History-file

[mirkozimmerschitt]

I love GoldenDict very much, I use it almost every day. Thanks!!!!
It would nevertheless be wonderful to store more words (perhaps all of one day, or 1000) in the history-file.
Is there a possibility for a non-programmer to change it? Or is there a trick I could use? I would be very glad to get an positive answer from you.
Keep up your good work!

You can change the value in the source code and recompile. However, Qt won't be able to accommodate for this - it doesn't offer scrolling in the menus.

Thanks for your answer, ikm.

I'm not sure if I'm able to recompile the source code, but I'll try it.
The scrolling won't be a problem, because I only need the history file after using GoldenDict to see what vocabulary I was looking for while reading texts.

At the moment I use a little batch-file:

:loop
type history. >> merge.txt
sleep 60
goto loop

At the end I delete the duplicate lines.
That'll do for me. It's only a little amateurish.

Once more thanks for the program and your work.

Dear ikm, it would be good to have something like not very long "History" menu (so, you can tweak it by hardcoded constant) and long "history" file with its size constraint stored in user-modifable settings.

History of searched words seems to be interesting thing to analyze time-by-time.

(Thanks for the program.)

I would also like some feature to save history sessions. It might be something similar to an addon for firefox, session manager

A menu to load and save history-sessions would be definetely very useful
