You're entitled to ask geek1011 for new patches and geek1011 is entitled to provide them if he can and if he wants to. All I was trying to do is to point out what can already be done.

Referring back to my earlier screenshot, 3rd dictionary in the list - I was able to change the list label from 'English - English' to 'English - English OED_Ed3' by manually editing the Name field in the Dictionary table, as detailed in surquizu's step 5.

As always, the best way to find out what can be done is to try it


Way simpler when you put it this way. I got spooked by the sheer ammount of text in that post , and never made it to step 5 .
After making the changes with SQLite Expert Professional, are they commited automatically or you need to press some button, as i dont see the familiar to me "save" symbol in the UI?

Edit:
Ok , so i managed to make the changes on device. I edited 4 dictionaries(en, en-de, en-fr and fr-en) in the grid under "name" and the chages did take and were displayed in the dropdown menu on the ereader.Did a restart just in case.
But with the changed names i can access only one dictionary, when trying to switch nothing happens.
