GoldenDict Forum

On this PC, I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise, 32-bit, with Service Pack 1 installed.

I have experienced similar problems on the 64-bit version.

Could you try the very latest build:
GoldenDict-1.0.1-481-g7496f5f: http://rghost.ru/42909981

Meanwhile, I've tested build #477 on various Windows XP x32, Windows 7 x64, Windown 8 x32, and scan popup works on all of them for me.

I'm afraid Build 481 has exactly the same problem:
1) Whenever the program is started with "Send translated word to main window" blank, the pop-up window fails to work and no translation appears.
2) Switching that option ON makes the program work normally, with the translation appearing in the main window.
3) Switching that option OFF has no effect until the user highlights or copies a word for translation, at which point the program crashes.

Could it be something to do with writing to the configuration file(s)?

Since I cannot reproduce the problem it is unclear to me what's the root cause of it.

My only theory so far is that somehow in a process of applying additional changes on top of early access version you ended up with weird combination that doesn't work for some reason.... Well, a second theory is that you have broken config that somehow causes GD to crash.

Could you try this version, it is a full GoldenDict, with everything inside. Just extract it somewhere, enter the GoldenDict folder, and create portable folder inside. That way you'll have a standalone portable installation to test, with all the configs contained inside that portable directory.

Give a run and see if the problem exists. I used exactly this version on various Windows PCs and on all of them it worked.

If this GD version works with the newly-created config file, try to copy your own config from your main installation to this test version. That way we'll check what's the cause, the actual GD version or your configuration file.
