GoldenDict Forum

hi,
from few days ago, upon launching goldendict on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine i am getting a message about crashing (below).
i didn't change a thing (unless one of the system updates changed something) in between the time it was OK to the time it crashed.
any idea?
thanks

this is the message:

GoldenDict has crashed with an unexpected exception

It seems your configuration got corrupted. Just run

Code: Select all

rm -rf ~/.goldendict

from a Terminal window and run GoldenDict again. It will recreate a default configuration. You will have to index your dictionaries again.

thanks, that did the job.

Please, tell me - how does it on Windows 7? I have that problem, too.

The location of the configuration folder on Windows can be determined via menu: Help -> Configuration Folder.

Yes, thankyou! I found it c:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\GoldenDict\
After deleted All file, and now goldenDict start again. But I need to create indexes again.
