How to add .bgl to GoldenDICT

Question

I am trying to add a glossary to my goldendict. First I opened the .bgl's containing file which in this case was a .exe one and extracted the files. Then I used chmod to change their permissions to 777. And now that I press F3 to go to the stage of adding the glossary, the file is shown as inactive and I can not even click on it. what can be the problem? Could you help me fix this? Thank you in advance.

Here are the steps to follow along sequentially:

• Open GoldenDict.
• Hit F3 to open the Dictionaries window.
• Under Sources -> Files tab hit the Add... button from the right navigation pan. It will open a window named Choose a directory.
• Go on browsing until you click on the folder containing the dictionary file(s) like .bgl, .dict etc.
• Now hit Open button from the bottom part of the current window. This will take you back to the Dictionaries window that was previously opened by hitting F3. Now, you can see the path of the folder you had just browsed to, in the box left to the right navigation pan.
• Now hit Rescan now button from the right navigation pan. Wait until the scanning is complete.
• Now hit Apply, then OK.

We are nicely done. Cheers...
