Description Sindhu S 2013-03-06 15:18:08 UTC 
The --no-window option has not yet been implemented even though the option is documented in the man page.

When I run` gnome-dictionary --no-window --look-up hello`

I get the following:

** (gnome-dictionary:16752): CRITICAL **: Failed to parse argument: Unknown option --no-window
 
 Am running Dictionary from GIT master, compiled only recently.
Comment 1 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2013-03-06 15:56:17 UTC 
the command line parsing is a bit buggy: haven't been tested it lately.

the --no-window option is pretty complex to handle, and I'd rather we didn't have it at all; it should definitely not emit a critical.

I'll have a look at it.
Comment 2 Sindhu S 2013-03-16 16:48:52 UTC 
If you decide to not have it, please let me know so I can update the man page as am writing the help pages. 

Thank you.
