Notes:
1. Look up multiple dictionaries at the same time is implmented by setting the dictionary group to "Union" in "Library management"
2. Because lookup multiple dictionary in the same time, so if there too many dictionaries in the same "Union" group, it may slow down the lookup speed.And Fuzzy keyword search/Full Text search are not supported in "Union" group. And you can't scroll the entry list in too.
2. If you set the background color, the screen may blink when displaying contents, no solution by far.

Tips:
1. Create a sub-directory "Library" under MDict program directory, and put all your dictionary files into it with sub-directory as grouping. MDict will auto import this directory during startup when library list is empty.
2. If you have audio library, you may name it "Sound.mdd" and put it in the "Library" sub-directory. MDict will use it automatically.
