Set language definition path manually #608

Hi, I recently upgraded tesseract-ocr to version 5, So gImageReader stopped recognizing tessdata even by the setting up variable TESSDATA_PREFIX to /usr/share/tesserarct-ocr/5/tessdata/, Therefore I did a workaround by making a link to tessdata in /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata/, So is there a way to set manual tessdata in-app preferences or suggest a better solution? OS: Ubuntu 22.04 TIA

You'll need to recompile gimagereader against the tesseract 5.
