[New: openFATE 318172] set up a filter about which myspell dictionaries shall be listed
Feature added by: Stakanov Schufter (stakanov) Feature #318172, revision 1 Title: set up a filter about which myspell dictionaries shall be listed openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Stakanov Schufter (stakanov) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: With the new set-up Firefox and Kontakt are using the myspell dictionaries but from 13.2 this is really messed up because it shows everything installed. When selecting which dictionary to use, if you are really needing them (like me I am using continuously several languages) the selection confusing. When installing the package with Spanish that gives you in the list all 10ish or so packages with all flavours of the world. English even worse. This is no usable, as long as you do not search in this clutter the standard languages you actually need and want. How many user have to write in correct Argentine style Spanish? How many you guess need Castellano for business. Please set up a filter to make sure one can show only the languages within the dictionary selection that one does actually intend to use. This problem is true for Kmail, firebox and AFAIK all other programs integrated with the myspell packages. Just putting all standard languages in one package wouldn't help. It is common e.g. that someone wants English and Spanish and e.g. Spanish (Uruguay) but is presented then a list with all English and all Spanish flavours. You then have to search in this unbelievable clutter. With the Italian language the situation is like desired because there is one menu entry. But imagine at the current standard if someone sets up all Italian dialects from Napoletano to Bolognes and Bergamasco you are going to be presented with 200 entries? Doesn't make any sense, does it? Use Case: Work in office needs fast switching from one language to another. Clutter makes the program unusable. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Because we want a set-up that is productive, to "get your work done" and not an etymological research case. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318172
