https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360954

            Bug ID: 360954
           Summary: digikam - no spell checking when entering meta data
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.0.0
          Platform: Chakra
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Tags
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

When entering meta data like title or caption there is no spell check anymore
in the Plasma5 version of digikam. Neither could I find a way to switch it on
or off.  As much as I remember spell checking was offered in the digikam4
series.

Reproducible: Always

The spell checking is a KDE library only feature, through KTextEdit widget.

In the goal to port step by step to pure Qt5 implementation, KTextEdit have
been replaced by QLineEdit everywhere, which do not provide this feature yet.

Already thought it has to do with missing features en kf5. Thanks for the quick
response.

Definitively, we will not restore this feature with KDE API support.

To improve portability, digiKam has dropped 80% of KDE dependencies. We are now
able to generate easily an OSX and Windows installer.

The Speelchecker from KLineEdit or KTextEdit add a lots of extra dependencies
which are a lots to time to solve.

We need definitilvely to reduce the compilation puzzle introduced by KDE API.

And if we can finally provide a pure Qt5 application in the future we will do
it.

So, now we use exclusively QLineEdit and QTextEdit widgets in digiKam. If you
want in the futre to have a spellchecking in digiKam, report this problem to QT
team to see this feature implemented in next Qt release.
