Not getting the definition when syncing flashcards to anki

Hi,

When I try to set up Pleco so that it sends the created flashcards to ankidroid it works perfectly except that in the anki flashcard the definition turns up as just a blank when I try to study the card. If I go into anki cardbrowser and click on the card, the definition looks something like "<plecoentry c="00000000" d="50414345" e="017a0300" x="-1"/>"

Has anyone seen this before and hopefully solved it?

What I did when I tried to set it up was:
1. Flashcard system = ankidroid
2. Chose card deckare
3. Default new card model (word) = basic and released (for some reason anki has two to chose from, I have tried both, same resultat. I also tried just using Basic but still, same result)
4. Configure card models -> basic and released ->
4.1 no duplicate checking
4.2 frontside = definition (tried both with and without example)
4.3 backside = traditional hanzi and mandarin (pinyin w/tonemark no change to spaceing)
5. Add a flashcard
6 go to ankidroid, see that a card is added but there is not definition shopping on the frontside, it's just blank. (When I put definition on backside, the backside is blank instead)

Thanks in advance!

Sorry about that - bug that was in the wild for a few hours today; already fixed in 3.2.42, if you don't see that in your Google Play updates tab yet check back in a few hours and it should show up then.

It occurs to me today, exactly the same. The definition part missed.
1. Full Name: New Century English-Chinese Dictionary, 1st edition
2. Pleco Version 3.2.43
I tried it with other E-C dictionaries, and the result is OK.
So probably there is some problem with this dictionary.

Some new dictionaries don't allow definitions to be exported outside of Pleco - NEC is one of them. We should probably put up an error about that when you try to use them to make Anki cards.

thx for your reply. I changed to the build-in flashcards system. :)
