Spell checking - .oxt?

Hi,

It seems as if the types of files ZRE is expecting in its Dictionary
folder in order to spell check are obsolete (.dic & .aff) because all
the Spanish downloads (and most probably all other downloads too) in
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/dictionary link to .oxt
files, which ZRE does not read and of course don't use to spell check.

Is this so? If it is, could we expect a version which supports .oxt
files? If not, where can I get the .dic & .aff files for es_UY
(Spanish_Uruguay), or at least for International Spanish?

Thanks for this great tool,

Gabriel

Internally, we use the DevExpress spell checker

They describe here how to use OXT files:

To quote:

You can use dictionaries from the OpenOffice.org project, available
for download at the Dictionaries page.
Change extension from .oxt to .zip and extract files from the
dictionary archive.
After unpacking, you'll find in the dictionaries folder a file with
the .dic extension, containing a list of words, and a file with
the .aff extension, containing grammar rules.

Excellent! Thanks for that.

But still after putting the .dic and .aff files inside ZRE's
Dictionaries folder, spell checking only works for en-US.

Some extra info:

This is the file I downloaded (as suggested from ZRE's "Edit project
settings" window) is: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/es_UY-dicts

The URL provided by DevExpress (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/
wiki/Dictionaries#Spanish_.28Spain.2C_....29) seems to have all of its
Spanish dictionaries links broken.

Any ideas of what could be causing ZRE to only spell check en-US?

Thanks,

Gabriel
