The idea is not completely new. The upcoming LyX 2.0 would not provide that feature and there is some discussion of the concrete solution needed. The biggest question I have is: do per document dictionary settings imply to store the dict words there too? For both answers - yes and no - I can find valid arguments. What do you think? BTW, the ability to control the location of the personal dictionary somehow is lost in LyX 2.0 - I see, it's a useful feature and I'll put it on my TODO list. Stephan
