I am using Windows 7 64 bit upgraded from Vista 64 bit, both home premium. (I save my Ubuntu for banking business ONLY.)
I checked on permissions in files like the dictionary and BETA-sigi.ini. They are full control, so that doesn't seem to be the issue.

The preferences button open the path I listed previously just fine. No troubles there. I wrote a small text file there no troubles.

Open dictionary directory opens to Favorites, not to actually dictionary location. Can navigate there, but shows no files when I click on dictionary directory. I know they are there because I opened them up in Notepad++ and saw they were there.

There is a default dictionary there for user dictionary named default.

I did add a test_word. It showed up in the user dictionary, but all my previous words are gone now...BAH HUMBUG. But it is not listed in the preferences dialog! I feel like Charlie Brown and Lucy with the football. (I don't know whether that means a thing to someone who lives in the UK!)

One thing that is different on my system from some is my documents all come from drive J:, which is a separate partition which I use only for my documents, so that if Windows blows up it will not take my documents with it...though it is all one hard drive, so it it fails, I will have to reload from my little 250 GB USB drive. Sigil lives along with its files on my C: drive, the Windows partition.

Where is the Open Dictionary Directory set, in the ini.file? Because it does not work.
