The other solution seems simpler. So can you please point me to an explanation of how I can "mark the dicthtml-*.zip file read-only" ? do I need specific software to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Rojofo.
Yes, you would need the patch too, unless you're just replacing a built-in dictionary.

To install it on macOS, just download the Darwin binary, chmod +x it in a terminal, and then run it with ./whatever. You'll need to let it through gatekeeper. See the kepubify instructions for how to do this kind of thing.

Dictutil will mark it read-only as necessary, but on macOS, you can also use chmod -w to do it manually.
