@guru great. Do you have a good link where one can get some?

No, sorry. I could only upload them to some place of the community.

doniks

No, sorry. I could only upload them to some place of the community.

Oh. Too bad. Anybody else?

doniks

I finally dug up a website: download.huzheng.org , but now I can't figure out how to import it. in the import wizard, I get to the point where I select the folder where I placed the three files, but then nothing else happens

guru

Do you have installed the file manager app? The KnownDict should ask which app to use to import and one must use the file manager.

doniks

@guru yes I have the file manager installed. I just realized that I seemingly have to select all three files in the file picker and not the folder where they are in. But I now I'm stuck again. What I do:

open file manager, navigate to Download folder, check that I have the three files inside
open knowndict go to import, tap "start import"
file selector shows up, tap on file manager
file mgr shows up. navigate to the Download folder, longpress to select the first, then the other two, then tap select top right
returns to known dict. it shows the three files and a button "complete import" but that button doesn't seem to do anything when I hit it

guru

The instructions say that you must 1st start the import in KnownDict, then choos TimeManager, then select the files, ...

doniks, I have had to install KnownDict into my new flashed 16.04-OTA5 and to import a dictionary, of course. I shoot a series of screens while walking though this. If you still have problems with this, just drop me a pm.

doniks

Yes, still stuck. This is how far I get:

PS: can't PM you, ... forum says "This user has restricted their chat messages. They must follow you before you can chat with them", ... whatever. happy to discuss here, or you PM me, or you telegram me if you prefer: @dohniks over there

guru

And what happens if you click that button 'Complete imports'?
I don't think that number of files is causing the problem. I created the dictionary you saw in my screens by own and may be I did something wrong. Just test some other dictionary.

Let me know if you have figured it out, please.

Visibly in the app nothing happens. In the log file I see this:

unknown- 0: unknown M: QSqlQuery::prepare: database not open
unknown- 0: unknown M: select * from dictionary where filename=? :  " Parameter count mismatch"
unknown- 0: unknown M: copy dict file error :  "/home/phablet/.cache/knowndict.doniks/HubIncoming/52/Concise_Oxford_English_Dictionary.dict"

unknown- 0: unknown M: copy dict file error :  "/home/phablet/.cache/knowndict.doniks/HubIncoming/52/Concise_Oxford_English_Dictionary.ifo"

file:///opt/click.ubuntu.com/knowndict.doniks/0.1.4/share/qml/knowndict/dict/ContentHubPicker.qml- 188: onClicked M: db_addDict_fail

I don't think that number of files is causing the problem.

Agree. I don't think so either

I created the dictionary you saw in my screens by own and may be I did something wrong. Just test some other dictionary.

I've now tried the second one. Both don't import and the logs look pretty much the same

Could you try the
Concise Oxford English Dictionary (En-En)
from here: http://download.huzheng.org/bigdict/index.html
does it work for you?

doniks

ughhh, problem was in front of the screen. figured it out

What was the problem exactly?

doniks

@guru I had changed the appname in some places but not in all and thus it failed at properly finding the sqlite database to store stuff in. my fault
