Which is the best livecode dictionary?
The new dictionary seems odd and slow to me, what do you think?

Why isn't there an option for tinyDict?

I loved the MetaCard Dictionary back in the day. Built from an import of the LC Dict contents, it stored everything in one tidy stack, making it enjoyable to maintain and super-fast to search.

In my humble opinion the defects of the new dictionary are:
- slow to open
- slow to search
- result in random order

Hi Max,
you are asking for the best GUI for the current LC dictionary data base.
Did you ever try tinyDict (load current from "Sample stacks")? You will use it all the time.
My vote is for tinyDict.
Though your fine approach (
http://livecode.wikia.com/ ) has advantages too: For real beginners this may be the best way to go.
