Code:
_CFBundleURLSchemes^cc.dict.dictccˇ(Wdict-ccS6.0¤+,-._
Maybe someone here can reconstruct this?
[That's an inverted exclamation sign following the "dictcc".] When I tried
Code:
cc.dict.dictcc://{define}
inside Marvin, I only got the usual error pop-up message saying the app is not installed or the URL is incorrect.
If we found the URL scheme, the display of dict.cc definitions should work. The dict.cc app is so smart as to include a switch, in its settings, to "activate the clipboard" and automatically launch the search with whatever is in the clipboard. So, the dict.cc app is "well-behaved" and willing to cooperate, similarly to Lingvo or the Larousse app, and unlike the Merriam-Webster or the Google Translate apps, for which it does not even help to know their URL launch scheme, because they refuse to "accept" the search string sent to them from Marvin.
