Good to hear it works for you.
Meanwhile, recovering from the flu so been slow. Tested various builds to see where it looks for the dictionary files and got,
Code: [Select]
2023.12.25 looks for bdic in ./qtwebengine_dictionaries
2024.01.25 Settings says "The directory qtwebengine_dictionaries cannot be accessed. Please read Source/dooble_settings.cc, line 2285."
2024.11.23 Settings says "The directory qtwebengine_dictionaries cannot be accessed. Dooble searched W:/\qtwebengine_dictionaries. Please read Source/dooble_settings, line 2363."
2025.11.25 Settings says "Warning \en_CA.bdic cannot be accessed!"

Next is to boot to Linux and test and perhaps open an issue.
Martin, IIRC you have Dooble installed under Windows. Could you check the settings and see if the dictionaries are not found and what the message is?

Dave, do you mean here on the spellchecker?

The windows version comes with "/qtwebengine_dictionaries" right here dooble.exe is. I don't think it is taking it right.

Regards

Hi Martin, yes that is what I wanted. Interesting, exactly the same error as the OS/2 build besides I used en_CA so it is a Dooble bug.
I just tried on Linux and got,
Code: [Select]
2025.11.25 Settings says"Warning! The directoy qtwebengine_dictionaries cannot be accessed. Dooble searched /home/dave/work/dooble/build/qtwebengine_dictionaries. Please read /home/dave/work/dooble/Source/dooble_settings.cc line 2766
Which is correct. My guess is the directory separator is screwing things up. Before your post I was wondering if it was a bug in our Qt

Still works here. Press CTRL-D and see if the downloads tab opens. Note that by default Dooble downloads to \Home\Desktop, which can be changed on the downloads tab at the top. You sould be able to right click on a file etc and choose "Save Link" to save.
Possible your profile is corrupt if not working.

Good. It is kind of a weird place to download files to when there is also \Home\Downloads but I think that's how it works on Windows and many a Linux Desktop tries to follow Windows. OS/2 itself is too old to have a Downloads folder but perhaps it should have.
