switching databases

Now that I’ve added preliminary Adso support, I needed to add an easy way to allow the user to switch databases. So I’ve added a database preference page that allows you to do just that. You do have to restart the app when you change, but hopefully it’s not something you do so often that it will become annoying. Currently, I’m thinking of packaging the adso dictionary as an optional download that a user can if they desire. And now switching to using it should be a piece of cake.

I’m also playing around with the hsqldb web server which could allow me to serve my chinese.script file over the web. This is especially useful in my case where you have multiple computers and don’t want to synchronize your category lists on each one. Performance is a little bit slower (of course), but it doesn’t seem too bad so far. I’ll play around with it some more.
