    Looks great.

    1. Dict seems to work well – only wierdness is on buttons 7 and 9 – the others bring up the list of possible words, but 7 just brings up a and 9 i. This might be the tapir method, but it doesn’t do it in oldTapir… ???
    2. Adding words works great, compiles word list quickly, so on-fly should be OK!
    3. There is a strange window just to the right of the text output – not a big problem, maybe just legacy from Tapir?

    Thanks steve, looking good.

    sounds like a bug – will try to repro

    Heh i haven’t even optimised it yet ;-)
    I even thought it could be done at at startup but may be slow on big dicts like Tapir’s
    Would need .dict files then .

    That is the button spacing slider and should be invisible unless you go lookign for it.
    I decided to leave it.
    Is it visible after you delete the config file?

    RE bug: it gets the word eventually, just doesn’t show options in word list…

    RE dict – if it is quick, could be at startup. Can try on some massive word lists…

    Ah. It isn’t visible – I just noticed the slider to show it! Don’t think we need it if we sort out options properly…

    hmm, I’ve missed something about the dictionary format. They are words in their own right and so seem to terminate the list. Will look into it by comparing preferexact.dict

    Is it ok for you as is for tomorrow?

    > RE dict – if it is quick, could be at startup. Can try on some massive word lists…

    preferexact.dict takes around 6 secs on a 3 yr old laptop. Might get slower depending on answer to above.

    Agreed,
    My problem with getting at options is could not get add menu to work, either manual code or use glade config file
