Edit--dictionaries--sources--files--recursive(unchecked)
All *.dsl dictionary disappeared from dictionary list, but babylon, startdict file works fine.

win7
Goldendict program version 1.0.1

there are some big DSL type dictionary on my computer, every time load goldendict will slow down my system.
Just want to know is the *.dsl format require recursive function or goldendict program require recursive, since first issue cannot solve.

Recursive option is for GoldenDict to search dictionaries in subdirectories of the current directory listed in Edit > Dictionaries > Sources. If you uncheck the option GD will only search in that directory and will not continue to scan into subfolders. You will do fine by always check recursive.

If your DSL slow GD startup maybe is because you have dictionaries with lot of images or sounds. Try to compress them as explained here:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1390

That should do the trick.

Good, problem solve!! thanks
