French dictionary impossible to install #3847

Closed dbitouze closed 1 month ago

dbitouze commented 1 month ago

Environment

Expected behavior

The French dictionary can be enabled/installed.

Actual behavior

Some users (on Ubuntu and on macOS) reported that the French dictionary cannot be enabled/installed anymore.

How to reproduce

When they go to Option → Configure TeXstudio → Language Checking, they are advised to ‘Download additional dictionaries from OpenOffice or LibreOffice’. The French dictionary is this extension but after downloading the .oxt file, when they try to ‘Import the dictionary’ by selecting the lo-oo-ressources-linguistiques-fr-v5-2.oxt file, the popup ‘The selected file does not seem to contain a Hunspell dictionary. Do you want to import it nevertheless?’ appears. If they click on ‘Yes’, (they are eventually presented with the popup ‘The dictionary files have been imported to %1. However this path is not contained in the dictionary path list. Do you want to add it?’ If they click ‘Yes’,) nothing happens and the French dictionary is not activated/installed.

Linux: txs uses hunspell dictionaries. All linux distributions provide hunspell dictionaries, so on linux just install the french dictionary, make sure that dictionary path is set to /usr/share/hunspell and select the dictionary. OSX: txs provides tens of languages, including French. The path (which should be the default), is [txs-app-dir]/../Resources.

Handling oxt files is usually not needed.

and the import still works. The dictionaries are actually placed under [txs-settings-dir]/dictionaries/lo-oo-ressources-linguistiques-fr-v5-2.oxt/dictionaries

Sure all Linux distributions install hunspell in /usr/share/?

and select the dictionary.

But if you click on the ‘Import Dictionary’ button to select a dictionary, only .oxt files can be opened.

Not sure to understand what you mean (I'm not a macOS user and can't look at its file system).

Handling oxt files is usually not needed.

See above.

The dictionaries are actually placed under [txs-settings-dir]/dictionaries/lo-oo-ressources-linguistiques-fr-v5-2.oxt/dictionaries

If I'm right, this supposes to extract the (in fact zip file) lo-oo-ressources-linguistiques-fr-v5-2.oxt and to copy the resulting folder into [txs-settings-dir]/dictionaries/, the dictionaries folder being manually created if it doesn't exist beforehand. Do you confirm?

"select a dictionary" is not "import dictionary" red marked: dictionary path, here you put [txs-app-dir]/../Resourceson OSX green marked: select (default) dictionary grafik

sunderme commented 1 month ago

the "import dictionary" button extracts the oxt file. Apparently it used have only one folder which was directly copied to [settings]/dictionary but now it has more subfolders, all of it is copied to settings../dictionaries, keeping the folder structure of the oxt, and txs does not find the actual dictionaries directly.

Ah... If you had said ‘Select default language’, I would have understood on my own. :wink:
