Installing/running the spell checker

[robert7]

I think this doesn't work yet in v2.1. I did not tried spellcheck so far, but I think there are some hardcoded paths and it will need minor adjustments.
I will need to check.

Hi Robert, thanks. Let me know if you need it tested.

The spellchecking should now work (from version 2.1.0-beta4g). You can try it now using "development" version of AppImage.
I needed to rewrite quite lot of the code, I don't believe this could previously work on anything else then the original developer machine :) ..the spellchecker is now embedded, as the plugin version was just kind of useless difficulty.

There still may be issues, as the actual implementation is quite simple, but it should be usable. Pls test it and let me know about any issues (in case you are using the PPA version, its ok for you to download the AppImage - just quit the Ubuntu PPA version, download AppImage build, mark as executable and run .. after you finish testing, you can return to the PPA version).

Hi @robert7

That works. When I first ran the embedded spellcheck in 2.1.0-beta4g, I got a 'hunspell missing or no dictionary' error. Turns out I had an empty Language (Edit/Preferences/Locale). Set to English US and the spell checker worked as before.

semi-n00b Q: How will I know when the PPA version has this fix in it?

Thank you!

How will I know when the PPA version has this fix in it?

I described the "current pipeline.."... but basically it happens short after the "develop" branch is merged to "master".

The merge develop to master can take some time - see the linked wiki article - its no problem to combine the PPA version with the AppImage - so either you can wait until the merge happens or temporarily you may switch to the AppImage build.

When I first ran the embedded spellcheck in 2.1.0-beta4g, I got a 'hunspell missing or no dictionary' error. Turns out I had an empty Language (Edit/Preferences/Locale)

This is a bug - there is afallback... but I see, it did not worked as I intended - so I'll fix it.

@artmg thanks. So far the PPA works fine. I already activated the automatic build after commit in the "master" branch... so today I merged "develop" to master, let see tomorrow if there is new pkg in the PPA :)

The missing fallback problem is now fixed. it would be nice, if you can retest, if it now works regardless on how you have Preferences set. To simulate missing language you could delete it manually in the "conf" file see screenshoot. (Make a backup before)

"nixnote-2.conf" is for the 2nd account
