Announcing Mobidict: A desktop dictionary reader for azw/mobi files
Hi all,
I always wanted to be able to use my Kindle dictionaries on desktop. Hence I am happy to announce Mobidict 1.0 which lets you read azw/mobi dictionaries on Linux/Windows and macOS. Binaries are available from https://github.com/ismail/mobidict/releases I appreciate any testing & feedback. Thank you! Release History: v1.1 - 04.06.2018 * Updated libmobi for better mobi file compatibility * Windows/macOS binaries now use Qt 5.11 (upgraded from 5.10) * Removed a hack used for broken mobi dictionaries. v1.0 - 16.11.2017 * Initial release Last edited by donmez; 06-07-2018 at 11:34 AM. |

I released a 1.1 update with better mobi support (Thanks to updated libmobi) and now Windows/macOS builds use Qt 5.11 (upgraded from 5.10).

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me, I tried it with 3 dictionaries taken from this page https://bookfere.com/en/dict:
The Italian one seems to load endlessly That German one says corrupt That "internet" one says corrupt the same correcting me, the Italian dictionary works Last edited by vinniec; 08-17-2019 at 03:09 PM. |

which version of lld you have installed. when i run your command i get following error
""Couldn't find any package whose name is "lld", but there are 74 packages which contain "lld" in their name: (too many to show, the limit is 40) Unable to apply some actions, aborting"" I installed lld (1:7.0-47) but i think something is wrong as ./build.sh command show following error ""clang: error: invalid linker name in argument '-fuse-ld=lld' ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed."" |

Sorry but when I tried, about 2-3 months ago, I was on another pc with another operating system (I had kali-linux-rollling) and now I can not see what version was lld, I tried to look for the package on
repology but somehow is not listed . I still own the hd and I could do a search when I have time, if in the meantime you have not solved |

Brilliant programme, hoping for extra features

1. I could search in multiple mobi dictionaries at the same time. At little like the built-in dictionaries on Mac's. 2. It would be great if I could select a word in a random app, use a hotkey and immediately get the results from Mobidict I am suggesting this without having any idea how difficult is it to implement these things |
