I would normally say that Macs don’t automagically unzip things unless you set them up that way, but recently I discovered that Apple Files (the iCloud file viewer app for iOS) automagically unzips files if I double tap them. Hmm. Convenience, meet Security Flaw.

However, that aside, I never unzipped the dictionary files and renamed the inner dicthtml.zip. In fact, the original files sat in my custom-dict directory as downloaded from that link ages ago. For years they worked just fine as nested zip files, but from what you’re saying, since the dictionary update, they can no longer be nested? I’ll try it out. Thank you.
