How long have you waited?
IMHO the 'Open Dictionary' is so FUBAR'd, it's not funny. It can
take an age to find all the applications on your machine. I'd much
rather they gave you a regular Open File dialog and let you navigate
to the app you wanted. It's not like there's any advantage to the
current implementation - it still shows every app whether or not
that app has a dictionary, which would be about the only advantage I
can think of.
I also think it's FUBAR. I complained to Mark Aldritt about this in
Script Debugger and he's ditching it in the next release. It's one of
those things that sounds like a good idea, but in the implementation
it sucks. Much better would be the combination of a list of
"favourite" applications you could specify, and a normal open dialog
for anything that you didn't have in the list. The current
implementation is just stupid. With a boatload of script applications
on this Mac it just takes forever to open and scroll. Not well
thought out at all.
