Dictonary installer

ed666 - April 21, 2011 - 4:35pm

Hi

i don't know if i post this message at the right place, if not i'm sorry

I made a dictionary installer for Abiword portable but i don't know if there would be any interest here and where i could or should post it.

It's based on a standard plugin installer and it installs all the available dictionary's to the dictionary folder in de app folder.

As far as i know this is legal (correct me if i'm wrong)

[Fixed] AbiWord fails to start after splash due to MSVC

BouncyHat - August 25, 2010 - 7:47pm

The splash window for Abiword appears, but once it goes away the application immediately terminates. Abiword never starts.

I do use OpenOffice, but I have been finding it to be a bit sluggish, slow at starting up, and the fact that while I am working on a document it seems to randomly freeze for a minutes.

This is the reason I am trying to get Abiword to work, to see if it is any better/faster.

The PortableApps Suite is installed on the root of a flash thumb drive.

MojoPac is not installed, and has never been installed.

Spell Checker

Pappajohn's picture
Pappajohn - July 16, 2010 - 1:33pm

Got tired of the open office suite...Loads way too slow and I only really needed a word processor, and I don't think that can be separated from the suite. So I turned to Abiword, very basic..however I've tried to get the spell check to work with no results. Any ideas out there?...Thanks Pappajohn

Portable AbiWord Malfunction

port_user - June 10, 2010 - 8:27pm

I changed the language settings in the AbiWord 2.6 installed on D partition. After that the menu in Abi disappeared, and then I could not (and still cannot) launch it at all. I cannot also launch Abi from the memory stick with a separate Portable Platform installation. Reboot does not help. This tells me that the problem is with some settings on the laptop that Abi changed/corrupted - the memory stick with Abi works fine on a different computer. I thought that portable appl.
