(solved) .IFO file missing. How to create?

I have some dictionaries consisting of 3 files: cdi, dict, idx. I use them on my android phone with the app "colordict".

I assume they do not work with GoldenDict because of the missing .IFO file. They do not get added to Goldendict. How could i generate the necessary "IFO" or otherwise make them working?

In the meantime i was able to solve the issue by simply adding tho following dummy IFO file to the dictionary folder:
StarDict's dict ifo file
version=2.4.2
bookname=DICTIONARY_NAME
sametypesequence=h

A bit strange that it works without the value for the "wordcount" but yes, it does work anyway :o

So thanks a lot, toctoc, for your readiness to help, i appreciate it very much.
