Hello
Spell check is not working by default in portable pidgin. Also it doesnt work even if I recheck the spell check option. It is working in the original installer.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Spellcheck needs to be added manually: https://portableapps.com/support/pidgin_portable#spellcheck
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Are those steps out of date now? I don't have that path structure.
Mine ends at: PidginPortable\App\Pidgin\spellcheck\
but I found the folder 'enchant' in this way: App\Pidgin\spellcheck\lib\enchant
but there is no folder 'myspell'
and inside my 'enchant' folder are two files:
libenchant_ispell.dll
libenchant_myspell.dll
What do I do?
edit: Also, the link to the OpenOffice.org dictionary is dead.
As indicated in that link, you need to create that file structure.
As for the dictionaries, see here for where to get them: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Installing%20Pidgin#manual_win32_spellch...
I did read carefully, I was just worried since the guide is a bit old and I already had those folders, just with different paths. I didn't want to mess it up because they had changed. I'm just a big worrier
Thanks for the help and the new link.
