character said:By dual pane I thought you meant two files. Adding that would be a big win.
To display the definition, you could split the document and display the definition in the middle in a 2-3 line scrollview.

Just put a border around the definition and show it with an optional animation.Displaying the definition in the middle seems like it might end up causing more confusion than it causes - people would think there were two documents when there actually weren't.

character said:I don't really agree with your argument against having a fixed place for the definition -- the user can always scroll the document so the characters they want to look up are close to the defintion area. You could also offer users the option of having the definition area on top, or bottom, or at the side.

Looks like a bug coming from Apple's automatic change of behavior when the keyboard engages (i.e. the onscreen keyboard no longer pops up).

Is it running OS 3.2.1 or 3.2.2 (updated from 3.2)? There's a bug in our software related to this that should be fixed in the 2.2 update - we'll do some extra tests with an external keyboard to make sure. Thanks!
cjgait said:It's 3.2.1. I'll try to figure out doing the upgrade (if it's a solid one. Apple has been known to put out some colorful updates).
radioman said:1) is there anyway to, form the Pleco web browser save a url to the springboard as an icon?
radioman said:2) and on a related note, is there anyway to a have it so that from safari, if you save a plecoforum page to the springboard, it will place a decent looking Pleco icon on the springboard? (ah..not a big priority but thought I would throw it out there...)

- Maybe the most ANNOYING part - NO VPN. On WiFi services and even China Mobile Edge - no problem, but for some reason Unicom apparently does not allow it.
I don't know if there's a thread about this already or if I'm the only one with the problem, but my pleco crashes every time when I do a flashcard test over 50 cards. As I select 75 or more cards it always closes abruptly after about 60 cards and doesn't save the session...
If you encounter a crash with Pleco on iPhone, you can send us a log file to help us diagnose the problem. Sync your iPhone with your computer, then go into:
Mac OS X : /Users/(your username)/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/(your device name)
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\(your device name)
Windows Vista / 7: C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\(your device name)
and locate the appropriate log file or files (should have names starting with "Pleco" and the file extension .crash). Send that file to mikelove@pleco.com and we'll get to work on it.
Also, I should note that on Windows that "Application Data" folder may be hidden - choose "Folder Options" from the "Tools" menu, go to the "View" tab and check the radio button to "Show hidden files and folders" to make hidden folders visible.
Just a quick correction, on OSX (Leopard) the crash logs are under ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice rather than /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice
mikelove said:- most dictionary entries should fit on the screen just fine even with the keyboard visible, and I'd say in general that a better goal for us would be to make the entire UI (even tab-switching) keyboard-friendly.
