A problem with Custom command

svenlind · 07-28-2016, 11:19 AM

I use several custom commands and I would like to add another one in order to use Wordnet lexical dictionary from Princeton University.

This command will lookup "carrot":

http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=carrot

I then enter this custom command in Marvin:

http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s={word}

But when I activate the command (Marvin 3.0.5) then Marvin closes down,and upon restart I am out of the book in question.

If I change the {word} in the command to say carrot. Then Marvin will open the browser and lookup carrot.

I tried the command in SXS, nothing happens here when I activate the command with {word}. SXS however does not close down and does not leave the book. With "carrot" SXS behaves ok just like Marvin.

Did you try the 'test' command button in the custom command editor? What happens?

Also, the placeholder is {text} not {word}.
