 this app gets better and better.
1) I would recommend instead of using 'ita.txt' as the default dictionary. could you maybe use a generic name like 'defdict.txt'
2) Is there a 'clear' button so we don't have to hit backspace to remove the text.
3) On the <Next/Prev> the text description is updated but the word that is being defined is not updated. |
These are all good suggestions, but there still has to be a more efficient way to search large files. Can we get Kovid in here to tell us how to jump to a point in a file? If we're searching through a dictionary where all it can progressively look for longer and longer letter combinations and have a "smart" jump around it shouldn't have to read more than 40-50 lines to find any word I would think. It just needs to be able to hone in on the spot (and it should also have a way of ignoring junk lines that are out of place and don't fit in with the lines around it). If there's a way to jump to a line within a text file, I could describe a simple search algorithm for alphabetical lists and you could program it without too much trouble I would hope.
