Kanjipaste does not work!

[flowa13]

Hi,

I coul not help but notice - searching in the dictionary is no problem at all but if I try to paste a Kanji/compound into the dictionary searchfield I do not get any entries.

Since I used to do this a lot with the 2006 Stackz, I would really appreciate this feature in the new version as well.

After all this is an essential feature  ;)

Try pressing the enter button more than once to search... this normally clears it up for me.

Please describe a bit more what happens, when I try it works.
What do you do exactly (mouse or keyboard)?

Have you indexed your files in the dictionary setup dialogue?

If not, that may be the problem.  I was having the same issue earlier today trying to cut & paste into the Japanese place names dictionary, till I realized I hadn't indexed that file yet.
After that, it worked as expected.

@Kinzokusei no Inu:

Thank you for your advise. However it does not provide the solution for this problem, at least not when using the "wadoku jiten".
If I select the index file and search with "analyze" un-cheked, the dictionary only shows me some random letters - with "analyze" checked nothing at all. I have to point out: since the same problem does occur with the former Stackz programm I usually do not use an indexfile.

@Chris:

To reproduce my problem select the japanese-german dictionary, "wadoku jiten" file, not indexed (see above).

Search for e.g. "hana" (in Kana) select one of the appearing Kanji, e.g. "花".

Copy and paste it in the searchbar of the dictionary and search again.

Wether "analyze" is checked or not, the search will not show a result.   


Thanks

So it is related to this specific dictionary file?
The other dictionary files work correctly?

Then please let me know what file it is exactly, i.e. where I can download it to reproduce the issue - my wadoku link seems to be broken  :-\

Edit: I found a copy of Wadoku jiten (WdJTEUC.txt) and it worked well - but only AFTER generating the index. The reason are the different line feeds in Wadoku jiten... when generating an index file, a wadoku jiten file with the correct linefeeds is created.

Sorry this does not work either. I can only tell you that this problem is not limited to the wadoku jiten and that I never encountered it

in Stackz 06, either with indexed dictionaries nor with unindexed ones.

If nobody else has this problem/is able to reproduce this malfunction, it seems that it can not be helped for the moment  :-[

Any ideas how I should proceed with this problem ???

[Chris]

There is not much I can do at the moment...

I noticed the same problem with my Japanese Vista 64 bit installation of Stackz 7 RC 6 with the standard english Edict file. I couldn't search on Kanji, only Hiragana. And even then the results were... strange. After I reindexed, which wrote over the index that came with the Edict file, could I search by Kanji with clean, properly formatted results. I guess the moral of this story is to index your dictionary files just in case. I know you don't index, but it seems like that's the only way. On my core2duo machine it took about 20 seconds to completely index the file.
