Spellcheck plugin cant find words path

[mundusnine]

I am opening the lite editor normally and it says that(i.e. normally == at the root path of the exe)

As far as I know windows doesn't provide a dictionary file similar to linux, you'll have to download the dictionary file you want to use. You can then place it next to lite.exe and set the relevant config field inside your user module:

config.dictionary_file = EXEDIR .. "/dictionary_filename"

Noted; Looking into available dictionary files that we could use to propose to windows users. Maybe putting a note in the readme recognizing this issue on windows would be valuable to avoid people like me to report the issue ;)

My guess is we could use this: words.txt file ? I looked around the interwebs and the words file on linux just seems to be a newline-delimited list of dictionary words.

Yep, any white-space-separated list of words will work

[mundusnine]

Would you find it adequate to change:
config.dictionary_file = "/usr/share/dict/words"
to

if package.config:sub(1,1) == '/' then
  config.dictionary_file = "/usr/share/dict/words"
else
  config.dictionary_file = EXEDIR .. "/words.txt"
end

As this would enable windows users to just include a words.txt file and spellchecking would work ?

Btw I intend on doing a PR to change the readme to note what I said before(i.e. on windows we need to supply a words.txt) and I would add the change I just talked about if you approve.

I'd be happy to merge the change with one minor modifcation: lite provides a PLATFORM global for these situations; the package.config check can be replaced with the following:

if PLATFORM == "Windows" then
