Lifeograph

Custom Dictionary words file

Asked by Uday Kumar

In Lifeograph, Prior to the v1.6 update, the dictionary file used to be located in ~/.config/enchant/en_US.dic but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. After the update, all my custom dictionary words are showing up underlined in red. I have over 1000 custom words in that file. Previously, whenever I make a fresh installation of Lifeograph on one of my Systems, I can simply copy this file to from the backup location to the freshly installed system and then it'll all work. But now, after the migration to Flatpak, all my custom words are now being underlined again.
Kindly advise.

I think, you just need to copy your words file to the appropriate Flafpak directory.
Hint:
Per user applications are installed under ~/.local/share/flatpak/app
System-wide applications are installed under /var/lib/flatpak/app

Dear Ahmet,
Thank you so much for your response. I looked into the respective directories but had trouble understanding exactly where I'm required to place my diary file. Could you please tell me precisely where I'm required to place my dictionary file?
Also, kindly advise if I need to rename this file in some specific way for the program to recognize this.

Thank you.
Kind regards,
Uday

Dear Ahmet,

I found the new location of the custom dictionary words file.

It's here...
~/.var/app/net.sourceforge.Lifeograph/config/enchant

Thank you so much for this amazing application.
Keep up the good work.

Kind regards,
Uday
