GoldenDict Forum

following the introduction "ABBYY Lingvo .dsl source files, together with abbreviations. The files can be optionally compressed with dictzip.", I want to compress those huge dsl files with dictzip.
Is there a windows version of dictzip?

thanks!
I tried the 3rd link (Win32 DictUI binaries - setup as GoldenDict addon
(includes DictUI and dictzip 1.9.7, requires Qt 4.7)

No dsl files have been compressed.

same error happens with the standalone dictzip (no dsl file is processed when task is shown as 'finished')
what's wrong with it, or my operations?

This is a third-party tool, and its author hasn't been very active here lately - try contacting him directly.

belleyeah, you could try to use the command-line utility directly: http://yonggun.tistory.com/49

I tested it and it works fine. But you do have to use the command line to invoke dictzip.exe, which is a bit less convenient.

thanks, Gloggy and Master ikm
I will try then.

There is old 1.9.7 version of dictzip.exe, the same as bundled with DictUI.
Somewhere I've seen a slightly more recent version - 1.9.15.

But the most actual version is 1.12.0, maybe someone could compile it for win32...

Here's the native win32 version of Dictzip, built by me:
