Local dictionaries not found

[jcguu95]

I have set the dictionary paths as follows

  (setq lexic-dictionary-path "~/data/storage/dictionary/") 
  (push '("WordNet" :priority 6) lexic-dictionary-specs)

where the dictionary info is as follows

[jin@guu-fast ~]$ tree ~/data/storage/dictionary

But it isn't effective. Searching the word dictionary found nothing.

Failed because you used a relative path and sdcv is picky. I'll update the docstring of lexic-dictionary-path

[jcguu95]

Or should we just use path-expand to resolve the relative path to absolute? The config file for the user would be more portable.

:thinking: That does seem better.
