abs62 / goldendict-help Goto Github PK

Compiling the help databases should be part of a regular GoldenDict build, similarly to how translations are currently compiled.

Before merging would have to convert goldendict-help line endings from Windows to Unix style, as in the goldendict repository.

Advantages of the merge:

1. The documentation will be extended in a commit that implements a new feature, not in a separate goldendict-help commit.
2. Being in the main goldendict repository may attract documentation translators.
3. Less developer work: no more need to update the documentation DB binaries in the goldendict repository.
4. Eventually smaller goldendict git repository size thanks to the absence of the binaries.

Questions:

1. Is goldendict-help a separate repository only because the Qt 4 documentation syntax is incompatible with Qt 5?
2. Is there no usable common Qt 4 and Qt 5 syntax?

If there is no compatible Qt 4 and Qt 5 syntax, the merge would have to wait until Qt 4 support is dropped (one more reason to drop it sooner). Hopefully a common Qt 5 and Qt 6 documentation syntax does exist.

Thank you for creating the AppImage w/ auto update!

I wish to report a few problems with the AppImage that are not present from apt package installs. (Although the system install has its own set of problems). My apology for reporting them here since I could not find an issue section in the AppImage repo.

1. querying online dictionaries would emit ssl errors:

Query error: Error creating SSL context (error:140A90C4:SSL routines:func(169):reason(196))

2. The icons look small on Hidpi screens, even if I set QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1
3. It is not respecting system font config, even if I set QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=GTK+

Once again, thank you for your work, and I hope there is an easy solution to these issues.
