I use the middle mouse button to open tabs; just an idea, maybe you don't have a middle mouse button. [/offtopic]

I prefer the setup I have now: Middle button is copy, the bottom and top side buttons are double-click and ctrl, respectively, and left and right/scroll do the usual. So when I want to open a new tab or the Rikaisan popup, I do so with the mouse by hitting the ctrl button with my thumb and the left click/right click with index finger/middle (or ring) finger.

I like having copy assigned to the middle button in general, but also for when I'm using Stardict/Lingoes outside Firefox (e.g. in Anki). That way I can double click with my thumb to select a word then middle click to copy it, which generates the popup.

Amazing! Thank you, this works perfectly.

[sound:$a] works like a charm, thanks a lot Seizar & nest0r!

I wonder if a solution to the segmentation/highlighting issue with EPWING (where Rikaisan doesn't recognize headwords that are in the EPWING dictionaries so you can't perform a lookup even if there's an entry) might be the clipboard scanning type options like Stardict and Lingoes have? So the user can manually lookup a word if it doesn't get highlighted with a mouseover, and see if it's in EPWING or even Sanseido (and possibly WWWJDIC? re: audio).

Sounds like a good feature to me.

By the way, I noticed something strange that I can't replicate on purpose, but it happens often, that when a page loads and I mouseover something the first time, Rikaisan gives me a popup automatically even though I'm in click-only mode.

I guess I never noticed that because I always middle-click to open links in a new tab. Maybe I can figure out a way to prevent this unwanted behavior.

I got it working natively on my Mac OS 10.6.
Sadly, I no longer have a Linux machine to compile/test it on...

It's not tested 100%, but I've gotten it to work with Kenkyusha, and the changes are quite minor.

Thing is, I don't know how to pack it into one of those installable add-on things...

edit: I don't know if it's just me or not...but the EPWING mode doesn't do "incremental search," I guess you could call it. For example, 登録済み shows up in edict as one word, and below it it shows 登録.
EPWING would obviously have 登録, but it displays "Entry not found" because it doesn't have the 登録済み that edict does.

Looking at the data.js from my n00b perspective, it does seem like perhaps the highlighting/lookup words is based on an indexed sqlite db made from an edict-format-required dictionary, and then it does that scanning function similar to how the WWWJDIC glossing works? If so, perhaps in order to get highlighting functionality to change for EPWING mode, when you tell Rikaisan where your EPWING stuff is, perhaps it could somehow extract just the headwords in an edict sort of format, and Rikaisan can consult that when indexing, so it uses that for highlighting then does a lookup in EPWING like it does now? Yep, I solved it. Make it work. ;p

OK, so I am using 13.2, but the biggest problem I've found so far is that it doesn't like paths with Japanese characters in it for the EPWING directory. I'm not sure where the problem is occurring because eplkup works when I call it from the command line with Japanese characters...That's the main reason I'm not going to "release" it yet.

The only other change was removing "wine" from run_eplkup.sh
I'll have to do a diff on rikaichan.js, because I don't think I ended up changing anything, but I did play around in lookupEpwing()

As for the 登録済み thing - I was thinking what you could do in that case, is have buttons to add on and remove characters that you are searching for. The edict one would be the default, but if it was nothing, you could hit <- or -> to add/remove characters to the search string. Or if that's too clunky, maybe you could include an option to highlight the characters you want to search for?

First, thank you to everyone responsible for this project, it seems like an incredibly useful resource. However, I can't seem to get sound working on my Mac, and I'm guessing it's because I'm not doing the /usr/local/bin/mplayer thing right.

I had to create /usr/local/bin/ (and thanks to TinkerTool I can actually see it in the Finder), and then I fished 'mplayer' out of the MPlayer OSX Extended app (Contents/Resources/Binaries/etc/etc) and dropped it in /usr/local/bin/. No go. Any Mac power users here who might be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong?

@cb4960

Another feature I thought of is an automatical update feature that could be integrated into Rikai-san. I find it a bit annoying downloading the .xpi files every time a minor/major update comes, so.. perhaps this is possible? If a server/etc. is needed, that's not a big problem, I suppose

Colors
1) Can EPWING have another window color in Rikai-san? Just fancy stuff lol

Displaying entries from J-E/J-J dictionary at the same time in one window
Possible?

@Wind Owl and Tori-kun,

I'll add those feature suggestions to the first post. (no guarantees though).

Thank you for rikaisan, it's gorgeous

Thank you soooo much for making this! It is awesome!

ah nuts... mediafire is blocked at work and proxy wont launch it either... grr, I guess I'll have to wait till I'm home to try

-- ah nice exploring it now

I wonder if it would be useful to have labels in the popups or some indicator of some sort, for dictionary switching? Not a big deal, but I realized when citing a specific dictionary as a source, I wasn't sure if that was the right one because I'd lost track while cycling through (perhaps simple numerical counters for the EPWING stuff, 1-3, would work?).
