Changes in Dictonaries in FM 10/11

[Georg Eck]

Hello everybody.

That's not a question - that's a little story about changes with
Dictionaries in FM 10/11:
Perhaps, that is useful for users they want to update from FM 8 to
10/11.
Somebody did successful worked with user.dct and site.dct in the past,
but what is new in FM 10 or 11?

At first save your user.dct and site.dct (or other dictionaries)!

*********************
Default maker.ini in $fmhome:

[Files]
;-------------------------------- Files
-------------------------------------
; If it is not an absolute path, then it is relative to the FMHome
directory.
UserDictionary=
SiteDictionary=dict\site.dct

If there is no link to a path/file for an UserDictionary, you can find
the default directory in: 
C:\Users\[name]\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics:
\Dictionaries (FM10)
\UserDictionaries (Fm 11)
   \ FMUserDictionary 
            \all    added.txt  >  for the added words/phrases
                      excluded.txt >  for the excluded words/phrases 
            \de_DE   etc.     >  devided for every Langauge

More: Soon in our http://WORKFLOWblog.de (currently in German only)

You can find the SiteDictionary (see maker.ini) at $fmhome\dict with
site.dct,
but it should be in \FMSiteDictionary in AppData or it would be better
for a workgroup 
it should be on a shared/server disk.

Question: Where are saved the Standard Language Dictionaries?
Since FrameMaker 9 there is a central path: 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Linguistics

********************************************
Note: There is an additional maker.ini for every user, you can find it
here:
C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\11
All settings in user maker.ini are winning about the central maker.ini
in $fmhome.

You can delete the user maker.ini, at next start of FrameMaker, 
FrameMaker will create a new maker.ini for the user (Please save the
user maker.ini at first!)
