FarrSpell - Spelling and Thesaurus Plugin for FARR

<< < (2/3) > >>

ewemoa:
Just tried installing it.  Seems to work here.


* Downloaded the zip file.
* Created folder under FARR's Plugins subfolder named FarrSpell.
* Extracted the content of the zip file into newly created folder -- so the contents include dict\, icons\, etc.
* Brought up FARR and typed rplugins and pressed Enter key at dialog box.
* Saw FarrSpell (v1.04.01 - Februrary 14th, 2012) as one of the results.
* In FARR's main window, after clearing the existing text, typed fspell necesary followed by the Enter key.
* Observed that the first result was CORRECT: necessary.
FARR version 2.105.1 (Portable) on Windows XP Pro SP3.

An additional data point...just verified above steps with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

Using the portable version of FARR installed on a Windows 7 notebook. I do not see the proper icon for correctly spelled words. I see an icon that looks like a DOS screen. Also I do not see the Thesaurus entries in the list. All dictionaries and the Thesaurus are located in the FarrSpell plugin directory.
Very frustrating. :( I would appreciate any advice on how to get it to work.

EDIT: Could the problem have anything to do with what program the dictionary files and the Thesaurus are associated with on my PC? I noticed that the Thesaurus is associated with Windows Media Player and the dictionary files are associated with "Windows Shell Common"...? Furthermore I get the following error:

---------------------------
Find and Run Robot
---------------------------
Access violation at address 75AF48FC in module 'OLEAUT32.dll'. Read of address 00000001.

---------------------------
OK  
---------------------------

EDIT 2: Problem partially solved after reinstalling FARR and plugins. The dictionary files in the original installation were not in the right subdirectory. However, the OLEAUT32.dll error is still there, every time I try to access any row in the list of suggested words.

Hi Don,  let me try the addon on a win7 machine and see what kind of issues i get.. It may just be a minor bug that doesn't show up in my normal development machine but which is an easy fix..  Or it could be something that requires a more elaborate fix for the plugin -- for example if i was assuming that the plugin directory was writable.

Don Cody:
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.

As I wrote earlier, I'm using the portable version which I copied to the Windows 7 c:\users\myname\appdata\roaming subdirectory. I have several other portable applications installed there too.

I'll try and see if there may be similar problems with other plugins. My experience so far is that the OLEAUT32.dll error message does not only occur with Fspell. For example I had this problem with Windows Search. The first time I ran it FARR crashed, and when I restarted it the OLEAUT32.dll error came up.
