I haven't checked yet to see if Pidgin has a similar mechanism to reference a common portable install of Aspell. Perhaps the config could even make it into the Notepad++ Portable v4.3 installer. I have not yet tested with Notepad++ v4.3, but the v1.2 plugin works with v4.2.2 (the current PortableApps version). So, you'll have to copy the Aspell files to X:\PortableApps\Aspell (19 char relative path) rather than X:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\Aspell (31 char relpath). Unfortunately, the config-file parser has a 29-char limit for the actual path. Then create or edit config\SpellChecker.ini, adding a Relative Path line like below: \App\DefaultData\settings) because it's not actually used. You can delete the SpellChecker.ini here (and under. Go to that directory to make these instructions shorter. To make it work with Aspell portable, extract the v1.2 SpellChecker.dll to X:\PortableApps\Notepad++Portable\App\Notepad++\plugins (replacing the old one). Note that there is also a new Notepad++ ( v4.3 2) available here, but v4.3 still includes v1.1 of the Spell-Checker plugin. Newest release of Spell-Checker plugin ( v1.2 0) available here.
