Re: quanta does not see the spell checker in KDE

Hi,

Wonder why upon trying to spell check a file in quanta it complains:
"The spelling program could not be started. Please make sure you have
set the correct spelling program and that it is properly configured and
in your PATH."

Spell check works properly in Kedit thought. Any suggestions how to get
quanta to spell check the files?

Maybe quanta is configured for another spell checker (e.g. ispell) which
is not present on your system. AFAIK there is no way to change this
setting from the quanta menus, but you can find it in the configuration
file. This is what works for me with quanta 3.5.2-2 and aspell 0.60.4-4:

$ awk '/\[Spelling\]/,/^$/' ~/.kde/share/config/quantarc
[Spelling]
Client=1
DictFromList=true
Dictionary=en
Encoding=0
IgnoreList=
NoRootAffix=false
ReplaceAllList=
RunTogether=false
