Hello,
I try to get the thesaurus working under LyX.
My main question is at the end between the ##########
The User guide tells me

I am working with
LyX Version 2.1.2
and it looks like it is not there whereas it was in lyx-2.0.6 (see file:///home/wolfgang-o/.local/share/Trash/files/lyx-2.0.6/src/Thesaurus.o
etc
#########################################################################
I am a bit confused and would like to know which path of which thesaurus file(s) -english- I have to include in the Lyx>preferences>paths>thesaurus dictionaries
and where I can find it in my present 2.1.2 version of LyX
##########################################################################

The files LyX is looking for are the .idx and .dat files for the given language
in the directory you've entered in "LyX>Preferences>Paths>Thesaurus dictionaries".
Both path's "/usr/share/mythes" and "/usr/share/myspell/dicts" should work -
if the containing files "th_en_US_v2.dat" resp. "th_en_US_v2.idx" are the same.

With your directory contents you should have thesauri for US english and german.

Regards,
Stephan

N.B. LyX on Linux doesn't come with spell checker dictionaries and thesauri bundled.
They always have to be provided by language packs or manually on this platform.
