More words in history list

Hi, All,

Thanks for the great effort of goldendict team.

I have a suggestion for improving the goldendict history design: could goldendict designers consider adding a longer list for history of words kept in goldendict? Very often I've encountered a meaning that corresponds to a word that I thought I looked up three or four days ago, but I could not remember what exact word that is. Since current list could contain only 20 words, I lost reference to the word I want to look at. Thus, if the history list could accommodate more words (or the amount of words could be customized), this niggle experience may not happen again.

Thanks.

AG

This seems the be one of the often requested features, if not *the* most requested! :) And I think that most of us (GoldenDict users) do agree that this is a good, worthwhile feature to have. It's just the main developer's resources are limited. Now that some new changes coming from new folks (Julian), there's a hope that some of the most requested items could be implemented quicker.

I like how this History feature is implemented in Lingvo. There is a list of, say, 10 or 20 items present right in the main UI, and then there is a "History..." menu that pops up a new window, with more entries and with possibility to save and to clear entire history.
