Fedora is trying to unify desktop application on the same set of dictionaries, (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureDictionary) to that end here is a patch that enables xmlcopyeditor to build against and use enchant instead of aspell directly. If enchant is not available then it build as it does at the moment, but otherwise it uses enchant which under Fedora and others will back onto the same set of dictionaries that OpenOffice.org, Firefox, GNOME apps and KDE apps use by default

Unfortunately this is not working for xmlcopyeditor 1.2.0.9-2 amd64 on Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander with libenchant1c2a:amd64 1.6.0-10 amd64. It reports (No dictionaries found) while other applications on this system such as gedit can use Hunspell spell checking via Enchant without a problem. Please reopen and fix this issue.

According to the package information at
http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/xmlcopyeditor,
that version wasn't linked with libenchant. I'm afraid that the problem you encountered might be a different one.

I just tested version 1.2.0.9-2_amd64 on a virtual machine. It worked for me. Could you list the steps to reproduce the problem?

Ubuntu 15.10, apt-get install xmlcopyeditor, version 1.2.1.3-1build1 gets installed. Make sure also is installed: libhunspell-1.3-0 and libenchant1c2a and hunspell-en-us do not have dictionaries installed for aspell!

Start xmlcopyeditor, create a new XML file. Add something comparable to < a >chiar< /a > (spelling error of chair) and run spell checker. Spell checkers reports "(No dictionaries found)". All other applications that do use hunspell via enchant work on this system.

Please reopen and retest without any aspell dictionaries.

Per http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/xmlcopyeditor, it was not linked with libenchant

That explains it. Can it get linked again to enchant in the build?

I'm afraid that you have to contact the maintainer at Ubuntu.
