You might be allowed to create a file a file in an application subfolder, but you wouldn’t be allowed to modify it. (Unless you’re running Gramps as an Admin.) Is there a way the Enchant path can be expanded (perhaps with the [broker](https://pyenchant.github.io/pyenchant/api/enchant.html) feature) to include a location in the User Directory… where Gramps would be permitted to make unlimited changes? As a couple asides… 1. are the Dictionary and Affix files standard files downloaded from some service? Only about 16 (out of 43) languages have these files in the GrampsPortable install. So I’d like to find dictionary & affix files for the rest of the languages. 2. if these are generated specifically for Gramps, it seems odd that ‘Gramps’ is not a word included in our dictionary. --- _[View the full topic](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/dictionary-changes-not-saving/1499)._
