make sure all the dictionaries are listed and have a V (meaning they are active)

That's it

let me know if it's not clear.

After several hours of work, I finally managed to copy the files into directory /home/user/MyDocs/stardict/dic

Then I start QStarDict, go to configure -> Plugins, select stardict and click on the wrench tool. List of directories is shown. I click +.
Now I can navigate in some sort of directory sturcture, but it seems to be different from what I see with X Terminal.
Anyway, I found a directory stardict/dic and go there. But it says "No files/folders". I wonder if this is the directory I created?
When I click on the directory name, it is added to the list in stardict plugin settings as /home/user/MyDocs/stardict/dic. And it appears it was already there, so now it is listed twice.
Then I go to Dictionaries tab. And there are no dictionaries listed.

What is the problem?
How can I get QStarDict to recognize the dictionaries?
Why is the directory structure seen in QStarDict different from the directory structure seen in X Terminal?
Had I moved the files in /home/user/.stardict/dic as suggested in some instructions, how could I navigate there since such directories are not seen in QStarDict?
