Hyphenation not recognized after AP update

Recommended Posts

Hello,

After updating to 1.8.4 I am unable to select Czech hyphenation from the drop down. It is installed properly in the /Library/Spelling directory and worked fine before. I can use hyphenation in other applications such as Pages without any issues.

If I open a document where the hyphenation was previously enabled, it's shown as unknown: https://jmp.sh/uKB9exw

When I create a new document, the option is missing completely: https://jmp.sh/kjIXKWt

You can get the spell check and hyphenation files for example from here

Thanks!

Petr

Try this :

  • Go to Macintosh HD\Users\{username}\Library\Containers\
  • rename the 'com.seriflabs.affinityPublisher' folder to 'com.seriflabs.affinityPublisher.old'
  • Start Publisher
  • This will have reset all of your settings so please note all of your assets, brushes, etc will not be there. Currently these are stored in the renamed folder so we can look at getting them back if this works for you. If Publisher now sees the dictionary, could you zip up and attach a copy of the 'com.seriflabs.affinityPublisher.old' folder please?

Hi Gabe,

I tried to rename the folder to reset all the settings, but the hyphenation is still not available. When I look in the 'com.seriflabs.affinityPublisher.old' directory, I can see the hyphenation dictionary is listed there: https://jmp.sh/UJKldld.

It is also listed in the newly created 'com.seriflabs.affinityPublisher' directory: https://jmp.sh/FsHtJxV

Cheers,

Petr

Just to double check. Where exactly do you install the dictionary? The /Users/{username}/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinitypublisher/Data/Library/Spelling should only be an alias. The correct location for dictionaries is in /Users/{username}/Library/Spelling

Hello Gabe,

Thanks for sharing the screen. Previously I stored the Czech dictionary and hyphenation files directly in the /Spelling directory. It worked fine before but after the AP update it stopped. When I tried to copy the files under the /cs_CZ subdirectory as it's shown in your video, it worked fine.

Thanks a lot for your help, the issue is resolved now.

In fact when the files are in the /cs_CZ subfolder, the spelling and hyphenation is not recognized by the macOS system in the Settings / Keyboard preferences (it should show "Čeština (Knihovna)" which means "Czech (Library)"). When I copy them directly to /Spelling directory, I can see the option in the Keyboard preferences: https://jmp.sh/ISAHs41

So now I stored the files in both /Spelling and /Spelling/cs_CZ directories and it works in both AP and macOS system.

Thanks

Petr
