This is a companion extension for the Easydict desktop app (free, open-source, GPL-3.0, available on Microsoft Store). It adds a right-click context menu item that triggers OCR screen capture in the desktop app via Native Messaging.
Changes from 1.0.0: - Added a setup guidance page (setup.html) that opens when native messaging fails (e.g., desktop app not installed or not running). Previously, the error was only logged to console.error with no user feedback. - The setup page guides the user to install the desktop app from the Microsoft Store and enable browser support. It includes a Retry button to re-test connectivity. - Rate limiting prevents the setup page from opening repeatedly on rapid clicks (10s cooldown). - Added i18n strings for the setup page (English + Simplified Chinese).
Note: This extension requires a native messaging host registered by the Easydict desktop app. Without it, clicking the context menu item will open the setup page โ this is the intended behavior for first-time users who haven't completed setup. The extension does not auto-open any pages on install; the setup page only appears in response to a user-initiated action (context menu click) that fails.
