Dictionaries

Hi,
   in web dynpro, we can save data in Local Dictionary or not? if Yes, what's the mehod to follow?
    Please Reply

hi
The Dictionary is for defining data types (simple types and structures) and database objects (tables and indexes). These data types and structures can be used globally all over the application.
And i think we cannot save the data in the dictionary

How to update a large (over 4 million item) List(Of Byte) quickly by altering indexes contained in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) where the Dictionaries keys are the indexes in the List(Of Byte) that need to be changed to the values for those indexes?

   I'm having some difficulty with transferring images from a UDP Client to a UDP Server. The issue is receiving the bytes necessary to update an original image sent from the Client to the Server and updating the Servers List(Of Byte) with the
new bytes replacing bytes in that list. This is a simplex connection where the Sever receives and the Client sends to utilize the least amount of bandwidth for a "Remote Desktop" style application where the Server side needs image updates of whatever
occurs on the Client desktop.
   So far I can tranfer images with no issue. The images can be be any image type (.Bmp, .Gif, .JPeg, .Png, etc). I was working with sending .JPeg's as they appear to be the smallest size image when a Bitmap is saved to a memory stream as type
.JPeg. And then I am using GZip to compress that byte array again so it is much smaller. However on a loopback on my NIC the speed for sending a full size screen capture is not very fast as the Server updates fairly slowly unless the Clients screen capture
Bitmap is reduced in size to about 1/3'd of the original size. Then about 12000 bytes or less are sent for each update.
   Due to .JPeg compression I suppose there is no way to get the difference in bytes between two .JPegs and only send those when something occurs on the desktop that alters the desktop screen capture image. Therefore I went to using .Bmp's as each
.Bmp contains the same number of bytes in its array regardless of the image alterations on the desktop. So I suppose the difference in bytes from a second screen capture and an inital screen capture are what is different in the second image from the initial
image.
   What I have done so far is save an initial Bitmap of a screen capture using a memory stream and saving as type .Bmp which takes less than 93 milliseconds for 4196406 bytes. Compressing that takes less than 118 milliseconds to 197325 bytes for
the current windows on the desktop. When that is done PictureBox1 is updated from nothing to the captured image as the PictureBox's background image with image layout zoom and the PictureBox sized at 1/2 my screens width and 1/2 my screens height.
   Then I save a new Bitmap the same way which now contains different image information as the PictureBox is now displaying an image so its back color is no longer displayed (solid color Aqua) and the cursor has moved to a different location. The
second Bitmap is also 4196406 in bytes and compressed it was 315473 bytes in size.
   I also just found code from this link Converting a Bitmap to a Byte Array (and Byte Array to Bitmap) which gets a byte array
directly from a Bitmap and the size of that is 3148800 for whatever is full screen captured on my laptop. So I should be able to work with smaller byte arrays at some point.
   The issue I'm having is that once the Client sends an image of the desktop to the Server I only want to update the server with any differences occuring on the Clients desktop. So what I have done is compare the first screen captures bytes (stored
in a List(Of Byte)) to the second screen captures bytes (stored in a List(Of Byte)) by using a For/Next for 0 to 4196405 where if a byte in the first screen captures List is not equal to a byte in the second screen captures List I add the index and byte of
the second screen captures list to a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). The Dictionary then only contains the indexes and bytes that are different between the first screen capture and second screen capture. This takes about 125 milliseconds which I think is pretty
fast for 4196406 byte comparison using a For/Next and adding all the different bytes and indexes for each byte to a Dictionary.
    The difference in Bytes between the inital screen capture and the second screen capture is 242587 as an example which changes of course. For that amount of bytes the Dictionary contains 242587 integers as indexes and 242587 bytes as different
bytes totaling 485174 bytes for both arrays (keys, values). Compressed the indexes go from 242587 to 43489 bytes and the values go from 242587 to 34982 bytes. Which means I will have to send 78, 481 bytes from the Client to the Server to update the display
on the server. Quite smaller than the original 4196406 bytes of the second Bitmap saved to type .Bmp or the compressed size of that array which was 315473 bytes. Plus a few bytes I add as overhead so the server knows when an image array ends and how many packets
were sent for the array so it can discard complete arrays if necessary since UDP is lossfull although probably not so much in current networks like it may originally have been when the internet started.
    In reality the data from the Client to the Server will mostly be the cursor as it moves and updating the Server image with only a few hundred bytes I would imagine at a time. Or when the cursor selects a Button for example and the Buttons
color changes causing those differences in the original screen capture.
   But the problem is if I send the Dictionaries Indexes and Bytes to the Server then I need to update the original Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server by removing the Bytes in the received informations Index locations array from the Servers Bitmap
List(Of Byte) and replacing those Bytes with the Bytes in the received informations Byte array. This takes so long using a For/Next for however many indexes are in the received informations Index array to update the Bitmap List(Of Byte) on the server using
"Bmp1Bytes.RemoveAt(Index As Integer)" followed by "Bmp1Bytes.Insert(Index As Integer, Item As Byte)" in the For/Next.
    I've tried various For/Next statements including using a new List(Of Byte) with If statements so If the the integer for the For/Next ='s the Key in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) using a Counter to provide the Dictionaries Key value then
the Dictionaries byte value will be added to the List(Of Byte) and the counter will increas by one Else the List(Of Byte) adds the original "Bmp1Bytes" byte at that index to the new List(Of Byte). This takes forever also.
   I also tried the same For/Next adding to a new Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) but that takes forever too.
   I think I could use RemoveRange and AddRange to speed things up. But I don't know how to retrieve a contiguous range of indexes in the received indexes that need to be updated in the servers "Bmp1Bytes" List(Of Byte) from the received
array of indexes and bytes which are in a Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte). But I believe this would even be slower than some realistic method for replacing all Bytes in a List(Of Byte) when I have the indexes that need to be replaced and the bytes to replace
them with.
   Even if I just used AddRange on a new List(Of Byte) to add ranges of bytes from the original "Bmp1Bytes" and the changes from the Dictionary(Of Integer, Byte) I think this would be rather slow. Although I don't know how to do that
by getting contiguous ranges of indexes from the Dictionaries keys.
   So I was wondering if there is some method perhaps using Linq or IEnumerable which I've been unable to figure anything out which could do this.
   I do have some copy and pasted code which I don't understand how it works that I am using which I would guess could be altered for doing something like this but I can't find information that provides how the code works. Or even if I did
maybe I can't understand it. Like the code below which is extremely fast.
   Dim strArray() As String = Array.ConvertAll(Of Integer, String)(BmpComparisonDict.Keys.ToArray, Function(x) x.ToString())

Monkeyboy,
That was quite a bit to read, but still a bit unclear. Could you put a specific list of goals/questions, asked in the smallest possible form?
It seems like either you're making a program that monitors activity on your computer, or you're writing some kind of remote pc app.
When you do get your bytes from using lockbits, keep in mind all the files header info would be lost. I think retaining the header info is worth the extra bytes.
The other, thing: I'm not sure if you're taking 32bpp screen shots, but also keep in mind that the "whole desktop" is the final destination for blended graphics, if that makes sense. What I mean is that there is no need to capture an "alpha"
channel for a desktop screenshot, as alpha would always be 255, this could save you 1 byte per pixel captured... Theres nothing "behind" the desktop, therefore no alpha, and every window shown above the desktop is already blended. I suggest using
24Bpp for a full screen capture.
Your X,Y information for the mouse could be stored as UINT16, this would save you a measly 2 bytes per location update/save.
When you update your byte arrays, maybe you can turn the array into a stream and write to whatever index, however many bytes, that should prevent a "Shift" of bytes, and instead overwrite any bytes that "get in the way".
ex
Dim example As String = "This is an example."
Dim insertString As String = "was"
Dim insertBytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(insertString)
Dim bytes As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(example)
Dim modifiedBytes As Byte() = {}
Using ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(bytes)
ms.Position = 5
ms.Write(insertBytes, 0, 3)
modifiedBytes = ms.ToArray
End Using
Dim newString As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(modifiedBytes)
'Notice how below there isn't the word "is" anymore, and that there isn't a
'space.
'This demonstrates that you overwrite existing data, versus shifting everything to
'the right.
'Returns: This wasan example.

It would be handy to see what services are using a dictionary when you're considering changing the dictionary - to prevent loss of services. Occassionally changes are required and if you have a lot of services, it can get pretty difficult to manage.

There is a built in report in the reporting module called "Services By Dictionary" (Service Design Details group) that will give you what you're looking for. I agree though that it would be handy to have this built into Service Designer the same way it is for keywords, scripts, etc.

I can find no app on my Mac for accessing or activating any of these dictionaries, not even as Services. I especially wish to open the New Oxford American Dictionary. Instead, I have been using the WordBook app, which suffices, but I would like to know how to access or open all these built-in dictionaries, too.
If you know what to do, please let me know. Thanks!

Unless your install is botched and it has somehow gone missing, you should find Dictionary.app in Finder > Go > Applications, and you select which dictionaries to activate in its Preferences. The standard way to look up word is by Control clicking on a word and selecting Look Up xxxxx.
Let us know if this does not work for you.

Can't start FM 9 on Windows 7: "cannot initialize dictionaries"

I am trying to move a copy of FM 9 from an old laptop to a new one running Windows 7 Enterprise. My IT guy reinstalled the software from CD and applied my license key. When I try to start FM, it gives this error during the "Core" startup: "FrameMaker cannot initialize its dictionaries. Either the LanguageDir entry specified in the initialization file is missing or incorrect, or the files in the LanguageDir are missing or corrupted."
I still have the old laptop, so I can compare and copy the files and directories directly. As far as I can see, the LanguageDir entry in the maker.ini is identical on both machines. Both have a dict folder, and I see the same number of files in both. Just for good measure I copied the old folder's contents across to the new folder, but that didn't help.

Very good that you found the cause. I remember now that it was recommended to copy the installation files to your hard disk. See the FrameMaker online help:

English dictionaries in iBooks not available in russian interface

Hello!
I am using russian language interface on my iphone 4 and I often read books in english via iBooks, so I need to define words from time to time. Before updating to iOS 7 I haven't experienced any problems with that, but after update iBooks says it has no dictionaries. I know about the manage button and that I can download dictionaries I need (American english new oxford for example) - I did all that, but after closing app it resets those settings and when I open it again it says no dictionaries. I also tried:
-Updating to iOS 7.1
-Resetting phone settings
-Reinstalling iBooks
-Switching to english interface - which actually helped, but I want it to be working in russian interface too.
Is there anything left to try? Or I need to contact apple? How do I do that?
Thanks!
Dimitri.

How to edit custom and/or user dictionaries in OPPM v.9 (NOT P6)

Hi All:
Thanx, Sachim for your help on my earlier question.
Now that I have poked around a little more, I realized that I haven't seen anything about how to EDIT the dictionary files once created. The "organizational custom dictionary" text file could just be edited with any text editor, but what about the other available OPPM dictionaries?
I've also noticed that if a User adds a word, it goes into his/her personal dictionary. That means that its not available to other Users. How does one clean them up of accidentally (or unintentionally) added mis-spelled words? Every other application I've ever used with a spell checker has that function somewhere, but I can't see it in OPPM. It would be great to be able, as an Administrator, to be able to "harvest" those added words, to share with the other users.
Anyone have any info on these issues? Thanx in advance.

if you are using 12.1.3/4 then you can do using "Define Parameter" screen to create LOV and attach to integrator.

Some built-in dictionaries not working after upgrading to iOS 8

I've have just upgraded to iOS 8 on my iPad. After upgrading, I discovered that some of the built-in dictionaries that I have been using previously are not working. These are:
German
Japanese-English
Simplified Chinese
Simplified Chinese-English
In the dialog window that appeared when I tapped on the "Manage" button, the icons besides these dictionaries show a "circle" instead of the "cloud (with download arrow". There was no response when I tapped on each of the circle icon.
Would greatly any kind advice.
Thank you.

I Too have an iPad mini, dictionary works for me, using wifi. However, it uses an American dictionary, which is frustrating...I'm in Australia and many words have different meanings in differnt countries gggrrrrrr

Dictionaries in staroffice 8

Hi,
I would like to add Greek support for spelling in staroffice 8 and although i followed the instructions i found i can't.To be more specific ...
I found the following info, how to add dictionaries
Please make sure that StarOffice is not running (including the quickstarter) when installing the modules. In order to provide the additional StarOffice language modules, you will have to copy all files from the subdirectory of the desired language (e.g., ".../addon/dict/polish") from the StarOffice CD ROM into the ".../share/dict/" directory of the StarOffice Installation.
After copying the files for the appropriate language module, load StarOffice and open the menu "Tools - Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids". Under the "Available Writing Aids" category, click the field in front of the "StarOffice (Default)" entry to remove the check mark. Next, re-click this field so that the check mark reappears. This action prompts StarOffice to create a new list of available language modules within the program.
To check which language modules are active, choose [Edit]. The "Edit Modules" dialog will now appear. In this dialog, you will be able to view all active language modules under "Language". Click [Close] to close the "Edit Modules" dialog. Close the "Options" dialog with [OK].
The newly installed language module(s) will be automatically available for the Spellcheck function after completing these steps.
but when i reclick the checkbox near to StarOffice so the mark reappears nothing happens,so i can't build a new language module.
Does any one know how to do it ?
P.S.
I have copied the greek files from addon/greek to share/disc from staroffice 6 because icould not find the greek support dictionaries for staroffice 8
thank you

Hi Phil,
Thanks for replying.
I have installed SO8 and updated it with update 3 rev 2 in /usr/local/src/StarOffice8.0
I have downloaded the macro and opened it with SO8.The macro run OK, it downloaded el_GR.zip and hyph_el_GR.zip in /usr/local/src/StarOffice8.0/share/dict/ooo and extracted and make the following files in the same directory.
dictionary.lst
dictionary.lst.1st
dictionary.lst.old
el_GR.aff
el_GR.dic
el_GR.zip
hyph_el_GR.dic
hyph_el_GR.zip
README_el_GR.txt
README_hyph_el_GR.txt
After that i closed SO8 and reopened it.Then i went to TOOLS->OPTIONS->LANGUAGE SETTINGS->WRITING AIDS
there is a section AVAILABLE LANGUAGE MODULES,under it it has the only checkbox that it is checked and it says StarOffice,at the right side i click Edit... and i expect to find the Greek Language but i can not.Also when i click the checkbox StarOffice so the check disappears and then recheck it so it http://www.visionwebhosting.net appears, nothing happens (acording to the info i found, this action prompts StarOffice to create a new list of available language modules within the program)
When you said that SO8 can use MySpell dictionaries,is there something else i have to do ? Maybe i did not understand something well ?
thanks again
Apostolis
I have same problem.

HIGHLIGHTING WORDS AND DICTIONARIES SUPPORT - Search and highlight words in the PDF documents

One of the things that Adobe people don't understand very well, is they focus and focus and focus constantly in adding new "cool" features to the product... as more flash support... etc. etc.
But Adobe still pending to make easier the life of people that work with tons and literally tons of PDF documents.
Students, researchers, law professors, academics... they all need a solution to search and highlight in different colors, for certain words in a lot of documents.
So here we have a challenge for the Adobe folks.
Let's imagine you are working in a Law Office, ok? (you're lawyer, not programmer)
You have a trial tomorrow...
The trial is about robbery (for example)
Now you are looking for Jurisprudence (other similar cases that were judged before)...
And let's imagine you have a folder with 200 cases in 200 PDF files, talking about robbery, between the years 2005-2009
Now, let's imagine you are interested to search the words:
CONVICTION
KIDNAPPING
ASSAULT
FAILURE
CRIME
SUBPOENA
How do you do that Adobe folks?
Reading the 200 documents? one by one, having to drink all the ink of the documents, line by line...
Or, could you, please, allow Adobe Acrobat 10 can handle dictionaries of words, and allow the users, to search and highlight those words in folder of PDF documents.
Of course!!! you'll tell me, oh, you can accomplish a search of the desired words and Acrobat will search them for you in a lot of documents in a folder...
And I'll reply you! oh! that is not enough!
And do you know why?
Just simpley because I need to see all the information highlighted in a context...
If I see the word CRIME in red close to FAILURE... also in red I can see that something wrong is happening with that trial, for example...
Do you understand now that searching single words in a lot of documents is not enough, and you have to improve URGENTLY this feature?
Highlighting the words the users need to search in a folder of documents, allow INTENSIVE RESEARCH AND SAVE HOURS AND DAYS AND EVEN MONTHS OF HARD WORK TO THE USERS.
In that way, you don't have to read the whole document, you just go directly to the highlighted parts.
I've been submitting this feature since Adobe Acrobat 6!!!! No one in Adobe listened to me!!!
I sincerely don't know why these forums are opened, must be an idea of someone from marketing, because finally, Adobe don't implement any specification from the users.
I am absolutely sure, Adobe folks will present the 10 version as something pretty cool, with more flash support and more graphic stuff.
But, as always, withouth helping the real people that work extensively with large amounts of documents.
So I hope, Sirs, Madams of Adobe, please, now yes, you give support to this feature once and for all !!!
Thanks

Adobe does listen to users, but it listens to 10 users more frequently than 1 user. It listens to 1000 users more frequently than 10. Get everyone you know that works for lawyers to post the request in the Adobe wish form (where Adobe tabulates user requests).
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Then maybe it will appear in Acrobat 11. If it is not in Acrobat 10 by now it is probably too late in the upgrade cycle for it to get in.

How to create custom dictionaries in Adobe Reader

I am trying to create a custom dictionary and use it in Adobe Reader.
I found some information in a blog about the custom dictionary that is created and stored in the following location "C:\Users\PIN\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary\all\added.clam" and called added.clam.
I am not sure if there is a way to edit the CLAM file or create a new one from scratch.
When downloading the dictionary pack for multiple languages, is it one file or can one take one of them and modify it with a set of one’s own word and in-house acronyms so that it can be distributed to our in-house users.

Thanks Pat.
I want to create a custom dictionary that will support all our users when they access the “forms document” through Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
The issues I am having is file names and location of the files.
The default dictionary name under Custom Dictionaries has a .clam extension.
Is there a way to edit this"?"
Does it contain the index settings for all the other added.txt and excluded.txt dictionary files"?"
The default location is under a user’s C:\Users\PIN\ AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary.
This is buried under the users profile and we need to be able to update these files on all the users workstations prior to log on.
This could be done by redirection of the new custom dictionary. What is the location of that setting in the registry"?"
Is there is a way to append to the dictionary file so I do not come along an replace any setting that a user may have made to the dictionary"?"
This would be done to the .clam or .txt file outside of the Adobe Reader application.
What is the “All” setting in the dictionary"?"
Does that imply the program will look through all the dictionaries.
I am not finding a way to create a new dictionary name that would appear under the preferences\spelling\dictionaries list. Is there an Index file that would point to a newly created Dictionary folder"?"
Being able to create a new entry and have it checked, and then directed to a new location, would allow the original dictionaries to work as is and also connect to this newly created and selected dictionary.
This would alleviate some of the challenges mentioned above.
Is there a way to configure this with the Adobe Customization wizard"?"
I do not see the feature.

Dictionaries in other languages and translators

Is Apple planning to make dictionaries in other languages available for iBooks? I think it would be a great way to practice reading in other languages! Either an ordinary dictionary in say, French, or a French to English translation dictionary. That would make me very happy.
And the ability to turn the background black for night reading

I'll have a French dictionary ready in a few days if anyone wants to beta test it.
Assume that is for OS X? I'd be interested (tom at bluesky dot org).
No, for the iPad/iPhone. I need to fix one last transition bug, build an icon, and I'm done.
I've had a MacOS X version for a long time: http://etresoft.com/etreref.html
(Note: “I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.” ) The MacOS X dictionaries are free, but there is other stuff there too.
The iPad dictionary will be an expanded version of my Dictionnaire de l'Académie Française 1935. I've improved my cleanup and re-added words removed since the 1835 edition.

Built-in Foreign Dictionaries

Hi all,
I have a number of ebooks and pdfs in non-English languages (primarily Spanish, French, and German) that I would like to read on my iPad 3 for my dissertation research. Does anyone know of a good app that has built-in dictionaries for these languages and will let me read pdfs? Ideally, I'd like to be able to tap on a word and have the dictionary function come up. I've tried a few apps, but none seem to work really well with pdfs. Reading and translating pdfs are the main reasons I got the iPad, so I really hope there's a good app for this out there!
Thanks!

Many people have reported this, so I think it is a bug that needs fixing by Apple. Let them know via

Word of the Day Screensaver -- using non-English dictionaries

As I'm studying German, I'd like to use an alternate dictionary with the "Word of the Day" screensaver. I've already installed the German dictionary, but it doesn't show up as an option.
Is there a way to do this?
As a side note, I'm disappointed with Apple in making it so hard to install custom dictionaries. OS X installs dozens of languages by default (which I don't want or need) but only the English and Chinese dictionaries.
Wouldn't it make sense to choose what languages one uses during installation and have everything for those languages installed automatically?

I'm disappointed with Apple

I have installed two dictionaries. I want to delete one of them. How can I do this?

I have found instructions for deleting words from the dictionaries, but not an entire dictionary.
I have installed the ''English (US)'' dictionary and the ''English (British)'' dictionary.
I want to only see the ''English (British)'' dictionary when I right click on the word.
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ Here] is the link to the dictionaries.

You can find installed dictionaries under the extensions.<br />
