No, it doesn't *prevent* us (and I also didn't allege that is did), it's just one thing that must be fixed in case we change the path settings for dictionaries and so it is part of the problem why we didn't do the desired changes already. > Is this beacause a tool allowing end users installing dictionaries > prevents you doing anything under the hood (like the story of > suppressing some paths without asking before like it occured some > versions ago and was catastrophic regarding sharing templates) > > So please explain (on [EMAIL PROTECTED]) in what DicOOo prevents you > doing any changes ? The idea is to have a common path setting for all kinds of dictionaries and also to get rid of the dictionary.lst. AFAIK this would create a problem for DictOOo that needs to be fixed. Again: this does not prevent us from doing changes, it only explains why we didn't do the changes already. > Yes there are changes to be done and that not that simple.

I hope you understand the difference between doing something wrong (being at fault) or relying on something that is subject to change and so being part of the effort that is necessary to finally make the change (being part of the problem). I also wrote that you are committed to work with us to overcome the hurdle (as you already wrote that to me). But it's still a hurdle. We can't change the path settings for dictionaries without your support. That is one of the three explanations I gave why we didn't do it already in OOo2.1 where we changed all the other path settings. Does that explanation make things clearer?
