Description registration000 2012-08-02 14:29:29 UTC
I have installed AOO 3.4.0. Supposedly over OOo 3.x
As I started the office for the very first after the installation ca. 85MB of free space was away.

There are sv1jvdb.tmp_, sv1jw53.tmp_, sv1jxsk.tmp_ and sv1k01p.tmp_ folders under
"C:\Documents and Settings\a\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\extensions\tmp\extensions\". They contain dict-en-au-2008-12-15.oxt, dict-en-nz-2008-12-03.oxt, dict-en.oxt and en_CA_2_0_0.oxt folders, each >20MB in size.
 
Each of this folders contains a (sometimes renamed) copy of th_en_US_v2.dat (ca. 18MB) (th_en_CA_v2.dat have some differences with other three).
In Extension Manager I see "American English Spell Checking 1.0" which can be removed, but no options to remove Australian, New Zealand or Canadian English.

It would be nice to
 - control for which "Englishs" spell checking is installed
 - have only one th_en_US_v2.dat file
 - have the set of base spell checker files once for all users and only the user dictionary files per user.

Good concern to raise.  It is even more urgent when working with roaming profiles.
