[Feature Request] Add to my words feature

[Thovi98]

Hello @BoboTiG ! I’ve just discovered your dictionnary, and I must say I’m very impressed and happy 🤗 It’s so much powerful than the official one.

I don’t know if it’s a dictionary side issue, but I love the Add to my words functionality, and I can’t use it as it’s supposed to. I explain : When I add the dictionary in the custom dict as explained

• the dictionary is not the default one. So I have to reselect it for each word search.
• I can’t add a word to My Words

I read on MobileRead that a workaround is to rename the dictionary dicthtml-fr.zip to dicthtml-fr-fr.zip. It effectively helps a lot.

• The dictionary is now named Français-Français (Personnalisé)
• I can add it now to My Words.
• But when I go to the My Words list, I see an empty page like this :

-

So it misses the definition and the book from where it has been added.

Is this issue a firmware problem or a dictionary side issue ? Do you think you’ll be able to solve this ?

Thanks again for your great work !!

Hello @Thovi98,

Thanks :)

I can reproduce the issue. If a moved back the dictionary to dict/dicthtml-fr.zip, then the word is displayed correctly. I guess this is a firmware issue: custom-dict support was not added by Kobo.

I opened an issue upstream: https://github.com/pgaskin/kobopatch-patches/issues/91, thanks for the catch :+1:

What are your Kobo model and firmware version?

[Thovi98]

Thanks for your fast reply !! I’ve just tried and indeed, when I replace the official dictionary in dict/dicthtml-fr.zip, it works great ! I will try to understand how to stay with this custom dictionary instead of the official one without Kobo trying to replace it at every sync.

Kobo model : Kobo Libra H2O Firmware version : 4.26.16704

I close the issue as it has nothing to do with the project finally. Let's focus on the upstream issue :)
