LiveDictionary loadable Apps
· Updated: · 1 min readIn my post about SpamDictionary, I mentioned LiveDictionarys capability to load into other applications than Safari, which is both useful and educating: It only depends on the App you load it in.
Over the past few days, I found myself constantly adding
LiveDictionary to Apps here and there. Besides the obvious
candidate, Mail.app
, I found LiveDictionary also
working in other apps.
More precisely, the following Apps I use support LiveDictionary to the extent that it becomes useful:
- Safari
- Mail.app
- iChat
- ecto (ex. Kung-Log)
- NetNewsWire
- Curio
- PulpFiction
- UniLingua
Update: LiveDictionary loads and works in PulpFiction as well. Cool! Update: I added UniLingua (A vocabulary learning software) to the list – because I can :)
In order to load LiveDictionary in these apps, you will have to
modify the Info.plist
of the
LiveDictInputManagerLoader.bundle
which is found in
the LiveDictInputManager.inputManager
that is
located in ~/Library/InputManagers
.
The following snippet of code lists the
LiveDictLoadableAppIDs
key that you will need to
use.
<key>LiveDictLoadableAppIDs</key><array> <string>com.apple.iChat</string> <string>com.zengobi.curio</string> <string>com.apple.Safari</string> <string>com.apple.mail</string> <string>kungfoo.tv.ecto</string> <string>com.ranchero.NetNewsWire</string> <string>com.milvich.michael.MenuSpell</string> <string>com.freshsqueeze.PulpFiction</string> <string>com.harderware.UniLingua</string></array>
If you know other Apps that will work with LiveDictionary enabled, post them in the comments.
