...nice work, Björnke - the search capability really adds to the dictionary's 
usefulness and accessibility. 
Thanks for sharing.
Best,

 BvG Docu is an alternative way and GUI for using the dictionary entries. This 
 is the second Iteration, coded anew from ground up using SQLite. Differences 
 to the built in dictionary encompass:
 -  choose your own text style, size and layout for the entries
 -  full text search
 -  faster to use and easier to reach entries

 -  better usability

Excellent Bjornke - finally a full text search capability on the dictionary,
makes it much more useful.  If I may make one suggestion to you - make the
dropdown menu that lists recent entries wider so the full text of the
entries can be read - looks like there's room to do that.

Re: [ANN] BvG Docu 2

2011-08-03 Thread Björnke von Gierke
It's really not much harder. One problem is setting everything up correctly, 
creating the sql file, etc. That is now much more graphical, and more complex. 
Another problem is the lack of documentation/explanation, which existed for the 
old stack. Mostly it should still be possible to create your own GUI based on 
my code.

However, as everything is now within a SQLite database, Maybe simply using the 
'SQLite Manager' plugin in Firefox is enough for your needs? It depends on what 
you actually want to do I guess :)


I have uploaded a new version, a few small bugfixes, mostly for pdf creation 
(thx Matthias) and a bigger drop down (thx Pete).

cheers

 No, because dosclib was part of the old docu stack, and this is a complete 
 rewrite. The GUI parts and the library parts are a lot less divided in 
 this version, so I did not make a division like that this time around. 
 
 That said, it's still possible to create your own GUI (but a bit harder). 
 The easiest way to do that would be to call the relevant stack functions, 
 for example docuLibhtmlEntry(), and simply not show my stack.

 It confirms what I suspected.

Here's a hint - if you're storing your plugins folder on Dropbox you'll
end up with a couple of errors: after extracting to the sqlite file
you'll find that the BvGDocu2 plugin doesn't work right away.

First step before running the extraction: if you have an older version
in your plugins folder, delete it.
Secondly, after running the extraction, close the IDE. Now open
your user folder and you'll see both a Plugins folder and a Plugins
(case conflict 1) folder. Delete that one - the proper stuff is in
the Plugins folder already. Now you're ready to launch the IDE again
with the plugin working properly.

Also, if you're running this on Windows you'll see annoying little
square boxes all over the text fields. Don't panic - they're mostly
harmless.

And if you're running linux you're just out of luck for right now -
the extracter fails miserably with a can't open database error. I'm
confident this will get straightened out in time.
