Bug ID: 116393
Summary: persdict.dat format prevents cross-program sync; allow
multi-format compatibility
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.0.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: simonded...@gmail.com
Description:
LO dictionary format is word-per-line, alphabetical, trailing blank line, with
header:
OOoUserDict1
lang: <none>
type: positive
---
MS Word & Firefox are the same without the header i.e. just start with the
first word. This incompatibility prevents users from being able to use symlinks
to cross-sync dictionaries across OSs and programs (see
https://i.imgur.com/kVMXXs2.png for schematic diagram of issue).
I don't know what the function of the header is, presumably there is one else
it wouldn't be there, but would it be possible to allow LO to read/use
dictionary files in the more word list basic format, i.e. without the header?
I've asked how else to solve this problem
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/181003/sync-custom-dictionary-firefox-libreoffice-ubuntu-ms-office-in-windows)
and the only idea was running a sync server with custom templates.
Thanks for considering this.
