--- Comment #7 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Mark from comment #0) > an option to open the preferred on-line dictionary in the preferred > browser with that unrecognized word. I was sure that sentence was going to end like this: "an option to additionally open an extra, domain-specific, dictionary file" and that dictionary could be either on disk (as an add-on or a plain file), and possibly on-line, similarly to how we can choose, say, themes. About your concrete suggestion - I tend to oppose directing people to the Internet to that extent. (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #3) > Subject-specific dictionaries can be added as > user-defined word lists and different languages are also not a problem. Well, maybe we can make that discoverable/accessible through the context menu for spellcheck errors? (but then, it would not be fair to have that under this bug and it would better suit a new one.) > Sure, the convenience of some web sites can't be denied, but what website > could would suited for the average user? Actually that's a bit of a weak argument IMNSHO; I would say that the use case Mark brings up is that of the _non-average_ user, for which we really don't know where the appropriate glossary would be found. > More relevant, however, is that we should not implement functions that > require an Internet connection. Realizing the idea per extension sounds > effective to me. I agree. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
