@manisandro I installed gImageReader in the C:/Program Files/gImageReader folder.
It says I should install the spellchecking dictionary.

However, when I try, it fails to download with this error

I am connected to the Internet and I saw no firewall popup, so it's likely a folder permission issue.

I tried to run it as Administrator. Then it seemed to work, but it actually did not.

After that, I still get the same error about missing dictionaries.
In fact, I see a mismatch between the myspell folder and the hunspell folder.

Are you using an up-to-date version of gimagereader?

If you mean the latest stable version, 3.4.1, yes.
Please note the installation folder.

I believe this has been fixed in a4820eb, which is not yet part of a released stable version. Can you try with the latest master snapshot build?

I've run a scan of the file gImageReader_latest_qt5_x86_64.exe in the releases page and it looks infected.

It could be a false positive, but since Avast, AVG and McAffee are all complaining about it, you might want to find out why.

Besides, looking at the commit, I think it won't solve the permission issue when downloading a language after the installation.

The only possible action here is to find out how to contact the respective companies and warn them about the false positives. There is no way to know exactly what is triggering a match in their signatures. Alternatively you can try the portable version, or even compile yourself.

Should be fixed with a4820eb
