Personally I prefer the current behaviour of the OpenOffice.org spell checker to
the Mac OS X system wide spell checker. With the current implementation of the
Mac OS X sell checker, if you correct one word through a right click, suddenly
all the other red underlines in the text disappear.

This is new feature request.

Any volunteers?

Using the Cocoa spell check functionality in a Carbon application is an example
Apple has used for Cocoa-Carbon integration.  See:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CarbonCocoaDoc/Articles/CocoaInCarbon.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002402-TP1

First step - make sure there is an acceptable way to use Cocoa in OOo macport.

I contacted one of the original implementers of spell check on OOO and he
offered this advice:

If you look at the lingucomponent module that includes with Hunspell, you can
see how almost any spellchecker can be interfaced.  Simply copy the module and
use it as a model for interfacing to the MacOSX daemon.  The interface is what
you would expect.  It can register itself (so that users can enable or disable
that spellchecker), it gets called with a Unicode word and is asked to either 
spellcheck it or make a suggestion, etc.  There really isn't much to the
interface, all of the real work is done by the spellchecker itself.

.

CWS macosxspellchecker has been created with code to implement the spellchecker.
 I have tested en-US and fr, others are invited to test.

Please note:  If you do not do a full build you need to register the
libspell680mxi.dylib with regcomp for the MacSpellChecker class to be recognized.

Michael,

I have tested the fr version locally, and everything is ok. I have floowe your
progress with the code, and that's fine too ( a review is needed, anyway).
But as new feature, I fear they are "papers" to be created, with some ...
administrative stuff. 
The only wish I have is use the Mac OS X Dictionnary.

Last but not least: congratulations for your work :-)
 
P.S. : I now see why I did not receive the notification for the cws:
eric.bachard@free.fr is not the good email to be used. Can you please change for
ericb@openoffice.org ?  Thanks :-)

sorry

The cws has been updated, scp2 added, to deliver a separate dylib
"libmacosxspell680mxi.dylib", implementing the Mac OS X SpellChecker
functionality.  I am sure there are many things yet to correct, but its
basically working.

ericb->mikesic : can we consider the issue as fixed in macosxspellchecker cws ?
( urgent for integration )

added spec draft link

No problems reported from version August 29, 2007 until today - Sep 5, 2007

To avoid missing the deadline for Barcelone, I suggest you to set
macosxspellchecker as Ready for QA. 
Jogi told me the specs are on the way.

I have added the reviewd specification to the CVS; I have added ericb as iTeam
lead, mmp as UX man and TL as development member (review). Please feel free to
add your comments. (Enable red lining, please that msicotte is able to accept or
reject the changes!)

msicotte, after we get the OK from the rest of the i-Team, you could add or
reject the changes to the document under Edit / Changes / 'Accept or reject'

put the information on http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/index.html

UX and string review done.
Spec updated
