 Posted: Fri Feb 14, 2003 6:18 pm Post subject: Sylpheed: spell checking and thread settings |
 |
|
Sorry if this is an incorrect place for this post. I was unsure. Moderators, please move if so. Thank you.
-----------------------------
I'm really enjoying sylpheed, but am having trouble with two issues. First is that spell checking seems to be complaining. I have tried several things, but can't get any of the settings to change under:
Configurations -> Common Prefs - > Spell Checker
When I start a new message I get the error "Spell Checker could not be started. No word list can be found for the language "no". I'm thinking that should be "en_US" (as I'm American).
Second, each time my IMAP box is checked, the threads are all expanded. Problems is I collapsed them because I wanted them collapsed. Any way to make this setting stick?
Thanks for your help.
Edit: (2 Min. later)
Forgot to specify that I'm using sylpheed-claws and not the standard syplpheed.

Don't know if you're using aspell or ispell, but..
| Code: |
* app-dicts/aspell-en
Latest version available: 0.50.2
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of downloaded files: 164 kB
Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/projects/aspell/index.html
Description: English (US, British, Canadian) language dictionary for aspell

That's a good suggestion, unfortunately already tried it. I use aspell.
| Code: |
# emerge -p aspell-en
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] app-dicts/aspell-en-0.50.2
|
I also have ispell installed also. |

I had a similiar problem and installing aspell-en seemed to fix it... though I did have to adjust the settings in the Configuration > Common Preferences > Spell Checker (tab). Or not adjust but resave... it had saved the language to use as "none" and I simply changed it to en.

We'll the problem was that I only had "none", but your comment did help me figure out that I had "/usr/share/aspell" instead of "/usr/lib/aspell" as the "Dictionary Path". Once I changed that I was able to get all sorts of dictionaries.
Thanks guys. Now I just need to figure out that annoying thread expansion issue. Have any hints?

The thread expansion thing is just something I deal with. I've never been able to get some settings (like that one) to stick. My guess is buggy software.

Now I can't get them to stay open if I want them open, and when I type any faster than a certain speed the whole program stalls for 15 sec. and CPU usage skyrockets, but I can easily use other programs without problem.

Seem to have fixed this, I moved my drafts folder off of the Exchange (IMAP) folder to a local folder and I no longer experience this slow problem while typing. What a relief. I guess drafts were being saved more than I realized. Not a sylpheed issue at all.

I am able to get it to stay in the IMAP inbox by unchecking the preference to enter the "Inbox" after checking for new mail. I guess this wasn't setup with IMAP in mind, but now at least it stays where I left it.
Hope all this feature finding helps someone sometime in the future getting to know sylpheed-claws. I'm still happy with it above any other. Just some of the deeper protions of the interface are a little less than intuitive.
