    hi,

    I know you developed already your apps and it is hard to change something that fundamental at this stage.
    But anyway, could you both please agree to just one folder to store the dictionary files (and common formats, that should be already a standard).
    I like both programs, but I think it is pretty useless to have each dictionary twice on my N900.

    Thanks.

    You can have both applications to use the same directory for dictionaries already:
    http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...530#post590530

    mstardict should have ~/.mstardict.d/ also, so users could soft link it to anywhere they want.

    For now, just have to accept mstardict wants its dictionaries in /home/user/MyDocs/mstardict/
    But for QStarDict, you can make a softlink from that mstardict directory to /home/user/.stardict/dic

    Under the subject, at the same time, I can repeat my feature request:

    I agree with zimon, just would like to point out that according to http://maemo.org/packages/view/mstardict/, mstardict also reads ~/.stardict/dic, so it should be sufficient to have all dictionary files there.

    I've just tested this and can confirm that mstardict will read the dictionaries from there.

    I've already added reading dictionaries from /home/user/.stardict/dic directory to development version of mstardict, but I didn't have time to release it. I was requested by some other guy, so it will be there for sure :-)

    So what is the difference with these two? I am trying to decide which to install.

    As in "better" is what way?
    Thanks for response.

    I read that the programming language the QStarDict is written is more advanced, if that is true or matters at all.
