Extracting full wordlist from AbiWord's dictionaries


Hi there. Sorry if you got this message in duplicate (I first sent right 
after I sent the mail to subscribe to the mailing list but before 
activating...).

Is there any easy/fast way to extract the entire list of words in an 
AbiWord dictionary into a single .txt file in Windows?
Is it even possible? Or is the wordlist already available as a source 
files (instead of the .hash file... editable by Notepad...).

I kind of need this since I'm currently using an app that doesn't have 
dictionaies in my language...
A simple app that did this like by drag-n-drop (preferably one word per 
line and in lowercase... with unicode support) would be great...

If not, is there a notepad like application under Win32 (free and with 
unicode support) that opens/edits .hash files?

Would really like to know.

Thanks in advance,

Problems with Mailmerge in 2.6.3


I have followed the instruction in the help section to do a Mail Merge 
from the command line. Unfortunately it does not seem to work as described.

I created a csv file and a  template file and then executed from the 
command line:

$ abiword -m cover.csv -p cover.ps FaxHeader.abw

** (abiword:3311): WARNING **: Could not GPAReference Printer to cover.ps

/usr/bin/lpr: The printer or class was not found.

If however I execute:

$ abiword -m cover.csv -p Oki FaxHeader.abw

** (abiword:2860): WARNING **: Could not GPAReference Printer to Oki

but it prints Ok with the correct data in it.

If I execute:

$ abiword -m cover.csv FaxHeader.abw

(abiword:3079): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:1741: instance 
`0x86a5038' has no handler with id `2460'

You do need to download and install the tools plugins with every new
release if you're using Windows.  If you have trouble, uninstall all
AbiWord-related items in your Add-Remove Programs, then get a fresh
installer and tools plugins installer from www.abisource.com and install
them, making sure to check the Grammar Checker box in the plugin
installer - it is not installed by default.

I'm not sure this is possible - you might get more success searching for
a freely-licensable word list.  There is the source for those wordlists
somewhere, they are just GPL'ed ispell hashes.   You might also look
into using aspell as an "external" spell checker. 

Hopefully this info gives you enough to Google for to find what will

User Survey as a part of Summer of Code


Hello AbiWord users!  This summer, as a part of the Google Summer of
Code, I am re-designing some of the formatting interface of AbiWord.  My
goal is to arrive at a design that works well for the widest variety of
users, and to ensure that the results match the needs of users, I need
your help!

I have put together a brief survey, it should take no more than 10-15
minutes of your time, and asks for no personally-identifying
information. You can participate no matter your experience level or
computer skills - I want the opinions of all computer users, from the
most basic to "techies" like me. I would greatly appreciate your help -
the results will be used to guide my work this summer to produce
powerful software usable by everyone!

Here's the link - please feel free to pass it on to friends and family. 
I'd appreciate your results by next Monday, the 14th of July.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=CC2VmRKADyfi2exeQ32WTw_3d_3d

Thanks again!

Re: Extracting full wordlist from AbiWord's dictionaries

There are word lists for Aspell and Myspell/Hunspell. I'd advise
looking into that.

AbiWord Auto Save Location


I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and the packs from the AbiWord PPA, currently
version 2.6.3.

I've just had AbiWord crash (which is another issue) and I stupidly
did not save my document.  I do have auto save enabled, but I can't
find the backup file on my system.  Comment #4 on this bug
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5235 suggests that
AbiWord will still auto save my document, but the bug doesn't specify
where it will be saved in a Linux filesystem.

Does anyone know the path AbiWord uses if the document has not been saved?

Thanks in advance!

~John

Re: Problems with Mailmerge in 2.6.3


Thanks for the clue. This line seems to work:

abiword -t ps -o output.ps  -m cover.csv FaxHeader.abw

Pity that neither the documentation nor the help function are up to date

Many Thanks

All the best

Re: Problems with Mailmerge in 2.6.3


Glad it worked!  If you could file a bug with the text that was wrong
and where you found it, that would be great - that way it will be more
likely to get fixed.
