Topic: Dealing with dictionary path missing error

I recently ran dictionary updates to bring our Recorder up to date. All went well. Having finished with the files I deleted the folder of dictionary updates. The next time I tried to open Recorder I got the 'dictionary path is missing or incorrect' error and checking the forum saw that restoring the dictionary updates folder would resolve it. I restored the folder and the error went away and I was able to use Recorder. However, because I only expected the folder to be temporary I had opted to download the files to the desktop so now I am stuck with a dictionary updates folder on my desktop. Is there any way to resolve the path error and delete this folder or, at least move it so it is off my desktop? I share a PC so really don't want it there forever. Or will it have to stay until the next dictionary update? Thanks.

Re: Dealing with dictionary path missing error

In  all my years using Recorder i didn't know it did this! I have always assumed that once read the files were no longer required.

I assume Kate resolved this but if anyone else is stumbling in the dark it is simple enough to move the folder to somewhere you can keep retain it then update the 'Dictionary Path' value in the Recorder 6 registry. (Software > Dorset Software > Recorder 6 > Settings).
