Help with lyx personal dictionaries
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?
Regrads,
Andy

I had this problem with LyX 1.5.6 (without the roaming profile issue),
and I can't recall what the cause was, because there were a couple of
Aspell issues going on concurrently. One was whether Aspell (the copy
used by LyX) and its dictionaries were both installed the same way --
sometimes one is installed for a single user and the other for all
users, which is a different directory tree -- and the other was that I
had a full installation of Aspell left over from an earlier version of
LyX, and earlier versions required that it be installed in C:\Aspell.
What worked for me was to leave the full version in C:\Aspell alone, add
a subdirectory C:\Aspell\Personal, and in Tools Preferences...
Language Settings Spellchecker set the path to the personal dictionary
to C:\Aspell\Personal\en.pws.
