After a fresh system start (apps not yet pre-cached), on some systems it can take ~15 seconds before the first window appears.

Most of this time is spent with loading Python modules.

A splash window would indicate for the user that processes have started and they only need to wait a bit.

After opening, the app shows the following error when trying to down database:

The app looks awesome. I'm looking forward to try it!

Search results from "Contains Match" and "RegEx Match" modes currently have no sorting applied.

The results could be sorted by frequency, i.e. adding up the occurrence of search terms.

E.g. abandhanta (a preliminary entry at the moment) should not display Base, Derivative, Sanskrit, Sanskrit Root.

Check .needs_grammar_button property in the render template.

Provide a cli command to replace the current DPD in Simsapa from a dpd.db generated directly from dpd-db.

Allow full regex pattern search in the SQL database.

The [ ] .* toggle in the search bar is not a full regex engine, the tantivy fulltext engine only supports globbing expressions (.* .+ a* a+).

Is there a dependent database that I need to install ?

Simsapa 0.1.8-alpha.1

I get an error if I try to open the window from the menu bar or with the shortcut.

I tried restarting the app and still got the error.

Open the corresponding commentary when reading a sutta.

Currently a way to locate a specific commentary:

• search for the Pāli title of the sutta (optionally add ...vaṇṇanā)
• alagaddūpamasutta / alagaddūpamasuttavaṇṇanā
• open the cst4 sutta page
• Ctrl+F search for the title

If you are planning to return to that section:

• highlight a phrase
• Right Click > Copy Link to Sutta and Selection
  • (this is a localhost url link)
• save it in your notes
• when Simsapa is already open, clicking the link should open the page at that location

Thanks for your project.

I found that the PTS dictionary is of great value, and the explanations of many words are more accurate and precise.
'digitalpalidictionary' is necessary, but it is not enough.

When finding a sutta in the Sutta Search, Right Click > Open in Study Window > Panel 1/2/3, currently always opens a new study window.

Provide an option to open the sutta in an already open Study Window.

For example, when the deconstructor provides sutaṁ + iti, in the Results tab should first show the various suta followed by iti.

System: Windows 10

Problem: The heading of each result is cut off.

I tried view> Decrease text size but that didn't change the text size of the results.

Perhaps somehow the line height is using an absolute value instead of a relative one?

Hi, there is no Intel Mac version for the last two releases? ;)

A menu and window similar to the sutta language download, where the user can select additional dictionary languages such as Ven. @Devamitta 's Russian dictionary.

Add an option in the search bar to limit search results to a specific nikāya or collection (dn, mn, an, ud, etc.)

Hola,

Sorry for the rather niche issue, but:

I run your wonderful software on a 13 inch screen Macbook air. When the DPD update window prompt pop up, the confirmation part runs lower than my screen, and because the window is quite long, I cannot bring it upwards to see the bottom, it just doesn't fit in the screen! Therefore I'm unable to pick to confirm the update. I tried looking at workarounds in Macos and could not find any. If there was some way to make this window resizeable or larger rather than longer or with less text, or to be able to toggle the update from somewhere else, that would be lovely. Hope all is well with you and thanks again for this amazing resource!

On the readme page it mentions the existence of an .msi file for installing on Windows. But I don't see it on the release page. Just wondering if it is available somewhere I'm missing, or if (quite understandably) it's not available at this point.
