Hi all I have been starting out with LyX and I'm having trouble with the personal dictionary settings. Basically, whenever I tell the dictionary to add a new word (eg 'dopant') it remembers the word for the duration of that spellcheck, but silently fails to add the word to the personal dictionary file, so the word never gets remembered later.
I am using the LyXWinInstaller version of LyX 1.5.6, and the Preferences box shows that I am using the aspell ('library') version. I have specified a file path for my personal dictionary, but the file remains empty. I have installed the aspell6-en-6.0-0 and aspell6-uk-1.4.0-0 dictionary files, and these have sent files to ApplicationData in my profile. I am set up using a roaming profile, but I have set LyX to save documents and my personal dictionary to a folder in my (out-of-profile) C:\ directory. Any tips on how to debug this problem? Can I do something to make LyX tell me when it's failed to save my personal dictionary, and why it might have failed?
