At the time I stepped in and added this dataDirectory relative to lyx's
system
and user directories there was only one path for hunspell available: the
one
in preferences. This one now is the first one visited. The idea to add the
other paths was to incorporate some dictionary download into LyX - but it
didn't happen - I couldn't afford the development of such a feature.
The files to download should be placed in the user directory of LyX.
The package maintainers can put a default in lyxrc.dist, right?
