------- Additional comments from espinosa...@openoffice.org Mon Aug 10 13:18:37 +0000 2009 ------- This is both DEFECT and a polite request for ENHANCEMENT. External dictionary directory is not settable. By external dictionary directory I mean Hunspell SpellChecker files directory – where is the dictionary.lst and all *.dic, *.idx and *.aff files for all relevant languages It should be settable by both UI and configuration file. In UI it should be in Options → Paths. There are already all kinds of paths so why not hunspell dictionary directory. Yes, I am aware of dictionaries installable as extension. However I consider it a fall back option only, for systems not providing a system wide spell checker. It is very stupid for every application to have its own dictionary as and extension. This stuff is for sharing. And there days spell checkers are considered a standard among all text processing interactive applications. And I'm very glad for that. Most linux distribution use OOo builds with pre-set shared external directories shared at least with Firefox. But potential is much greater. Unfortunately distributions can use different paths for shared directories. This was not unfortunately standardized yet. You cannot provide truly cross distribution linux build without enabling users to set the path. Novell: /usr/share/hunspell /usr/share/hyphen /usr/share/mythes Mandriva: /usr/share/dict/ooo I heard about build configuration options: --with-external-dict-dir --with-external-hyph-dir --with-external-thes-dir But where is the run time configurability!?
