This is really strange. As you say, in 2.1.1, the E-E dictionary is encrypted. In the recent dictionary files, as delivered in the synchronizing process, the E-E dictionary, and some others, the html-files are again gzipped. I thought this is the reason why yours is working fine.

This is really a nice idea. I tested already with the encrypted dictionary whether I do the decompression and compression correctly. I was unsure of it because of the unicode file names. But it worked well. As for my edited dictionary, I doubt that I messed it up. And even if I did, the dictionary engine seems to be very forgiving, since already in the original files there are mismatching tags and they dictionaries work nonetheless. But I will certainly test it. Thanks for the good idea!

I tried this already. I replaced the German-German dictionary (in the recent version, it is not encrypted). It did not work.
Would be interesting to replace the recent E-E dictionary with the version of 2.1.1 in order to see whether the dictionary engine can handle both gzipped and encrypted files in this case.
Thanks again for the input!
