Zim

unable to activate gtkspellcheck on zim 0.65 windows version

Asked by LordMax

Hi

I'm using Zim for work and it's ok but I'm a writer too and I want to use it for books and novels creation.

I need, absolutly, a spellchecker and zim work with gtkspellcheck that I know. Good

Well.
I have no way to initiate it.

I work on windows10
I have python 2.7 installed and pygtkspellcheck's module installed and working

From everywhere I can write 'import gtkspellcheck' and it works, not from Zim

Someone can help me?

thanks

Are you are using the windows installer for zim ?

The installer bundles it's own python install, so having gtkspellcheck installed in any other python install the application will still not see it.

This should be fixable, but I'm not the right person to answer how.

Hi

thanks

I'm using the portable version

Executing the zim module (spell.py) alone (in the standard directory) it works:

<code>

'''Spell check plugin based on gtkspell'''

import locale
import logging

#logger = logging.getLogger('zim.plugins.spell')

#from zim.plugins import PluginClass, WindowExtension, extends
#from zim.signals import SIGNAL_AFTER
#from zim.actions import toggle_action
#from zim.gui.widgets import ErrorDialog

# Try which of the two bindings is available
import gtk # ensure gtkspellcheck detects right gtk binding
try:
 import gtkspellcheck
except ImportError:
 gtkspellcheck = None

 try:
  import gtkspell
 except ImportError:
  gtkspell = None
else:
 gtkspell = None

</code>

it works.

from zim desktop it doesn't 'hear' gtkspellcheck
