If you have comments specific to developing the product or want to report bugs, contact the developer directly - don't comment here and expect the developer to sit watching this page forrandom comments. That's not the point of macupdate.

Besides, the developers at Mindre Panda are of course also directly mailed about these requests. And thanks to the post here at Macupdate they don't have to recieve one hundred suggestions about the same features every day, because readers of this review will know that this has been discussed already. Instead, new readers will be able to add there ideas and comments to the list, which would not have been possible if it was only mailed to the developers.
Neil_m, if you don't like the feature requests mixed with the other review topics, I suggest you just don't look at them.

Suggestions for improvement:
1) On the flip-side of the widget, only the actual checkboxes are active. The typical Mac behavior allows also the labels to be clicked.
2) You have to press return after each search term is entered. It should be enough to just exit the search-term field (e.g. tabbing or selecting the popup).
3) Text in the hitlist cannot be selected, and therefore not copied. The I-beam cursor is there, but it doesn't select anything. Instead it moves the window, which is really awkward and non-Mac:ish.
4) The feature list could be expanded to also include a Swedish-Swedish and English-English choice in the popup. This could be used to display word-class information for the search term in the original language, and possibly also supply synonyms.
5) There are a couple of text parts that include mal-formated characters. Actually, the very first search term I tried was the word "perform". The result contained a whole bunch of "%%" sequences without any obvious meaning.
6) Since this widget accesses a web server to find the words in the dictionary, it would have been really nice to get some feedback when it is buzy waiting for server response. A common spinning beach-ball or sun cursor would be enough.
7) Every hitlist term is followed by a numbered list of definitions. It is totally unnecessary to write the text "1. " for every single line which contains only a single entry. This is definately a minor detail, but when I browsed through the text it resulted oftenly in unnecessary scrolling up and down looking for a second entry which wasn't there.
Over-all however, a great little widget!
