Thank you Chulai, so far this early build works great for me on Mountain Lion (10.8.2).

Hi there

I've just installed this new version of goldendict for mac and I don't get how to make it work. When I try to add new dictionaries from a folder it doesn't allow me to select the bgl dictionaries I've downloaded. Even if I click "rescan now" it doesn't reconize the bgl files. The bgl fles are readable & writable for everybody. What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Xathieur

You are not doing anything wrong. It's a well-known issue that BGLs don't work in GoldenDict for OS X. Check all OS X specific issues here:

I'm the one who originally wrote the request. I'm happily using build 296d6d5dirty
Should I update? Where? I went to the Early Access BUilds page but it was inaccessible.

Yes, absolutely. Your build is from April 2012. There have been a great deal of improvements and bug fixes since then. You should be able to check the list of changes and download the last EA build on this link https://github.com/goldendict/goldendic ... r-Mac-OS-X
Note: Unfortunately, Babylong BGL files, hotkeys and scanpopup remain not supported in OS X.
