Just purchased this product and the add on library. Is there a user manual yet. I'm not sure it's installed correctly and I'm not sure how to access its advertised features.

Thank you for your follow up. Everything is now working perfectly.

For those buying this product a couple of suggestions:

One of the things to keep in mind is that the picture add on feature is separate from the Nexus Pix illustration package available through the affiliate link on http://www.pocketsensei.com/n_downloads.htm

It took me a while to realize that once the package was installed and properly configured that it would automatically be recognized in the Nexus Super Dictionary program.

The Picture add-on feature allows you to add additional JPG pictures of your own. A little confusing at first but if you read the manual eventually you will get there.

Another area is that if you buy the additional reference DEX package at the same time, it is not necessary to install the standard dictionary (Standard.pdb) as those words are included automatically in the DEX add-on package. Just install the DEX. The instructions also indicate this as well but what I found is that installing both at the same time (Standard & DEX) the program seemed to only recognize the standard package. Uninstalling and re-installing corrected the problem.

This is one of the most extensive dictionary programs I have found and has words not found in other similar packages I.E. (Praxis) I am impressed.

To enjoy the real benefit and power of this program I definitely recommend that you buy the Dex add on and the Nexus Pix illustration packages together; they are cheap and you will not be dissapointed.

Finally, another good reason to read the manual and goe to the Pocketsensi website is that the program has benn updated several times since the handango down-load version 1.30. It is now up to version 1.5.1 and the Dex.pdb file is periodically updated with new words. All free to subscibers.

Great deal!!

Hi wlhughes,
I've scoured the net for this pack version and the only place I've found them is on here. Since you've downloaded the Pix Pack, could you please upload them to rapidshare or something for me and send me a link because I want to try out the images first to see if I need them. I am a student and constantly looking up new words to expand my vocabulary and so I thought this pack would help my English very much by illustrating words which I have never hear of before.
I thank you in advance for your community spirit and extreme generosity. :):up:
