Babylon discount
cyberdiva:
Thanks, Curt, for your response. Cacoder did say that he upgraded to version 9, not 8, for $35.50, but the link he provided seems to be for upgrades to version 8. That's why I asked the question.
I appreciate your suggestion about the auto-copy extension, but I assume it's only for text in Firefox, yes? Much of the stuff I read in Spanish is not in a browser, so I'm not sure how useful the extension would be for me.
I'd still love to know what advantages there would be in upgrading to Babylon 8 or 9 from version 6. Most of the extras they list as new features are of little interest to me.
Curt:
I don't remember any new features...
An application like Click Cutter is very useful, regarding auto-copy&paste. However, it has been several years, since I last tried it - I don't know if it will work on a 64-bits; it *looks* as if it hasn't been updated since XP.

Thanks, Curt. I've bookmarked Click Cutter and may give it a try, though I do worry about interference between it and other apps that monitor the clipboard, such as ClipMate and Surfulater. I guess I can try it and see.
Curt:
it doesn't monitor the clipboard, but the mouse!

I did upgrade to version 9, even though the upgrade page initially said version 8 upgrade. This was what I put in the cart: Babylon 9.0 - Upgrade Lifetime License
I found that mouse activation Ctrl-R Click stopped working in babylon a while ago. After I upgraded today, it has worked again in firefox 5.0.1, and somewhat in IE. Recognition used to work better though. The old interface was better; it was more light-weight and it showed all the dictionary icons in the definition window and I could click a dictionary icon to get at a dictionary easily. Now I have to scroll through the window to see all the dictionaries. So overall, it has been a downgrade, except to make mouse activation work again (less well than before nonetheless).
