Re: QStarDict
 

I would be glad if someone would help editing the instruction. You can modify the instruction on wiki.

I know how hard it is to install dictionaries. Even if I add bzip2 as a dependency using terminal to extract dictionaries is not user friendly. For now the easiest way is to extract dictionaries on computer.
I am thinking that may be porting a GUI archive manager is a good idea.

Re: QStarDict
 

How can I change the UI to make text area bigger and the word list a little narrower like the one in the screenshot of the package in Extras coz mine looks awful like below. Thanks

Re: QStarDict
 

Can anyone confirm if this is working with the leaked PR1.2?Mine doesn`t

Thanks

Re: QStarDict
 

qstardict does not work with PR1.2
but mstardict working

Re: QStarDict
 

Hello I cannot add cllick on the Wrench to add new dict for Qstardict anymore after updtae to pr1.2

Re: QStarDict
 

Neither works for me... I used it everyday :(

Re: QStarDict
 

i can confirm it is not working under PR.1.2 :(

Re: QStarDict
 

Yes, it is not working under PR.1.2, but MStarDict working good :)

Re: QStarDict
 

What about using Debian or Ubuntu packages?

Re: QStarDict
 

with pr1.2 i can set dictionary. The "settings" icon under plugins tab while doing configuration doesn't do anything neither does any of the "info" icons.

Re: QStarDict
 

mine is also not working

Re: QStarDict
 

i'm switching to MStarDict while QStarDict gets fixed...

Re: QStarDict
 

Mine is also not working after 1.2

Re: QStarDict
 

Where can I get MStarDict as its not available in AppManager - I dont have extras-dev or extras-testing reps enabled.

Is it on one of those?

Re: QStarDict
 

@sting04: yes. but be careful to enable extras/devel, you can have problems (eg.: few rootfs free ram because not optified sw, system crashs,and so on..). I had to disabled its. Personally I prefer waiting for official, stable repository.
;)

ps; mine doesn't works too of course!! ;) :(

Re: QStarDict
 

Just installed Qstardict (after P1.2 update). The configuration menu does not seem to work as it was mentioned before. Running from the terminal, and trying to turn on the "stardict" plugin brings the following message:

"The plugin '/opt/maemo/usr/lib/qstardict/plugins/libstardict.so' uses incompatible Qt library. Expected build key "armv6 linux host-g++ full-config", got "arm linux g++-4 full-config"

Similar message for "web" plugin. I am not a developer but my guess is that the problem is in the different library for Qt 4.6 after PR1.2 update.

Re: QStarDict
 

I tried to look at this problem for "fun". It seems to work fine in the emulator (scratchbox). I'm able to add and use a dictionnary normally.

Too bad I have no N900 at my disposals, I cannot make any further tests. Kiramela is probably right. The issue is likely related to Qt and not QStardict itself. Maybe it will fix itself in PR1.3...

Re: QStarDict
 

It might be a good idea to resubmit the package to the autobuilder, just so it recompiles with the proper headers.

Re: QStarDict
 

I have resubmitted the package in extras-devel. It's named qstardict_0.13.2-3fb. Anyone can report if it works better or not.

On this page:

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ct/0.13.2-3fb/

Even though the size is 0 kb and no dependencies are listed, the application starts apparently.

Re: QStarDict
 

I just updated it today and it started working again!! One of my favorite applications! Thanks for fixing it. Great!!

Re: QStarDict
 

Really!? Wow, that's a very good news. I'm very surprised that it worked. If a few additional people can confirm that it works fine, I will submit the package to be promoted into extras repo.

Re: QStarDict
 

the wonderful app is back.. qstardict is working great now.. just need to readjust the menus.. thank u

Re: QStarDict
 

Works fine again, thanks :D

Re: QStarDict
 

Qt4.5 and 4.6 were not binary compatible so it’s not that surprising that apps linked to one can fail in mysterious ways when run with the other (even if you used no specific 4.6 functionality).

Re: QStarDict
 

Works also for me! Thanks a lot!

Re: QStarDict
 

Switched to mstardict when this wasn't working. Are they effectively the same thing but with different look? Seem to function quite similar to me.

Re: QStarDict
 

Yes indeed. I understand and it makes perfect sense.

You deserve some credit because I would never have dared to resubmit the package without your comment.

Re: QStarDict
 

Just reinstalled. Looks pretty good. Still seeing the code for some of the text tags, e.g., color="blue">n.

Re: QStarDict
 

Not for me - everything works perfectly here. I think this should go into extras-testing as quickly as possible so that it can soon replace the stone-dead version in extras.

Re: QStarDict
 

I imagine it depends on the dictionaries installed.

Here are two samples of the ongoing text tag issues:

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_587Wk-3x3vI/S7...ue%201.png.jpg

There are many more, some relating to pronunciations.

Re: QStarDict
 

I have several dictionaries, but none showing any problem. Even pronounciations are displayed correctly, and I think it was not the case before! I also have Merriam-Webster's Collegiate without your glitches, but the name of my MW-Collegiate does not have an (R) attached to it, so it's apparently from a different source.

However, also the appearance of qstardict has changed for me. It did look like yours before, but now it looks like this: (and I now can also resize the window by dragging the little comb on the left of it, which is also new!)

Re: QStarDict
 

Those jpgs are from the PR 1.1 version, but I still see the same glitches in PR 1.2. I wonder if there is a bug in the source dictionaries I am using. What source (link?) are you using? Thanks.

Re: QStarDict
 

I cannot promote the application to Extras-Testing myself. I have sent an email to the maintainer to do so.

Edit: Good news! Alexander has promoted the package.

Re: QStarDict
 

I will ask you the same question. Where did you get your dictionaries? Could you give me the link of one of them that have the problem. I don't promise anything but I may take a look and try to fix it when I have some time.

Re: QStarDict
 

The sources are:

http://reciteword.sourceforge.net/stardict/babylon.php
http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down/

The MWC dictionaries show the worst text glitches on my device, e.g., http://downloads.sourceforge.net/xdx...03_mwc.tar.bz2

It would be helpful to post a link to the MWC you are using that is glitch-free.

Thanks.

Re: QStarDict
 

I have installed from

http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down2/inde...ormat=StarDict

My MWC version is stardict-mwc-2.4.2, must be from stardict-comn_dls03_mwc-2.4.2.tar.bz2.
