10-10T18:03:17.000Z

Ok. Keep open. Anyway it still doesn't work with all letters. I input some words that start with the hanzi of Australia and it gave me A with tone 5, and "o" with the correct tone. I added the letter A to the list of initials in that file but still not working. Anyway not big problem, if I have to change just the words starting with a capital A, it's still much better than change all capital letters by hand. If I see other letters that don't work properly I'll write them down here. Anyway for I'm really happy with this correction of the initials.
