No matter how many times I try to implement a shared dictionary so my company stops being flagged as a typo it just doesn't work out for me. Anyone have a tutorial for it?

Here's what I did:
1. Go to Preferences > Spelling > Select Project
2. Add typo to dictionary via alt + enter. I see that it generated a file with [coltonidle.xml].
3. I change the name of the file to "shared_dictionary.xml"
4. Now the typo still shows up. I don't want every user'sname.xml to be checked into source control
Anyone figure this out yet?

Well. That doesn't look promising. 😭

the ticket says that it will just work if you keep the file named coltonidle.xml

@christophsturm thanks. I guess I just don't want our dev names there though (although I understand @yole’s point about mitigating the chance of merge conflicts). We legitimately just want a single shareddictionary.xml that includes the company name. lol

You could just create a user named shareddictionary and open the project there :)

Would my teammates stop getting spelling errors once any xml is checked in?

[ephemient]

if your teammates are also named shareddictionary, yes

Looks like I can just add a .dic file?

[christophsturm]

idea uses all the dictionaries with all your names, so i guess yes they will stop getting spelling errors

I tried with a friend. I created a shareddictionary.xml in dictionaries... and push up that change, and typos disappeared on his end. 👍
