Build 16142 appears to have fixed the issue when using the latest en-GB dictionary available from the above repo's `master`. No more Spell Check warnings, and incorrect spellings are being underlined correctly.

Thanks!

There was a dictionary update to V 2.93. No change.

I hope SmartGit will be able to determine why it cannot load the more recent en-GB dictionaries, whilst other software can. Though not strictly necessary, I'd appreciate being able to use the most recent dictionary version.

Thanks.


Regardless if the default `en_US` dictionary is present or not in SmartGit's preferences, it seems to be impossible to load the British English dictionary by Marco A.G.Pinto (dictionary V 2.92 - 2021-01-01). The dictionary files used were obtained from the LibreOffice Extension (identical en-GB files also available on GitHub).

SmartGit will report "Spell Check: Could not read the dictionary file. Affix".

If the `en_GB.aff` is removed and SmartGit restarted, "Spell Check: The file you are trying to access seems to be no valid dictionary file." is reported.

The files seem to be compatible in Firefox when installed via extension (which appears to be the very same dictionary

version), so perhaps the problem lays on SmartGit's end, rather than perhaps incorrect syntax in the `.aff` or `.dic`?

SmartGit v20.2.2 portable (installed via scoop)


On further investigation, it would seem that the V 2.81 - 2020-02-01 commit was the last compatible en-GB dictionary with SmartGit v20.2.2. Commit V 2.82 - 2020-03-01 and beyond seem to be incompatible.
