Goner__ Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 First and formost, congratulations to the whole Affinity team for an excellent launch and a big thank you for providing us with such an excellent software suite! One issue that's been bugging me for some time and has not been resolved as far as I know: Hunspell hyphenation dictionaries are ignored when placed in the system Spelling folder, i.e /Users/Profile_Name]/Library/Spelling They are picked up only if placed DIRECTLY into the app package, i.e. /Applications/Affinity Publisher.app/Contents/Resources/Dictionaries Am I doing something wrong? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabari Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I made a similar post some time ago. That seemed to be the only way of using additional spelling and hyphenation dictionaries. A real nuisance every time the app got an update. Now I tried placing the hyphenation and spelling folders also in Library/Dictionaries Seems to work!

Staff Jon P Posted July 1, 2019 Staff Share Posted July 1, 2019 The hyphenation dictionary should just go alongside the other dictionaries, the naming structure should be like this: hyph_ru_RU.dic ru_RU.dic ru_RU.aff Quote Serif Europe Ltd. - www.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabari Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 And now, after a installing a new Mac mini, those places seemingly don't work. But putting the dictionaries also in [user]/Library/Spelling worked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
