Hi,

your package in Extras-testing is unlocked for promotion. Do you consider promoting it?

I tried using the setting icon it doesn't work for me

Well, I am so sorry that I did not make it finally....

I tried almost all methods you guys mentioned in the past 4~5 hours. But I never made it. I even could not select dictionaries somehow since I never saw the "plus" in the config to select the dics.

Fortunatelly, I switched to MStarDict. With all the knowledge I got from QStarDict, I only spent like 10 mins to setup MStarDict with "speak" func.......

P.S. I AM a software developer. I used C, C++, .net & Java before. But I only did everything on Windows. That's why I could not make it???

Anyway, I must have missed something. There is only one thing left to me: to debug it line by line to see what's going on...........

But if any ppl like me, maybe, you should consider to give it up if you can not make it in the first 1 hour.

Do I look like a MStarDict developper??? !@#$%^&&*()

anyway, I dislike the QuestionableStarDict!!!!! It wasted me too much time!!!!!

Seriously, it only takes a couple of minutes to setup, so if you've spent more than 5 minutes without success then give up - don't waste another 55 minutes on it

Who knows

I like qstardict's interface a lot more than mstardict's, everything is on one screen. Plus it has more features, plus you can double-click on a word in the definition and copy+paste into lookup to continue your lookup.

There must be some bug or incompatibility with certain dictionaries. I also have for several hours unsuccessfully tried to make Qstardict see any of the dictonaries i downloaded from XDXF Repository. and i followed the wiki and the tips here to the letter. Very frustrating....

I got it working now mostly.
except that links dont work.
it opens opera mobile with bword://<word>
how do i fix that?

For me, references don't work at all. Nothing reacts. I don't have opera installed.

The setting icon works only when the plugin is checked, turned on, otherwise it is ignored. Does it help you?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two suggestions.

First, when nothing is typed, show unfiltered words list instead of useless "Words list".

Second, add a good way to scroll through long list (at least, stylus friendly, but maybe, finger friendly), so that a word could be scrolled to without typing anything.

Like six buttons nearby the list:
___
| |fast up
|___|
|__|medium speed up
|_|precise up
_
|_|precise down
|__|medium speed down
| |
|___|fast down
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
I frequently see formatting problems in articles. Like:

color="blue">n.

beginning of the line too far on the left and cannot be seen

article not displayed at all, though the word is in the list; just blank article viewer; as if it tried to open the article and couldn't;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

In terminal, the following error is frequently printed (overwhelming the terminal):
QFSFileEngine:: open: No file name specified

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

If possible, make the program less resource hungry. It heats the device somewhat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Thanks for making the program.

After upgrading to PR1.3 pressing Settings "wrench" in Plugins tabs does not respond and I can not set path to dictionaries. Can it be general problem with introduction of QT4.7 or it is just my device?

Same here

Hope somebody will fix it again - it already broke on the last upgrade! FBergeron?

On a positive note: mstardict didn't break, and it's problem with pulseaudio appears to be fixed in PR1.3, and since mstardict can read the dictionaries installed for qstardict, we are not completely without dictionaries now.

Qstardict is not working on PR1.3 here
