Spell checker user dictionary location
« on: August 12, 2009, 06:34:12 pm »
Does anyone know if it's possible to move the location of the user dictionary.
My Vista program folder is set to read only by group policy, and so EA can't update the user dictionary file.

From the release notes for EA 8.0 Build 855:

Quote
Improved Vista/Windows 7 compatibility by storing various per-user files (such as spelling dictionaries and the EAExample.eap) to the user's Application Data directory.

Thanks, what we want to do is be able to set these directories so they can point at a (team) common directory on a network share.

The fast way to get that done would be to forget about Sparx and set that file as a symbolic link to a shared location.

Sure, in fact things like "My Documents" are really symbolic links.
It's just that Windows doesn't expose the functionality in the windows explorer.
Luckily there are a bunch of free tools out there that you can use to create symbolic links in Windows.
