I've tried to put the image directory in the same directory as the dictionaries but that doesn't help. Thanks in advance for any help solving this.

I find it curious that no one noticed except you and me. I agree it is quite annoying, but to MStarDict's defense I must say that I have looked into this and found that the problem is with the dictionary itself. The main .dict file contains IMG tags referring to the bitmaps with spurious non-printable characters in the file names. Example, <IMG src="_7e3d5890.bmp_">, where _ stands for non-printable chars 0x1E and 0x1F.

I have managed to remove the chars in a hex editor but then the index file did not match and MStarDict crashed on loading the dictionary, so I reverted it back to the original. If anyone could tell me how to fix the index that would be greatly appreciated.

Quick reply...
Is there any offline open source dictionary application which has following features?

Switch between languages: from A to B, from B to A, from A to C, et cetera... So that instead of having all dictionaries showing the translation, only the small group of them, needed at this time, would be active.
Create a dictionary, create an article in a dictionary, edit an article in a dictionary... [EDIT]Compiling package 'stardict-tools' on Maemo would have been useful for that goal, though seamless integration of this feature within existing dictionary viewer would require additional effort.[/EDIT]

Best wishes.

Repair your dictionary. And automated way of doing this would be greatly appreciated. I have dictionaries - encyclopaedias in dict format - with not-displayed pictures.
Best wishes.
