Working with the Dictionary plugin (was: sanse e250)

i really like rockbox i just can't figure out how to do half the stuff. but that is for another time.

right now my problem is the application "dict" i am assuming this is dictionary? any way when i open it it takes me to the keyboard. i type in a word and the screen goes black and message pops up that says "failed to open index" and then "plugin returned error". do i need to install an index on it?


p.s. in the manual it talks about "viewers" what are these? they don't show up under plugins.

Llorean:
Check the RockboxDictionary wiki page for more information about Dict. It does need an index.

As for viewers, the manual should also say what they are, and that they're not supposed to show up under plugins (including why they don't need to).

quoting from the fine manual, which is really explicit on this case:


--- Quote ---Viewers are plugins which are associated with specific file extensions. They cannot be run directly but are started by “playing” the associated file. Viewers are stored in the /.rockbox/rocks/viewers/ directory.
--- End quote ---

I suggest reading the manual -- this is the first paragraph in the viewers section.

I changed the subject name to something more descriptive. itan95, for future reference, please use a more descriptive subject name when starting a new thread.

ok thanks for all your help ;D


(edit) ok i spoke to soon. i can't find anything about the dict in the wiki. it is probably right in front of me and i am just not seeing it. but anyway could someone give me the link or something?
