I just committed a new change that replaced the link to the bare HTML article with a full SilverDict web interface, and now when opened the new window is placed at the bottom right corner.

Thank you so much for working on this. I'm very sorry I never got back to you about in October; I had some personal issues. I am keen to test this functionality now! |

I am the developer of SilverDict, a web-based dictionary lookup tool that supports DSL, StarDict and MDict. Unlike GoldenDict, it exposes a lookup API (
/api/query/<Group name>/<word>) that could be easily integrated into other programs, including Diogenes.I have added a few lines in
server/Diogenes/Perseus.pmbeside the ones that create links pointing to the PDF Latin dictionaries. They create another link pointing tohttp://localhost:2628/api/query/Diogenes/$word, which when clicked, opens a pop-up window showing the definition. For this feature to work, users need to have a local SilverDict installation and create a dictionary group named 'Diogenes' with the languagesel, la, and add relevant dictionaries. This feature has been tested on Linux desktop (with and without electron) and Android.Edit: it might be better if the server address of SilverDict is configurable instead of hardcoded to localhost.
