Hi!

It's true - I live in Francfort-Hurxt!

Well, indeed I originally wrote the app and for some time improved on its code.
But long since more experienced & professional programmers have taken over the project.

You'd better look for someone like "= X =" for support on your issue, I'm afraid.

(I didn't even download the newest versions of the dictionary as my latest one serves me well - I only use it for looking up words in a single "Italian" file...)

Returning greetings to Francfort-Zakbarch,

Clemens

I'm running DictioLaucher and can't get the dictionary to load. Please help.

Hi!

Good New Year To Everybody!

I am posting two versions of an Italian<>English dictionary file here that a member asked me for ...

The files are identical apart from their respective saving method (utf8...).
Please try which one works (better) !
If you use the improved dictionary app from =X= and others you might have to reformat contents according to its requirements - but I can't say anything about that ...
Also you might have to edit file names (e.g.: remove "utf8" or something - I don't recall the exact orders).

Hope to have helped!

Since this is a back door way which tricks the system into thinking the card has been inserted the time is still about 5-20sec to load. (The time depends on the size of the SD Card.

INSTALL
Unzip the file and place the autorun.js in the directory below.

<SD DRIVE:>\Sony Reader\Software

Hi,
the idea with the soft key is great!
It´s just pity that every time my ebook will take a long time to reboot. After many trials I could manage to get the dictionary started without rebooting the ebook, so the (re-)starting time will be reduced a lot. Below my version.
To use it, simply extract it and replace the old autorun.js with this one. Then by holding 0 while reading will trigger the dictionary (DictioLaunchX-0.87) to (re-)start.
Enjoy.
PS: as I see there is also a skin for landscape mode. But when reading in landscape mode, I can´t get this skin to appear - is that skin not in use yet or maybe I have to press some key to turn it on? Has anybody an idea?

Hi!

I'm using the DictioLaunch07b_prs505.zip, and had no problems so far.
I made an English-Hungarian dictionary 67574 words. I worked 7 hours to put it in the right form, so I considered it worth sharing :-)
It is this dictionary.

All the best!
