I changed the Requires line in the binary RPM distributed here from

libz.so.1

zlib

using

rpmrebuild -enp

(thank you internet!) and it appears to fix the issue on aarch64 without any regressions compared to the 32-bit version.

"Nothing provides libz.so.1' issue for aarch64 but there is already in system /usr/lib64/libz.so.1.

That is unexpected. Still, I cannot debug this because I don't have a 64bit device running SFOS. I suggest you report this bug upstream, here: https://github.com/Wunderfitz/harbour-wunderfitz Maybe it is even already fixed there. My changes in this fork are still waiting to be reviewed and merged.

Importing Downloads/dict.zip-Files not working. Corresponding button broke down. (Xperia X 4.4.0.58)

As with other bugs, I suggest you report this bug upstream, here: https://github.com/Wunderfitz/harbour-wunderfitz Maybe it is even already fixed there. My changes in this fork are still waiting to be reviewed and merged.

Hey, are there plans für a 64Bit version ? That would be nice.

Sun, 2022/04/03 - 22:15

A new 64bit build has been added but it apparently has some bugs.

Mon, 2022/01/24 - 14:01

It only requires recompiling; sources are available.

As I still hope my changes get merged back upstream one day, I don't plan to update this page anymore.

Please read again about Wagnis. It doesn't call home, it just verifies that you bought the app noting more than that.

Thu, 2019/09/05 - 11:43

Well, it does so by calling home. Yes, it's not meant to track you and it doesn't send much more than an unique id of your device/installtion. I still like it more when the things on my phone are as "silent" as possible.

Thu, 2019/09/05 - 12:17

Once you have registered, there is no "calling-home" anymore. The registration/contribution validation is done offline using a signature verification.

Thu, 2019/09/05 - 12:23

Oh, then I must have mis-read the code. Or did you maybe change that recently?

Thu, 2019/09/05 - 13:16

No changes since more than a year, you can easily check the code. ;) Moreover, @Nokius already mentioned in another comment that he was able to use the software without any internet connection. And the offline validation was there since the beginning - I invested actually quite some effort to make this happen as I wanted to make this as less intrusive as possible. Online validation would have been much easier...

I never had any issue with Wunderfitz while beeing in Flight Mode, just returnded from a two weeks Africa trip using Wunderfitz without any network conection.

Well, as you know the code, the Cloud/OCR stuff is only activated if the user consents. And if you object Wagnis, that's also fine, but please be honest and precise then. Looking up stuff in Wunderfitz is 100% offline. Thanks already in advance!

Moreover, please provide proper attribution to my code, especially mention my copyright in the application (e.g. in About) and reference my repo, thanks!

And one last thing: Consider changing your icon. This one is probably copyrighted by Paul Hemetsberger (dict.cc).

Wed, 2019/09/04 - 13:12

Cloud: true, but I didn't intend to use it and didn't want to have it in there for myself, so I removed it completely.

Wagnis: no need to be rude. True, I don't like apps on my phone "calling home" every time I start them, plus it needs network volume. But no, it wasn't the only reason for the fork.

Thank you for the heads-up, I thought I had added both links on the about page. I changed it with new new update.

I also changed the icon as it was intentionally quite similar to dict.cc's logo but yes, maybe something different is better.

As to the attribution/copyright: of course I let all copyright headers intact and of course I updated the readme. I don't want to steal your work, I just want to make my own changes and make the available as an alternative.

Wed, 2019/09/04 - 13:53

It's not (only) about the links or the copyright notices in the source code, it's the respective copyright notice and author attribution in the app itself (which is AFAIK mandatory for GPL-licensed software).

Even if not, I consider it quite rude to remove only my name as the original author from the app and leave e.g. the translators and used libs (including their authors) there. It's perfectly fine that your forked the app, it's OSS. But also with OSS there are ceratin rules and I only ask you to play according to them.

We're a small community and we all depend on each other. Probably some kind of collaboration might be more beneficial. ;)

Wed, 2019/09/04 - 14:25

Sorry, it wasn't my intention to remove you from your app! I read the list on the bottom as a list of contributors (not only translation-wise) and wanted to move your name to this list. (Which I forgot in the first release yesterday but fixed today. I'm sorry for that.)

Of course collaboration is best, but we are developing the app in a bit different directions. So I'd like to leave my fork as it is now, and of course I'll contribute changes that are compatible back upstream. That goes without saying. :)

Wed, 2019/09/04 - 15:03

How would you know if you haven't talked to me before? ;)

Anyway, I wish you all the best. Have fun!

Wed, 2019/09/04 - 19:05

Well, so far I've only killed a few of your features ;). But thanks, you too!

Any reason for the fork except no Wagnis? I think an option to disable the Could related functionality would have been enough.

Wed, 2019/09/04 - 13:14

So far, the only changes are that I removed all Internet-related stuff and made a new icon. (I didn't like the original blue one, personally.) I have quite some ideas for other things, though, which I plan to implement if I find the time for it.
