Yeah, it would probably not be uncomplicated. Nevertheless, if we could find a nice solution for LO which does not require the symlinks, it would allow for a better user experience for e.g. Spanish and Arabic users. Another brainstorm like thought: Assume that we'd introduce three new directories, e.g. /usr/share/libreoffice/hunspell /usr/share/libreoffice/hyphen /usr/share/libreoffice/mythes and put the symlinks there instead. Would it be doable to have LO look both in /usr/share/hunspell and /usr/share/libreoffice/hunspell for spellcheck dictionaries? Just keep thinking. :) -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj
