The need for a tutorial is a defacto bug report. Fact: A work around is not a solution, nor is a tutorial. You can't convince me that the total effort required to make a truly functional free and actually open spellchecking solution is greater than the total effort expended by everyone who has ever fought with aspell plus the total time lost due to spelling errors or other work arounds, such as pasting into OO and then back. They fix thier own setup, maybe if we're lucky write a halfway working and understandable tutorial, and consider the matter closed. Why did we ever, as a community, tolerate this madness? Simple laziness. Stuff like this is the biggest enemy of open source since the RIAA. I did all the above, and now what happens is I get both the spellcheck window and the "how to use spellchecker" window, and since it cannot tolerate a theft of focus, in effect I still dont get the spell check window. Any idea when this spellechk(smirk) madness will be gotten in hand now that there is clearly an open disctonary? Given open office's and firefox 3's ability to spellcheck. Since this ancient thread is the primary search result from both, I'd like to request an update. I haven't checked yet to see if Pidgin has a similar mechanism to reference a common portable install of Aspell. Perhaps the config could even make it into the Notepad++ Portable v4.3 installer. I have not yet tested with Notepad++ v4.3, but the v1.2 plugin works with v4.2.2 (the current PortableApps version). So, you'll have to copy the Aspell files to X:\PortableApps\Aspell (19 char relative path) rather than X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Aspell (31 char relpath). Unfortunately, the config-file parser has a 29-char limit for the actual path. Then create or edit config\SpellChecker.ini, adding a Relative Path line like below: \App\DefaultData\settings) because it's not actually used. You can delete the SpellChecker.ini here (and under. Go to that directory to make these instructions shorter. To make it work with Aspell portable, extract the v1.2 SpellChecker.dll to X:\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\App\Notepad++\plugins (replacing the old one). Note that there is also a new Notepad++ ( v4.3 2) available here, but v4.3 still includes v1.1 of the Spell-Checker plugin. Newest release of Spell-Checker plugin ( v1.2 0) available here.
