Another minor thing.

I've uploaded my dict. 42 of all :D (with technical,medical etc... dict.)

Now , i wanted to make an order in "my dictionaries" tab.

Unluckly , my most important dict. at the last.

Hold... wait ... move up... wait 6 sec... 41.

Hold again... wait... move up... 6 sec... 40.

What i want to say is , don't you think adding a moveup and movedown button will be handy?

Processing time may be normal bec of that much dict. but holding and waiting every time is a pain in the ... :) i lost 30min ordering the dictionaries... :(

Like nokia up down buttons... just a suggestion. :)

Good suggestion, I'll think about better implementation, thanks. But may be not in that release.

As for HD2 specific forum: I thought that Marketplace access is already resolved issue for the HD2 owners?
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] soulforger:
Yes , resolved. But for example i found this dictionary here , on xda. MP search is crappy...
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Currently I'm running Microsoft AdCenter campaign for SilverDict, already spent about $50. Have you ever seen SD ads in the other ads-based apps?

Also a few WP7-scene sites published SilverDict reviews... But seems like it's not enough :( BTW, marketplace advertising policy/rules kinda strange... Sometime they announced crappy, unpopular and low-rated apps as a "best" or "top".
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Okey-dokey, about dictionary reordering: try new version. I hope you'll find new dictionaries manipulations handy and useful ;)

P.S. I know how devastating "feature-daemon" can be but I don't like that context menu too so I decided to implement this feature in that release :D
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] anon1811:
upload to skydrive?

my suggestion would be to upload some or all of the installed dictionaries to skydrive or dropbox as a backup. That would be easier than WPDM and could also be used with devices that are not unlocked.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
anon1811, you may deploy new build using update, it will keep all your installed dictionaries and app settings. Alternatively (if you sideloaded app) you may use ISETool.exe to backup and restore installed dictionaries. For example, to backup app's whole IsolatedStorageFile to the current directory, use command:

ISETool.exe ts de 6686db34-b87a-4934-8770-5e73490394bf .

To restore, use:

ISETool.exe rs de 6686db34-b87a-4934-8770-5e73490394bf .
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] god_forbids:
I have seen SilverDict ads here and there. It made me want to get the app but I already got it :) I think the first place I heard of it was a review I saw through WP7 News at one of the scene sites.

I have a need for various Japanese and English dictionaries and SilverDict is the fastest and easiest to use dictionary app for my purposes. Keep up the good work with development, I have no issues.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
god_forbids, thanks for response! :) As for ads: I've spent some money to the SilverDict advertising campaign and seems like it works. BTW, it's just a good piece of software doesn't matter advertised or not :D New update will be committed to the MP today, including $0.99 ads-free version so stay tuned.

As for Japanese-English dictionaries: you already have ability to install your own dictionaries by using SkyDrive or DropBox accounts (and I'm kinda limited 'cause of copyright issues ;) ). Also, famous Lingvo dictionaries can be easily converted to the StarDict format, also (I believe so) some StartDict En-Ja dictionaries should exists for tthe Linux platform (StarDict is very popular on that platform)
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Version 1.3 is on marketplace (both free and paid, ads-free, $0.99)
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] stachu99:
Hi sensboston.

Your soft is great.

I installed several dicts from my skydrive and some dicts don't work.

Dicts installed fine - downloaded, unpacked and indexed. Dicts are checked in my dictionaries but I don't see dicts during browsing translations.

Can I ask you for help and could you check my dicts?

My SkyDrive - skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=E9896D9CA07B9A39!143

Dicts: Angielsko - Polski 3.0.zip, Polsko - Angielski 3.0.zip

My phone - Nokia Lumia 800.

I tested with Language setting: English (UK), Polish.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
OK, thanks for bug report, will investigate...
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] stachu99:
Hi again.

I found a solution.

I compiled my dicts in StarDict editor 3.0.3 and dicts still didn't work.

I compiled my dicts with changed name of dict with out dot '.' inside title and inside ifo file.

Wrong name: Angielsko - Polski 3.0

Good name: Angielsko - Polski 3

I think, Silverdict sometimes doesn't work with dicts that contain a dot '.' in its name.

Regards to all :)
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Great, thanks a lot for debugging! Yes, it's a bug in dictionary name parsing, will fix it on the next release.

If you have another bug reports or suggestions - you are very welcome, post 'em here!

Hello, Sorry to bother you, but, Would it be possible for you to publish this application in the Windows 8.1 market. I have bought a new tablet with Windows 8.1 installed and it would be great if I could use the dictionaries I already have.

Thank you.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
SilverDict finally received a long awaited update: with new version 1.8 (just published in store) you can install dictionaries from the SD-card! (Windows Phone 8 only)

Copy your *.bz2 archive (usual StarDict dictionaries format/archive), or pack your stardict dictionaries into zip archive and change extension from .zip to .zip.dic ("thanks" to MS "genious" who invented that stupid limitation!).

Or you may (it's the best solution) unpack .bz2/tar archive directly on your handset SD-card, and save time for uncompressing. It's a real "must use" feature for the huge dictionaries (like "CIA's The World Fact Book" or "Wikipedia offline").

Also application received a few bugfixes (not a critical but annoying and slowing down work bugs).

Please, test and enjoy (or report new bugs here, he-he :D )
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] manstein:
Thanks sensboston for the update, I am trying it now. ;)

I would to ask you how to make wikipedia offline or wiktionnary comptible with your app, as I am new to these things . I used to consult wikipedia offline and wiktionary on aard dict in Android, and aard dict creator has made the files for these great sources of knowledge available on his site.

Thank you very much.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
manstein, I'm very sorry but I'm not an expert in StarDict dictionaries creation... The only thing I can recommend to you: try to find a required dictionary in stardict format on android software forums, and install it to SilverDict (if dictionary size is huge, try to install from SD-card). Please let me know if you have troubles installing these dicts...
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] szanio:
Unfortunately it doesn't work... After unpacking an error occurs ( .tar.bz2 extension). I tried many ways, but all for nothing ;(
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:

History and export

Hi,

First, thanks a lot for a great application! Really convenient and fast one.

While reading a book in a foreign language (French in my case) I often use the dictionary to look up words, but it would also be great to create flash cards of those new unknown words. There are plenty of apps for flash cards, but they all need a word list as an input.

Thus, a feature request :) Would it be hard to implement history export (in the simplest version as an email through EmailComposeTask) and history reset functions?

Thanks!

Vadim

Great App :D
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] vanhoabui:
Hi senboston. Your app is great. I have a small suggestion. If we can swipe right or left to move to a dictionary instead of touching a tab, it would be very convenient. Thanks.

[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] Martinezz123:
Please. Copy the behaviour of CollorDict from Android:

- all the translations in one thread

- wikipedia and other online databases supported

- ability to set the order of dictionaries in the translation thread

How do I install those stardict files? I have them on SD card.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
[MENTION=3922508]Martinezz123[/MENTION], I'll not change UI design; it was designed especially this way and I like it. Also, it's an offline dictionary; if you need wiki, install one of the wikipedia apps.

You can set dictionary order in the Dictionary Manager; also, use Dictionary Manager to install your stardicts from sdcard (files should be gzipped - like most of available dicts for linux or zipped).
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] Martinezz123:
ColorDict was an offline dictionary too.

It does not mean it can't use wiki while the connection is active.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] Martinezz123:
Please tell me can I use those stardict .dict files and how?
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
[MENTION=3922508]Martinezz123[/MENTION], read the very first post; requirements are the same as for dictionary archives for download.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] ddr94:
Hi!

Got a problem with dictionary files. I copied the *.dict, *.idx, and *.cdi files to the sd-card, so I could tap the the dict file and install. the progress bar got completed and it says "error". Dict files are working at ColorDict (Android) really fine, but not on my Lumia 550 with Windows 10... someone knows to help me?

A zipped archive did not work too..
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] sensboston:
[MENTION=547069]ddr94[/MENTION], you need to to zip *.dict, *.ofs and *.ifo files first (not sure about *.idx) and install dictionaries from archive. AFAIR, *.idx is "ColorDict" specific index file; "SilverDict" is using old *.ofs format (however I also reindexing dictionaries to my own index file for better/faster search) but maybe I forgot something (app was written many years ago).

Could you please upload somewhere your dictionaries and gimme a link?

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-news/popular-game-developer-halts-work-on-android/7117

A lot of Android hate and doom and gloom in this one. A couple days old, but didn't see it on here and I had fun reading through some of the deluded iPhone customers and Android naysayers hate.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
In some respect the article has a point. The variety of Android phones/internal hardware can and does cause issues at times. Look at a few apps at times and you will see them being updated at times per device cause of an issue. But that's the cost of being a dev as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ccline84:
Oh, I know, and I really hope that ICS becoming the standard and helps alleviate some of the issues. I bought Zombieville USA and Battleheart and am slightly angered that these two games will not be getting any more support.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
ICS is not going to change it. Just as any other major Android build has not changed it either. Not every phone is going to get an upgrade to ICS just like not every phone got an upgrade to GB/Froyo and so on. Low end phones that can't handle ICS will be stuck on the version they are on till that person gets a new phone. this is why people do talk about fragmentation of the android platform and honestly in some respects they are right. Microsoft and Apple do not really have this issue (but MS also does not have as many different variation of phones that Android does and Apple only has 1 phone regardless of hardware that does not really change all that much)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
Hopefully everyone follows htc's footsteps and only make a few models per year and focus on quality not quantity.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Google needs to put a clamp down and only give the market (err....the playstore) to devices that are unskinned. It isn't the hardware or apps wouldn't exist for windows, it is the excessive theming.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
HTC themselves pretty much broke that part however. The One line of phones is going to have a few "variations" EU/US and so on where hardware (not talking about radios for cell providers) is different. The One line of phones that was announced at MWC with quad core and so on will only have duel core when they hit the US again fragmenting the ecosystem and having more phones to deal with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nuenjin:
I honestly think there has been widespread experimentation on the part of manufacturers. In the beginning, android had more limitations, obviously, and I think the evolution of the OS has moved faster than the hardware makers.

I read that Motorola is going to limit their yearly offering as well.

I just upgraded from the transform. It was the red headed step child that required rebooting several times a day.

I truly believe that it was only meant to be a second tier option next to the original epic.

I hope there is a little more thought about how many different phone flavors are produced and how it makes android look compared to apple.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdsnyder:
The smartphone market is not one size fits all. Apple would like that to be the case, but it's just not. My wife hates the size of the screen on my E4GT, and loves the keyboard on her Evo Shift. I'm the exact opposite. It's nice to have options.

This is the equivalent of a Windows developer whining that their software doesn't run on EVERY SINGLE PC running Windows. Oh, and with Apple pushing out new phones/software updates that DO leave features out for those on older hardware (Siri & iphone 4??) fragmantation will also be an issue. They now have 3 ipads and however many iphone versions to deal with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Actually anything from the iPad2 will work just fine on the iPad3. The only difference would be is if the dev "chooses" to update the graphics for the new screen size. outside of that it does not matter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
That is true at this point but soon there will be apps that only run on the "New" Ipad and will not work on 1 and 2. IOS is fragmenting as well. The difference is Isheeple don't whine about it they slavishly run out and upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Actually I don't see that as becoming an issue. The reason I don't is cause Most devs can do exactly what can already be done with Android as well. Offer a HD pack that changes graphics only and will work on the higher res screen while keeping the app itself standard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
It isn't hardware that complicates things for developers, it is software. Trust me, I went to school for this stuff. With Android, a developer may call an API only to find out after release that it isn't there because HTC decided to replace it with their own similar but completely different version of it for no apparent reason. This isn't the case with windows, IOS, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
As an app dev I can tell you that game development is no problem with all the built in libraries available on multiple devices. Apps don't have device-specific bugs often if at all (usually user error)

ICS changed all that since native GL libraries were added and he acceleration, etc. Whole bunch of changes.

Anyway, people don't realize that these apps net thousands and thousands of dollars+++++ more . If they had so many issues that it took away from their profits they were doing something wrong ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Game development is a unique situation because they don't have to utilize as many api's the way other types of apps do. They don't have to manage syncing, talking to other apps, notifications, bluetooth, download management, etc. And you only make that type of money if you have a hit. Most apps don't even show in the market unless you specifically search for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fenixjn:
Or allow the regular AOSP launcher to be 'switched on' on demand without rooting the device so the user is not tied to manufacturer mandated launchers like TW or Sense
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
You can do that in TouchWiz roms. It's called Sprint ID and it does infact change the launcher to the stock ICS one in seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
You do not understand what an API is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
The app in question has lots and lots of downloads I'm sure.

The issue with games is they mostly use their own game engine APIs since native stuff doesn't get so complex.

They usually do this so they're cross platform to prevent extra work ( something like adobe flex ). Although some don't do this and end up hacking up a solution that barely works like the developer in Op
