after installing Qstardict on your n900,

go to

http://xdxf.revdanica.com/down2/inde...ormat=StarDict

and download the dictionaries you want.

Extract them in a folder in your pc.

Connect the n900 via usb and create a folder for the dictionaries (e.g. documents\dict)

copy all of the extracted dictionaries from the computer to the n900 folder that you just created.

disconnect the n900 from the pc and open the qstardict app.

Go to Menu\COnfigure
plugins tab
stardict (make sure a V is on its left)

and click on the wrench tool. Then click on the plus and point it the folder where you previously put the dictionaries.
go back and select the "dictionaries" tab

make sure all the dictionaries are listed and have a V (meaning they are active)

That's it

let me know if it's not clear.

I did everything as guided by you. But when I click on the wrench tool, nothing happens. Unable to point to the dictionaries folder. Please help.

If you're using PR1.3, does it work better if you use this version instead?

@FBergon:
Thanks trying to help us. I have the same error: the wrench button isnt working after updating to PR1.3.

But how can i try to install the version "...3fb2"? i tried a lot of links but it isnt working by now. could you send me an link for installation or send me the steps to do it manually?

thanks in advance and i will answer you soon if it works with that version.

Actually, the version to download is rather this one. You must enable the extras-devel repository to download it. Search on the forum to know how to do that.

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Quick reply...
As I have dictionaries with images (never mind that QStarDict doesn't display them), I didn't want Images Viewer to index the dictionaries folder.

So I changed it to /home/user/MyDocs/stardict/.hidden/dic

As GUI generally doesn't display folders beginning with dot, I changed it directly in the configuration file. Its location:
/home/user/.config/qstardict/qstardict.conf

Best wishes.

thanks a lot.
So it finally works:

I followed the link: http://wiki.n900.de/Repositories to add the repository "Maemo Extras Devel" in my programm manager. Then after waiting quite a long time i could refresh my program list an the new added version of QStarDict was offered. I downloaded it and it works.
The wrench tool can be used again.

So thx a lot!! QStarDict is way better then MStarDict

That doesn't look as if you had EXTRACTED those files.

Re: How to install dictionaries for QStarDict ?
 
Can anyone help?
:confused: I copied all 3 of the extracted dictionary files from the computer to the n900 folder that I created /stardict/dic/stardict-eng_eng_main-2.4.2
NOTE that in the N900 I CAN see these three files in File manager!

I then disconnect the n900 from the pc and open the qstardict app.

I tap QStarDict at the top & tap Configure, go to Plugins tab,
select stardict (made sure a V is on its left next to the ticked box)
and I click on the wrench tool. Then I click on the plus and point it to the folder (/stardict/dic/stardict-eng_eng_main-2.4.2) which is where I put the 3 dictionary files - (.dz .idx & .ifo) & I then see the message (no files/folders) on the screen ????? Any ideas why I can't see the files?

Just an update to this .... I just installed FreOffice & then installed MStardict and both ALSO cannot read ANY files in any folders
What is going on?
