[Feature request]: Store more words in history at least 1000 (or make it user-defined)
and history should not be in popup menu - it should open in new tab (history tab)

Thanks for app)), best regard Alex.

Number of history's entries is user-defined in the config file and it defaults to 500. Check:

Code: Select all

<config>
 <preferences>
<maxStringsInHistory>500</maxStringsInHistory>
 </preferences>
</config>

History entries are not in a drop-down menu anymore. See:



These features were introduced in March 2012. Download a more recent version here: https://github.com/goldendict/goldendic ... or-Windows

thanks), i will update my goldendict...

Just to add to it,

There is also a history export option in case you didn't notice and if you need to delete the words in history just select the word and press the delete button (This way you can delete the misspelled words or words without defenitions and then export it for reviews etc..).

The only issue related to history is if we click a link within the dictionary content pointing to other words (this is expecially used when you mis-spell the words and hunspell dictionary listing out the words for you), the entires do not get added to the history. These words are not even shown on the page/window title. Issue created in git.

Apart from that the history options are pretty good for the moment, in my opinion.

Thank you!
