Hello,

I recently installed some custom dictionaries. First of all thanks to everybody involved in making it possible to do that.

Now I got two questions (sorry if these questions are answered already and I missed them):

Is there a way to prevent the firmware on overwriting the dictionaries upon syncing? At least that's the behaviour I encountered. Whenever the Kobo syncs, the custom dictionaries get replaced with the stock ones. Usually in a situation like this I'd go with a chattr or chflags command and set the files flag to immutable. Now I guess it won't be that easy on the Kobo. Anyone got a workaround for this problem?

Some dictionaries offer to edit the search term (i.e. the marked word/phrase), by taping the arrow in the upper left corner. Some don't allow this. Now obviously when I install custom dictionaries, I'd like to replace only "editable" ones. Or is there a way to change that behaviour, f.e. by editing the mysql database file?
