What dictionary does Pleco use to determine a character's pronunciation?

Hi,

The title says it all. Does Pleco use a default dictionary (e.g., PLC) to determine what pinyin pronunciation is displayed for the headword? Or does it use the first dictionary as determined by the user's preferred dictionary order?

Now that the Taiwan MoE dictionary is available in Pleco, it would be great if I could set it as a default for determining/displaying pronunciation (and obviously if a character/word is not in the dictionary, a fall back would have to be used).

Thanks!

We use the first dictionary in order at the moment - if you put MoE on top then you'll get pronunciation from that. We were hoping to have support for promoting a lower-ranked dictionary's pronunciation working in time for the MoE release but didn't quite manage it.
