aard-tools: Compiler option from Babylon (.BGL) and/or Compressed StarDict (.dict.dz, .ifo) dictionaries with Aard Tools?

I would use the dictionary arrdict in an eBook reader with CoolReader 3, I've compiled the wiki and Spanish Wikt with Aard-tools.
I have several encyclopedic dictionaries for Babylon PC program but I can not compile with Aard-tools. With stardict-editor I can convert to Compressed StarDict: res/, .ifo, .dict.dz, .idx, .syn.
Can compile Babylon dictionaries and/or Compressed StarDict dictionaries?

thanks

Difficulty in Scrolling vs. Selecting Text (N900)

(Originally reported by anonymous on Sep 19, 2010 at BitBucket)

Is there any way to separate the scrolling and selecting text functions? It is annoying that I want to scroll through the articles but the app keeps selecting the whole text, making it impossible to scroll (single click does not remove the selected part), and also impossible to read (due to the highlighted text selected).

can't set dictionary links manually

(Originally reported by anonymous on Aug 24, 2010 at BitBucket)

It searches dictionary links automatically almost everytime I start it and it takes nearly a minute, hope I can manually locate the dictionary files. Google search box pops up the first time I type in the search box after the dictionary files are found.

Feature: Load dictionaries from outside /sdcard directory

I think it is a good idea to be able to load dictionaries from outside sdcard directory, specially because it is useful to have an USB with all wikipedia to connect and use.

aardc ends earlier then 100%

I executed aardc

aardc wiki cswiki-latest-pages-articles.cdb --siteinfo cs.json --timeout=5 --show-legend

for convert czech wiki from 27.12.2012.
There are maybe some deprecated functions:

not (element.getchildren() or element.text or element.tail) and parent):

and some exceptions

Exception RuntimeError: RuntimeError('cannot join current thread',) in <Finalize object, dead> ignored

Sometimes aardc ends with 80% sometimes more then 90%.

Recurring requests for network connection in offline mode on N900

While the N900 is offline (disabled or inaccessible network connection) there are Maemo requesters coming with question about establishing Internet connection.

These requests come many times while browsing found entries. As such makes reading offline wikipedia entries pretty annoying...

Aarddict loses position when returning in articles

When returning to a previous article in wikipedia Aarddict loses position. This is very annoying when reading long articles and wanting to read a link somewhere. Upon turning back one has to search one's last position one's again.

Memory leak and slow down due to text buffer tag table reuse

(Originally reported by itkach on Feb 18, 2009 at BitBucket)

Same instance of tag table is used for all article text buffers. As a result each time a text buffer is created a large number of new tags is added to the tag table, these tags are never removed. The tag table grows in memory and significantly slows down gtk.Widget.destroy(), so relatively soon clearing articles when starting new lookup becomes very slow and makes UI unresponsive.

Version affected: 0.7.1

Installation does not honour --prefix

With 0.9.3, the following command raises an error (after adding the prefix directory to PYTHONPATH):

$ python setup.py install --prefix=/tmp/aard

...
running install_data
creating /nix/store/a1x98y7y83j4x4d4pk21w9m4f60dgs9r-python-2.7.5/share/icons
error: could not create '/nix/store/a1x98y7y83j4x4d4pk21w9m4f60dgs9r-python-2.7.5/share/icons': Permission denied

The /nix/store/... path is where my python installation resides, so installation does not seem to follow the given --prefix. I also tried to add the parameter
--install-data=/tmp/aard
with the same outcome.

The problem occurs when trying to package aarddict for the GNU Guix distribution, in which each package is installed into its own directory.

problem (and patch) on read only .aar files

hi!

i installed some .aar files in /var/spool/aarddict/ with owner nobody and world readable.

aarddict would not read them and give a "permission denied" error.

the problem is in the init function in the Volume class, file dictionary.py, line 416 ( on my version ):

   f = open(self.file_name, 'r+b')

the 'r+b' opens the file in "update mode", which means read and write.
is the program ever writing to the aar files?

after a change to

   f = open(self.file_name, 'rb')

the files are loading without problems and all logged-in users (for now only me...) can use the program without any problems and without wasting lots of space.

Redirection by id

Hello. Your software is great. Would it be possible to change the aard dict's redirection behavior according to the following page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Section#Section_linking_with_arbitrary_id ? As for now, aard dict only redirects to sections which are titles (h1, h4, ==, ===, etc.), it would be cool if it could redirect to sections with a particular id.

Article tab order based on dictionary preferences

The original feature request was for SDict Viewer: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?

Users should be able to specify their preferred dictionaries. When multiple articles are available the
tab with article from preferred dictionary should be selected.

which the suitable for me

i haven't much more space in my hard disk to download all Wikipedia dictionary volumes so i want only one volume that have the content which related to my study field which is 'computer science engineering' .

you can consider it as suggestion : you can give a description (categorize) for any multi-volumed dictionary
example : volume-i Wikipedia's contents are science, history, politic ,sport .,.. etc

problem when compiling wiktionary

Hello
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 i386
After compiling tr.wikrionary.org there are no word definitions in articles, only information like language, tense, etc.
Example:
Original article:

ffordd
Galce
Ad
Anlamlar
[1] yol

My case (from aarddict):

ffordd
Galce
Ad

as you see, there is no translation
I've followed instructions here http://aarddict.org/aardtools/doc/aardtools.html, except that

1. installed libicu48 instead of libicu38
2. had to give executable permission to env-aard/bin/activate
3. simplewiki-20101026-pages-articles.cdb is not a file, but a folder
4. had lots of these messages during aardc wiki ... execution:

Text set to black, but background left at default == black on black

On my N800 tablet, the styles are set so that text is white and the background is black. Unfortunately Aard Dictionary appears to force text to be black, while leaving the background colour as the default. This means that all I see is a handful of blue links in a sea of blackness, perhaps with a "Redirected from X" visible at the top (since that has a set background colour).

At a minimum Aard Dictionary should either force both text and background colours to a particular colour or leave them both at the system defaults, because otherwise it risks not being readable. Being able to set the background and text colours in the same way that you can standard colours would also be neat, given that others could be set through HTML styles in the page itself.

Implement article section links

(Originally reported by itkach on Feb 27, 2009 at BitBucket)

Incorrect Icon Line

The icon line in the .dekstop file reads Icon=aarddict.png. Including the extension actually breaks freedesktop guidelines and style consistency. The way icon lookups work, Icon=aarddict is sufficient.
