NewDictS 0.7

Improvements? I allready wrote about them at
PALIB:

The current version is 0.7j and there are several improvements. Some of them are:
- support for up to 100 dictionaries
- german characters are now shown properly in the dics
- keyboard was enhanced to allow german character input
- dictionary index file size is no longer limited to 2,5MB
(got a wikipedia dump with an index filesize of 32 MB running experimentally on my DS)
- improvements regarding chinese character unicode support

I think thats really something. Especially the german viewing and input, the number of dicts and the limitless index size, allowing to open really large dicts are more than I was ever expecting.

For that block scrolling issue try to contact sesa he is really helpful and speaks english too.

I clicked on that link for the dictionaries, but all I saw were links to windows and linux programs of some sort.

Thanks nannys_hedgehog - you're right that that is quite a serious improvement. Thanks for the help!

Does it support any language?

I am probably missing something really obvious but I can't seem to get this to work. I have it patched correctly and I understand all th efiles I need but every time I load it and try to choose a dictionary i get an error message in chinese and it freezes. Does anyone know a solution to this?

Which version are you using?
What is the content of the newdicts folder and the subfolders?
Which flashcard are you using?
I'm running it on R4. It doesn't make any problem. I've got a german wikipedia dump of 1,6GB! dictionary size runnig with it almost flawlessly.
Ps: Version 0.7k is out with several imrovements, I'll write about it soon (dodgybarnet - it has a nice scrolling feature now).

I'm using 0.7j on a supercard. I have most of the dictionaries working fine now, there was a problem with the file names that i was missing. I have a couple of questions though, I noticed on things like the britanica concise that after a little bit the entries get scrambled, is that a problem with the dictionary file or the program itself? Also, is there anyway to change what the titles of the dictionaries show up as in the program itself?

Just change the BOOKNAME in the .ifo file - the long names are not really comfortable:cool: .
I couldn't find any problems with that brittanica file. Try to describe the steps leading to this error and I will see if I can reproduce it.

All files are source code? So how do I compile it and all that crap?

No docs aside of those posted with this news. THe page with the dictionary things we need to download seem to have no working links.

You know it took me some effort to write the doc at PALIB.

Read it carefully and you'll find most solutions to your questions. The .nds file is at the bottom of my first post at palib:
NewDictS07j.zip Size: 974.49 KB
You need:
idxToaoi.rar
to build the aoi of the dic-index too.
No need to compile anything. The dics are at the stardict page just search and you will find. In case you did it desperately and didn't find something: here is a direct link to hundreds of them:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=80679
Make sure to unpack them properly. You can rename them too but all 4 files you need for one dic have to have the same name f.i.:
dic1.idx
dic1.dict
dic1.ifo
dic1.aoi
