Package: ding Version: 1.7-1 Severity: normal Hi there,
I ran into considerable difficulties trying to make good on the promise of the package openthesaurus-de-text that it would "work with ding". The format of their file is bla;foo;bar so that I cannot simply use ding's dictionary mode (using the semicolon as separator). Therefore, I tried to add a "generic search" (via Search Preferences) which invariably always requites my efforts with an error message reading can't read "smeth(grepcmd)": no such element in array An example setup would be Name: test Search command: dict Language: English The same message appears when specifying my executable scripts with full (and valid) path names as "Search command". The documentation - both on- and in-line - seems rather silent on this topic. An obvious fix for this /special/ case would be to convert the thesaurus file into the two-term format that the dictionary module of ding expects. But the problem described here is more general. In case I really didn't lengthily show off my incompetence just now, I would be happy to assist in hunting this down.
