This is not a complaint as I'm trying to make it work in a way not intended but I would probably use it more if it could be launched in this way.

I do like the American/British English dictionary supplied - I prefer British English but a lot of the books I work on have been Americanised.

It probably passes the epub path as a first argument in the command line, I'll add that. I'll also check for the dictionary.txt by looking at the exe path rather than the working directory. It's highly likely the working directory would be the Calibre exe folder if it's started from inside calibre.

You can swap out the dictionary.txt in the program folder with a british version if you want. I've combined a few dictionaries I found online until I had a reasonable database. The txt file is a simple word on each line text file.
