What would it take to optimise this? I can't get it to work in my N9 at all, and fail to see how it's useful in its current form. To begin with a dictionary of any size takes a long time to load, which makes switching back and forth between one language direction to another (German-English to English-German, say), which are different dictionaries, impractical in the field. And it is impossible to find a word in the dictionary. Scrolling is nice and smooth, but a minute of scrolling in a sizeable dictionary won't even get you out of the first letter of the alphabet, or even close. There is a search function, but typing more than two characters locks up the app with over 90% of CP going to it and I have to kill it.
So how can this app be made useful? There are a HUGE number of dictionaries available, so it would certainly be fantastic if there were a way to use it.
And @Wonko, would you consider posting this in the N9/Harmattan section? I only found it by accident.

I second @noetus comments. It will be very useful with several small tweaks(quicker loading, working search). Anybody knows of other dictionary viewers/apps for N9?

http://simplictionary.garage.maemo.org/
As usual, comments and feedback are highly appreciated.
Please also note that Simplictionary isn't in any way optimized performance-wise.
Neither do I expect to get the time to optimize it.
It's a pretty quick hack to display dictionaries in XDXF format as this was what I needed at the moment.
I still hope some of you will find it useful.
I noticed you distribute Simplictionary under the GPL.
Would you mind to share the source code, perhaps by a
link to a GIT repository?
