First of all, thanks VERY much to btb for starting this entire xword project and for coming up with some excellent modifcations!

So you mean like when you use the File Manager to browse a directory and "open" a .puz file? I think that has something to do with associating an extension with a MIME type, but the documentation leaves some important details out (like how to read the new .xml specification file, or even where to put it).

That sounds pretty nice, but a bit out of my hacking ability for right now.

Here are two things I've added for the next release:
  • Since there was space in the new keyboard layout, I added two new buttons for "check word" and "solve word".
  • For those of us with old eyes, I added a new Preferences option to set the minimum box size between 12 and 40. (In v.1.0.4, it was hardcoded to 20.)
