Dictionary function completely broken

LittleBiG · 07-04-2022, 04:24 AM

I have recently received the new Onyx update (v3.2.3) to my Nova 3 and I noticed that the dictionary function became completely broken. Actually, I also installed a recent nightly build (2022.06-12) but I doubt the problem lies there.
When KOreader is set to use an external dictionary, nothing happen on search. Using the internal ones, the dictionary popup appears, but there is the text "Not available" in the title bar (where is the dictionary name usually)

Hi. Something seems to be screwed on the last couple of nightlies and is not related to your firmware.

Stick to latest stable release until it is fixed.

If you want to use external dicts you need to check that box and check the app you want to use. The list will show disabled entries for all those apps that are not currently installed on your device.

FYI even the installed one is disabled and it is still ticked.

The runtime check for installed apps happens once at KO init.

If you install a dict while KO is running and want to use it then exit or kill KO and start it again.

If you uninstall a dict that you configured as you preferred external dict then the menu will show you your preference but the app will be shown as disabled and the dict lookup action will do nothing.

That covers all the possible scenarios. It's the intended behaviour and it isn't going to change.
