Description Pavol Klačanský 2012-11-06 12:56:21 UTC 
Hi, it is really hard to use it over command line if you do not know name of strategy/database/source
Comment 1 Sindhu S 2012-11-19 14:05:14 UTC 
Hi! I am on Ubuntu 11.04 current and when I run " gnome-dictionary --list-sources" in command line/terminal. It opens up Gnome-dictionary with view of available dictionary sources. 

What exactly are you trying to do via the terminal? Kindly elaborate. :-)
Comment 2 Pavol Klačanský 2012-11-19 17:17:34 UTC 
there is no such a thing in version 3.6

So, if I want to use this program via command line, I cannot possibly have a clue about all strategies,databases and source.

It would really help, if I can list them and then pick (not that I am using this program, I just think it is neccesary).

Cheers

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version of gnome-dictionary, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-dictionary/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
