“Add to dictionary” in Collabora Online on Nextcloud AIO

[karlemilnikka]

Has anyone got “add to dictionary” to work in Collabora Online, running on Nextcloud AIO? The option is missing when right-clicking on words that are indicated to be misspelled.

Here’s what I see when right-clicking.

It's been removed, because it can't be done at the moment, the words added wouldn't be persistent.

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

@thebearon Do you know if “ignore all” is supposed to work? When right-clicking and choosing “ignore all” nothing happens. Ignoring one mislabeled misspelling at a time works.

We still have the same Problems here in version 23.0.5 running on Nextcloud 27.0.2. Is there any news on the topic?

@thebearon when do you reckon it can be done? What's missing?

[thebearon]

These words should be saved in the integrating environment (eg. Nextcloud), the feature would need to implemented on that end, and as an interface to Collabora Online. There are also tricky situations, because originally, in LibreOffice these additions are saved to the user profile, but in this case not only a single user can work on a document, so storing these per user on the file host might not make much sense.

@thebearon Could you tell us why the words added wouldn't be persistent and is it possible to do this, please?

[thebearon]

Collabora Online is stateless, once a session is finished and the changes are saved, the session is discarded, including the personal dictionary items that were added during the session. The feature comes from LibreOffice code, and the personal dictionary is saved into the user profile, which doesn't exist, and doesn't make sense in Collabora Online.

Thank you for the explanation.
