I've also put a version with behaviour script only files on GitHub.

There is extended documentation in the readme file with details on how to self-host the LiveCode Dictionary.

This is really useful, thanks for putting it together. Just curious, should the Dictionary pane automatically display the search results as well? It works fine if I duplicate the search term in the Dictionary search field. It's not a big deal, I'm just wondering if it's acting as expected.

It's very nice to have all these places combined into a single stack, which is immediately going into my Plugins folder. :)

I'm not sure I understand your question Jacque, from my testing of the stack, what you type into the search is populated in the search of the dictionary by default, and if you wanted to check something else, you can type it into the dictionary search after as well without interrupting the rest of the search tabs.

Search from main box...

What am I missing? Doesn't it work this way on your system?

Mac issue? I don’t see it get populated either.

There are spaces in the URL which if removed make it work correctly on my machine. (In the search button script)

Search string should probably be URL Encoded (for spaces mainly). Dictionary code needs to reverse that though.

Ah, that could be it Brian. I know on linux it pops no issue, I didn't think to test it on Mac or Windows :oops:

Ah, my bad spaces removed. New version on share.

I will look at the url encoding during next week.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Can you think of any other resources that could be added?


Oh and I need to add a check for Internet connection as not having a connection at startup can cause a partial hang whilst the browser widgets try to resolve their Urls.

Hm. Well, Max's Wiki would probably be helpful as a resource.

Does anyone know if the guide is directly drawn from the Lc lessons page now, just organized better, or if it is a separate easy to access resource? I think it might be useful here as well, since it is formatted to flow better than the pdf version of IDEs past.

I did notice an odd bit of behavior in the first version as well, on linux anyway. If you type a search, then move to any other tab than the first one, you can't modify the search until you go back to the first tab (hope that makes sense).

Lastly, what would be the easiest way to turn this into a standalone if possible, Andy? I so rarely find myself in the later versions where using it as a plugin is workable, but as a standalone it could be useful just as a quick research tool.

I use this exclusively as a standalone on Win 10 .. just build for your platform.
On Windows, the Segmented control and browser are automatically found and included in the build.

I have an old machine with Linux Mint on, so next week I'll spin it up and test on that as well.

I think the stalled search is due to the blocking when a browser widget is loading an url.

Do you know if tsnet can be used to get the url and then send to a browser widget?
