Title: Cacko Feed And Zbedic
Post by: tg on February 07, 2005, 08:15:58 am
Hi,
I'm running cacko 22 light and just installed zbedic and zbedic-dictionary-en packages. However, when I start zbedic it can not see any dictionaries installed. Am I doing something wrong or if not does anyone have a fix?

ps. By the way, cacko light is the best Z rom I have tried so far (the issues I had with kino2 in regular 22 rom seems to be gone now - not sure if this is due to rom or kino2 changes)

You hit the "search for dictionaries" button in the preferences and found nothing?

I'm using this on my Z right now from the feed.  Can you check that the dictionaries are in the /opt/QtPlamtop/share/zbedic directory?

The dictionary is there and dictionary package shows as installed in package manager. Maybe there is something wrong with my .profile (I copied my old one from some previous installation of cacko since I keep most of my aliases etc there). After briefly looking at it seems like my PATH is not pointing to /opt at all. I'll add that and see if it helps.
Thanks very much for your help.

Strange. I copied the dictionary from /opt/QtPalmtop/share/zbedic to /mnt/card/Qtpalmtop/share/zbedic and then the search button found it. This is actually better for me as I prefer to have that on sd due to size. I have no idea why id does not want to search in /opt/Qtpalmtop/share/zbedic.

Hmm, I always install the Dictionaries to SD.  This may be why I have never seen this.  Either way this sounds like something that either needs to be changed in the zbedic configuration or in the zbedic code.  I remember a thread complaining about the searching behaviour in zbedic?

I had the same prob. Could not really fix it but if I doubleclick on the dictionaryfile ...dz the prog opens with the "clicked" dictionary.

To search for dictionary files, zbedic usues Qtopia method Global::findDocuments, which "Finds all documents in the system's document directories...". Therefore, if a dictionary file is in the directory, which Qtopia does not consider as the right place for the document files, zbedic will not find it. I guess that the method does not search in "/opt/QtPlamtop/" directory.

An alternative method is to click on the dictionary file in the documents tab. This should always work. New zbedic has an additional section in the help that explains how to install dictionary files.

We have 0.9.3-2 on the feed.  Is there a newer version?

No, this is the latest version. The best place to check it: [a href=\"http://bedic.sourceforge.net/]link[/url].

Hi, I had the same problem and found a different solution. If you start zbedic from the command line and add the dictionary file as a parameter zbedic asks you in a dialog box whether you want to add this dictionary to the list of dictionaries. Confirming this will add this ditionary permanently to the dictionary-list.
