When importing a word, the add-on visualizes a series of definitions from different dictionaries, for example Cambridge American English Dictionary, Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary – Thesaurus and Cambridge Business English Dictionary.

Would be nice to limit the visualised list of definitions to a select list of dictionaries.

Hi
I'm really glad that someone has an interest to this addon.
I haven't known how many dictionaries Cambridge had. Probably, it would be nice to have some sort of update button on Settings windows to fetch all available.

Hello,
First, thank you for the add-on!

A solution can be a list of dictionaries to exclude, where the list is configurable by the user in the settings.
The list can be fetched by the add-on from https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/
The user selects the dictionaries to exclude via checkboxes.

If a new dictionary is published, it will appear in the import dialog. To “fix” the issue, the user can go to the settings and update the list of excluded dictionaries.
If a dictionary changes name, again it will appear in the import dialog and the user can update the list in the settings.
