Hello everyone.

I'm getting desperate here.
I have installed UltraEdit on a new computer/notebook.

So far so good, but:
I have added a lot of words in the spell checker on the old computer stored in a custom dictionary (German: Wörterbuch).
Where are they saved?
I think I've already searched everything, but I can't find anything.
I would of course like to transfer them instead of having to retype them.

Greetings Frank

Windows Spell Checking API

UltraEdit for Windows ≥ v25.00 and UEStudio ≥ v18.00 use on Windows 8.1 and newer Windows versions like Windows 10 or Windows 11 the Windows Spell Checking API.
The Windows Spell Checking API is not available on Windows with a version lower than 8.1 like Windows 8 or Windows 7.

The custom words are stored by the Windows Spell Checking API in the file default.dic in the language directories in the directory %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Spelling. This directory with all its subdirectories and files can be copied from one PC to another PC.

Aspell spell checker

UltraEdit for Windows < v25.00 and UEStudio < v18.00 use on Windows 8.1 and newer Windows versions like Windows 10 or Windows 11 the GNU Aspell spell checker.
UltraEdit for Windows ≥ v25.00 and < v28.10 and UEStudio ≥ v18.00  and < v21.10 use on Windows 7 and Windows 8 the GNU Aspell spell checker.
There is no support for spell checking at all on Windows 7 and Windows 8 since UltraEdit for Windows v28.10 and UEStudio v21.10.

The INI  file with fully qualified file name displayed at Advanced - Settings or Configuration - Application layout - Advanced contains the section [SpellChecker] with the setting DataDictDir=. This directory contains the Aspell files *.prepl (personal replaces) and *.pws (personal words). The Personal data directory can be configured at Advanced - Settings or Configuration - Spell checker - Dictionary directories.

Hi Mofi,

I already suspected that it would be you who would put me back on the right track.

Thank you very much.

The custom words are stored by the Windows Spell Checking API in the file default.dic in the language directories in the directory %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Spelling. This directory with all its subdirectories and files can be copied from one PC to another PC.

This is exactly how the dictionaries can be moved without having to re-enter them.
