Pidgin: Spellchecker issue -- no longer underlines misspelled words

I installed the latest version (Pidgin 2.4.0) and, even though the "highlight misspelled words" checkbox remains checked, it does not mark the words as misspelled.

Come to think of it, I cannot be sure that this has ever worked since I moved to the PortableApps version. Is there something other than just Pidgin I need to install for this to work? For the non-PortableApps version, I had installed aspell and an English dictionary... do I need to include that on my USB drive as well?

Yup

Pidgin Portable will look for ASpell within the PidginPortable\App\Aspell directory. You can generally just copy all your ASpell files from a local install into there.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks!

Thanks. Maybe next time I'll bother to actually read the readme file. Smile
