I'm shipping dictionary .pdb files with my Crosswords game. All have
the same type and creator, but have different names. Programatically
this is not a problem, but when users rely on the built-in launcher
they think they have only one dictionary installed; and they can only
delete all of them at once.
Most users will have only one or two dictionaries. But a multilingual
user (with a lot of free space :-) might have half a dozen. If the
game catches on, I intend to "webify" the process of creating
dictionaries so that users offended by the presence of "nasty" words,
or seeking a custom dictionary of medical terms, or what have you,
don't have to bug me all the time.
The point: it's not practical to solve the problem by assigning
different creators. Is there another solution, or should users learn
to live with what seems to me to be a bug in the launcher.
Thanks,
--Eric House
