Hi,

I'm working on OSX 10.11.6, having aspell installed via macports. I'd like to use the \
TexStudio LaTeX spell checking functionality with British English and –ise endings \
*only*. Per default, TexStudio provides spell checking for British English including \
–ize *and* –ise spellings. For using custom spell checking in TexStudio I need to \
                provide a .dic file that contains a list of words like this
--------------------------
onionskin/MS
onshore
on-stage
opaque/PTSY
--------------------------
and an .aff file with content like this
--------------------------
SFX M Y 1
SFX M 0 's . 
SFX B Y 48
SFX B e able [^acegilotu]e
--------------------------

I realised that aspell provides dictionaries for en_GB-ise, which is exactly what I \
want. My idea is now to extract that information from aspell into files that \
TexStudio understands. I installed aspell via macports and tried the command aspell \
dump master en_GB-ise > en_GB-ise.dic which works, but there are no affixes in the \
wordlist. On this website ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/0index.html
I found English dictionaries that contain an ‘en_affix.dat' file which seems to be \
what TexStudio expects as an .aff file. But how do I force aspell to use this affix \
file when creating a wordlist? I know there is the option ‘affix-compress true', \
but I couldn't make this option working for me and honestly, I don't really know \
where exactly to use it.

Regards
Tristan
