Importing flashcards to user dictionary

Shun

状元
Hi,

I've noticed that when importing a flashcard from a text file to a user dictionary, where the word's 简体字 and 繁体字 are different, but only the 简体字 is given in the text file, Pleco adds the 繁体字 in the flashcard, but not in the user dictionary it's linked to. This creates the effect that the flashcard doesn't show as already added if I tap on the word and the user dictionary definition is displayed.

Shouldn't Pleco add the 繁体字 to the user dictionary, as well?

Thanks.

We don't have a 'fill in missing' function for user dictionaries at the moment. Our current plan for user dictionaries is that as of (probably) 3.3 they'll be done away with in their current form, replaced by:

1) Searchable flashcards - custom words / definitions from flashcards automatically come up in your search results just like dictionary entries.
2) Separate user dictionaries that are either created from an file import or dumped from flashcards. We aren't sure whether these will be editable at all once they're created (we think edit support might be worth sacrificing for performance in this case).

The idea being that if you have a set database that you want to make into a user dictionary, you can do that, either from a text file or by exporting a collection of entries you've been writing in your flashcard database, but for people who aren't developing databases for distribution everything is kept in your personal database which is then seamlessly synced / backed up / etc without you having to worry about things like whether you've got a custom flashcard or a flashcard that links to a user dictionary entry.
