RE: Dictionaries
Good to know, Mike. Thanks. So far I've only used one version that uses the new location, and since we only make limited use of user dictionaries in our FrameMaker docs I hadn't noticed the change. But now I know to watch out if/when I upgrade to a newer version. -Fred Ridder > Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 21:43:56 -0500 > From: i...@mikewickham.com > To: framers@lists.frameusers.com > Subject: Re: Dictionaries > > FrameMaker changed dictionary locations as of version 9.

Re: Dictionaries
Well, since FM9 default location for dictionaries is C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\UserDictionaries. This is used for FM9, FM10 and FM11, without specifying the FM version.

Re: Dictionaries
FrameMaker changed dictionary locations as of version 9. It now saves them at the common location of C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\FMUserDictionary\all\added.txt. I'm using FM 10, so assume FM 11 is the same. There is no version structure showing on my computer. I don't believe FM 10 overwrote my FM9 dictionary way back when, but can't remember. If FM 11 is doing it, it needs to be reported as a bug. As a side note, even though the new dictionary is a .txt file, care is necessary if you try to edit it directly. I messed mine up one time, when I edited the file and the editor saved it with carriage return and linefeed (CR LF) line endings. This caused failure as FM expects this file to have LFs only! I was able to use Notepad++ to find the problem and fix it. There was a need to convert dictionaries from FM8 to FM9 when the location/format change happened.

RE: Dictionaries
Every FrameMaker installer I have used (from 5.5.6 through 9 so far) has always installed all the files in a separate, version-specific folder within the Program Files folder. I have never had a problem having two or even three different versions installed simultaneously using the default installs. Did you uninstall FM9 before installing FM11? Were your user directories saved within the FM9 install directory? If so, the install directory and any custom files within it should have remained exactly where they were as its own branch of your directory tree. Did you use a non-default installation directory for either the FM9 or FM11 installation? I can only see a potential problem if you used the same directory name for both installations and did not use non-default names for your user dictionaries. Are you sure the dictionaries are really gone, and not just in a different directory than where the newly installed FM11 expects to find them? -Fred Ridder From: w...@idtp.eu Subject: Dictionaries Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 23:46:25 +0200 To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Hi, We noticed that installing FM11 overwrites user dictionaries that were created in FM9. I'd expect that a new installation of FM would keep existing dictionaries. Anyone else experienced this?
