Feature Request: custom spellcheck dictionary included in the file #798

I'm working on a file across two computers, synced with Google Drive. After adding words to my custom dictionary on one computer, they then show up as incorrect again on the other. Would it be possible to have a custom dictionary associated with each file? This could be a way to help make 755: Automatically add character names to spellcheck dictionary work.

If you mean each Project, because I do not use the single file option. I use SVN for versioning of my Stories.

This is something, which didn't knew I'm missing;)

Having just spent some time working with the spellchecking module (working on the aforementioned #755), it appears based on the source code that this should be pretty doable. And also a good idea, since it would make sense for one novel to have a different set of custom names than another. I think all that would need done is to overwrite BasicDictionary.getCustomDictionaryPath() to point to the project folder. I will experiment with this while I work on #775.
