Dear Maintainer,
The man page says:
--extra-dicts=<list>
Extra dictionaries to use.
But it does not say what '<list>' mean. So let's say I have two extra
dictionaries I want to use: ~/dict1 and ~/dict2. I would try:
$ cd /tmp
$ (echo "personal_ws-1.1 en iso-8859-1"; echo "BadWord") >dict1
$ (echo "personal_ws-1.1 en iso-8859-1"; echo "BadToo") >dict2
$ echo "BadWord BadToo" >SpellMe
$ cat SpellMe | aspell -a --extra-dicts /tmp/dict1:/tmp/dict2
Error: The file "/tmp/dict1:/tmp/dict2" can not be opened for reading.
$ cat SpellMe | aspell -a --extra-dicts "/tmp/dict1 /tmp/dict2"
Error: The file "/tmp/dict1 /tmp/dict2" can not be opened for reading.
$ cat SpellMe | aspell -a --extra-dicts "/tmp/dict1;/tmp/dict2"
Error: The file "/tmp/dict1;/tmp/dict2" can not be opened for reading.
$ cat SpellMe | aspell -a --extra-dicts "/tmp/dict1,/tmp/dict2"
Error: The file "/tmp/dict1,/tmp/dict2" can not be opened for reading.
Note that using the --extra-dicts option twice does not work either because it
ignores all occurences but the last:
$ cat SpellMe | aspell -a --extra-dicts /tmp/dict1 --extra-dicts /tmp/dict2
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.7-20110707)
& BadWord 28 0: Bad Word, Bad-Word, Byword, Headword, Basswood, Backward,
Bodywork, Buzzword, Hardwood, Bowed, BadToo, Atwood, Edward, Beaded, Deadwood,
Bodied, Redwood, Shadowed, Boded, Widowed, Bindweed, Baited, Batted, Bedded,
Budded, Edwardo, Bentwood, Toward
*
'BadWord' is in dict1 so it should not have been reported.
The only thing that works is:
$ (echo "add /tmp/dict1"; echo "add /tmp/dict2") >dict.multi
$ cat SpellMe | aspell -a --extra-dicts /tmp/dict.multi
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.7-20110707)

However this is not how the --extra-dicts option works according to the manual
page. Furthermore, there is still the issue of aspell silently ignoring
duplicate --extra-dicts options instead of reporting a usage error.
