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.
Best Regards,
Hagen
