Thanks for your feedback- what sort of copy and paste support would you find most helpful? I added in a feature in version .9k where double clicking an entry will copy its Kanji to the clipboard. For entries in the Kanji dictionary (purple stripe), you can also double click them to see a window with detailed information including the Readings etc, and copy them from there as well.

The .9k will not install in 10.4.11 PPC.
Thanks.
I just tested out the PPC version (downloading & installing) and it seems alright on my test box (PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11) - what sort of error does it show for you when you try to install .9k?
(I included the + after .9k incase a newer version was released by the time the post was read, though currently the latest release is .9k).
Pardons the installation error,

It gives me the message saying it's not supported in this system. I can send you the screenshot if you can send me the email address at: mokintouch@gmail.com
Thanks.

I usually shoot for a new release about once a week to maintain momentum, though when users report a bug I'll generally release a fix within 24 hours- which resulted in the two versions in 2 days.

Looks good, in any case. I'm interested in the review aspect, as I can't see anything replacing JEDict as my main dictionary. But I'm preparing for JLPT 2 and it's gonna be tough, so everything helps.
For anyone learning kanji, I also strongly recommend this excellent site:
http://kanji.koohii.com/
It's centered around the Remembering the Kanji (James Heisig) method for learning kanji, which I also recommend.

Thanks for your feedback! I've made several updates to Kanji Go that ought to make it more useable. You can now edit/rearrange vocab words and lists, and set the size and colors used when creating flash cards.
If you think of any other features you'd like or encounter any bugs, just let me know.

Not only does it give exact information about a word, but it can also give related idioms.
I'm not sure of the source of the information, but it seems that it misses some honorific data, i.e., o-senbei, o-yu. Japanese can be used without the honorific prefixes, but it's important to use it.
One thing I noticed when I upgraded from .7d to .7e is that I lost my list, even though I had used the File->Save option. The data should be stored in the user's data area, not within the application itself.
Thank you your feedback! I've just released version .8 of Kanji Go, which now places its vocab lists in the user's Library/Application Support/Kanji Go folder, so vocab lists will be preserved across versions.
When upgrading from v.7.x to this one, I recommend using File>Export to save your current vocab lists, and then importing them into the new one.
If you have any other feedback, please let me know.

I've gone to other sites to try and download, but still get the same issues.
Which version of OS X and web browser are you trying to expand it with?
I tested the links on a MacBook running 10.4 and 10.5 (Safari/FireFox 3) and they decompressed correctly. I re-compressed the Intel version to see if that has any effect- you can nab it from here:
http://www.redkitsune.org/files/kgoIntelv9mv2.zip
Version .9m includes an additional dictionary file as well, so it uses 75 MB when decompressed. Let me know if you have any luck with the link above - if not, I'll keep digging to see if I can't reproduce the error.

Thanks for trying out that new link - and sorry for the weird dl bug! Try #2: I thought I'd change things up a bit, so instead of compressing it with OS X's built in Compress feature, I tried using a 3rd party compressor tool (BetterZip). If you have a chance, could you try the link below?
http://www.redkitsune.org/files/kgoIntelv9mv3.zip
Hm, I did some research, and others have run into similar problems as a result of intervening proxies/ISPs between their PC and the remote website. This link (same file) should isolate if that's the case (different hosting):
