LiveDictionary loadable Apps
· 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.
