Sometimes it's useful to restrict a query to a subset of the available databases, for example all english-german dictionaries. This is achieved by defining “database sets”. These sets appear in the database selector as virtual databases.
You can access the configuration dialog via -> or the toolbar icon.
The database set editor.
The dialog has the following elements:
You must use this selector to select the set you want to modify. You can also rename a set here by entering a new name and pressing the button.
Saves changes you made in the current set. You must use this button before you select another set or leave the dialog, because otherwise all changes will be lost.
This button creates a new database set.
Deletes the currently selected set.
Closes the dialog without saving your changes.
The two lists (Selected Databases and Available Databases) show which databases are currently in the database set. You can use the arrow buttons between the lists to transfer items from one list to another.
By the way, you can leave this configuration dialog open and continue your work with KDict. This is a nice way to test your changes immediately.
