I'm using the appimage Linux version and every time I run it and start a new document, it wants to use US English to spellcheck.
Given that it remembers that I don't like the 'earthquake' of power mode, it would be nice if there was a way to get it to remember a different default language.
That ability to remember I've turned it off does mean that I'm not asking for screenshake to be set to zero as a default, but I am surprised that it isn't. Do other people like it?
When you change to UK english, does the spellcheck appear to be correct (using UK spellings)?
If you make another settings change right now (like toggling autosave on or off), exit, and reopen Deepdwn, does that setting change “stick”, or has it reset back to the original value?
Is your settings file writeable? (~/.config/Deepdwn/settings.json)
When you make a change to your spellcheck language settings, is the settings file updated? spellcheck languages are stored under the spellcheck_languages key.
Yes, it spellchecks UK English when asked.
$ls -lha ~/.config/Deepdwn/settings.json
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ian ian 521 Dec 25 13:01 /home/ian/.config/Deepdwn/settings.json
If I look inside, I can see
"spellcheck_languages": [
"en-GB"
],
If I close the program and reopen, that's still there, but Tools/Preferences/Spellcheck languages only shows US English (and all my nice UK English documents show spelling errors!) As I say, other settings seem to be remembered successfully.
And they 're both zero length files that get updated with each run:
$ ls -lha .config/Deepdwn/logs/

It's painfully slow on low spec PCs, isn't it? None of the CPU cores is especially busy, there's plenty of spare RAM, so I'm guessing it would really like to avoid Intel integrated graphics...
Similar but different: if I delete US English and have UK English, what's in the settings.json file is both, and restarting results in it being US English only.
My PC is Linux MATE 21.1 (based on Ubuntu 22.04) with 'a reasonable for 2018' Ryzen and Nvidia graphics card. The other one is Ubuntu MATE 22.04, with
a i3-5005U and its integrated graphics.
