@mrmikel - it does sound a bit like paths on your machine are the cause of your spelling woes.

As for where Sigil pulls its directory location from, it comes from Qt via QDesktopServices:: DataLocation, which varies depending on the OS. The "Open Dictionary Location" feature should open up where Sigil expects to find your hunspell_dictionaries subfolder (not your "user_dictionaries" subfolder which should be a sibling of that one).

Perhaps the changing of paths on your machine has not changed all the necessary locations that Qt is using internally to resolve those locations or something. Looking at the source code for Qt, on Windows that is a win api call to GetSpecialFolderPath for the local appdata folder.
