As I have recently learned, it's location is (hard coded) in the LyX
user directory.


With decently up-to-date LyX versions, you can see these locations in
Help>About LyX.


Thanks, I knew where to find the user directory. But my original 
question was not "Where is the user directory?" but "Where is my 
personal dictionary?". I guess I missed the file when checking my user 
directory or was too convinced that it must be placed elsewhere so that 
other applications that use the spelling engine can access it.

Personal dictionaries are at:

C:\Users\**username**\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\

personal dictionaries are named as: pwl_**lang_name**.dict

You need to add a word to your dictionary for this file to appear. Otwerwise, 
it is not there by default.

This is the personal directory for windows, therefore it has other setting 
files as well.

LyX About window under Help shows the location of this folder:

Yes, you may modify it. It's a simple text file with UTF-8 encoding containing 
one word per line.
But it's cached by LyX and (over)written to disk on exit. You should change it 
only after quitting LyX.

It is in the LyX user folder: Got to your personal directory, something like
C:\Users\yourlogin

then to the hidden AppData subfolder (if your hidden folders are not 
visible, you can type its name in the location bar, I don't know the 
official name), then Roaming folder: that where applications store the

Finally, open the lyx20 folder.

I use Bristish english, the file is called pwl_british.dict for me.

This may depend on which OS you use and which spelling checker you use.

Look first in Tools - Preferences... - Language Settings - 
Spellchecker and see if the path to the personal dictionary is set

dictionaries should be personal.  I just don't think the installers 
necessarily do recognize that.


On the system I'm using just now (XP home), I actually have two 
personal dictionaries, as an artifact of some previous installation

Users\Application Data\Aspell\Personal, the other in 
C:\Aspell\Personal.  (In earlier versions of LyX, we had to install 
the full Aspell program, and it had to be in C:\Aspell because the 
absolute path was hard-coded into LyX back then.)  In both cases, the

file name will differ if you are using, say, a Danish dictionary.  If 
you install Aspell for one user rather than all users, change All 
Users in the path above to your login name.  I'm not sure if this 
stuff is in the same location on Vista, but I know Vista has Documents 
and Settings directories somewhere.
I have just checked it thoroughly, and the personal dictionary is placed 
in C:\ProgramData\Aspell\Personal, which is very stupid.

So why is this stupid someone might ask. Well:
- First of all, this makes it a global dictionary for all users, not 
that personal.
- Second, users are for some stupid reason allowed to create files in 
\ProgramData and subdirectories, but only the creator is allowed to 
change the files. Which I assume could create some security issues, and 
some general anoyance.
- Third, since the first users becomes the owner, this is the only one 
allowed to change the file. But because of some fucked up Vista 
filesystem, programs not designed for Vista does not recoqnize that they 
are not allowed to write the file, and they just write it. When a 
program (not prepared for Vista) writes such a file, it is actually 
written, however in a different version only seen by this program, and 
only temporarily... Which is very anoying.

Sorry, I was mixing up personal *dictionary* and personal *directory* (aka
home dir).

I'm not sure if it's that simple on Windows.  On Windows, Aspell can be 
installed either for all users or for the user logged in during the 
installation.  I think the location of the personal dictionary depends 
on which choice was made (although I'm not 100% sure of that).

I'm not sure if it's that simple on Windows.  On Windows, Aspell can be 
installed either for "all users" or for the user logged in during the 
installation.  I think the location of the personal dictionary depends 
on which choice was made (although I'm not 100% sure of that).

I am not able to use the personal dictionary with Aspell. Words that I 
add while spellchecking are not recognized next time I run the 
spellcheker. In preferences, I have set a certain personal dictionary 
file, to force LyX to use it, but the result is the same. The words are 
not added to the file.


Interestingly, the personal dictionary functionality works in LyX 1.4.2 
(which I also have installed). More interestingly, LyX 1.4.2 does not 
use the personal dictionary file specified in Prefenrences. It rather 
uses the file that have been automatically created within the LyX 
1.4.2's bin directory (OBS! no Aspell files are created in LyX 1.4.3's 
bin directory).


Is the problem with the personal dictionary specific to LyX 1.4.3-4? Is 
it a problem with Uwe's installer?


No this is a general problem and also in the official installer.

@Joost: Could you please have a look at the new aspell version you deliver since LyX 1.4.3-5? The problem is that the actual aspell version 
prevents the *.pws-files to be written.


thanks and regards
Uwe
