@liberodark Thanks a lot for looking into this.

The spellcheck issue seems to be a permissions problem. Typora creates the folder ~/.config/Typora/typora-dictionaries and then tries to download the dictionaries there.

In my system that folder is created without write permissions (only read and execute permissions for everybody). If you give it write permissions then Typora installs the dictionaries with no problem.

@npulidomateo Thank you

What do you think with this :

launchScript = writeTextFile {
  name = "typora-launcher";
  executable = true;
  text = ''
    #!${stdenv.shell}
    
    # Configuration directory setup
    XDG_CONFIG_HOME=''${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}
    TYPORA_CONFIG_DIR="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Typora"
    TYPORA_DICT_DIR="$TYPORA_CONFIG_DIR/typora-dictionaries"
    
    # Remove existing read-only dictionary directory if it exists
    if [ -d "$TYPORA_DICT_DIR" ]; then
      rm -rf "$TYPORA_DICT_DIR"
    fi
    
    # Create config directories with proper permissions
    mkdir -p "$TYPORA_CONFIG_DIR"
    mkdir -p "$TYPORA_DICT_DIR"
    chmod 755 "$TYPORA_CONFIG_DIR"
    chmod 777 "$TYPORA_DICT_DIR"
    
    # Read user flags if they exist
    if [ -f "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/typora-flags.conf" ]; then
      TYPORA_USER_FLAGS="$(sed 's/#.*//' "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/typora-flags.conf" | tr '\n' ' ')"
    fi
    
    exec ${typoraFHS}/bin/typora-fhs "$@" $TYPORA_USER_FLAGS
  '';
};

@liberodark Sorry just read this. I like your suggestion better than mine. Let's go with yours.

[npulidomateo]

@liberodark I checked again and Typora seems to create TYPORA_CONFIG_DIR already with write permission, so we only need to address TYPORA_DICT_DIR. I just tested it and chmod 755 "$TYPORA_DICT_DIR" already seems to work so 777 might be overkill?

Thanks again and good night!

[npulidomateo]

Looks good to me.
