Where is the saved dictionary located in TeXstudio

Question

I import the open office dictionary at Configure Texstudio->Language Checking->Default Language->Import Dictionary, and it sets "Spelling Dictionary Directories"="C:\Program Files\texstudio\dictionaries;[txs-settings-dir]/dictionaries".

I wonder where is the saved dictionary located and in which files.

Is it the location of the saved dictionary? Can it be changed? — Eugene Zhang, Nov 02 '21 at 20:11
Yes. For changing the path, you should rewrite the [txs-settings-dir]/dictionaries in "Spelling Dictionary Directories" setting, and then move %appdata%\texstudio\dictionaries there. — hair-splitter, Nov 03 '21 at 08:03
Run explorer %appdata%\texstudio commandline, and then you can see the dictionaries directory, which is moveable into your preferred directory. — hair-splitter, Nov 03 '21 at 17:24
@hair-splitter, thanks. Do you know which file in that folder contains the user-saved dictionary? — Eugene Zhang, Nov 03 '21 at 17:55
All of them. The default dictionaries are in C:\Program Files\texstudio\dictionaries — hair-splitter, Nov 03 '21 at 18:00
So I want to move the saved dictionary to another computer, I just copy everything in %appdata%\texstudio to the same location of another computer, right? — Eugene Zhang, Nov 03 '21 at 18:18

Important to know is the location of "texstudio.ini" in my Ubuntu OS installation it was located here:
"/home/your_home_dir_name/.config/texstudio/texstudio.ini".

The containing directory is equal to the value of the variable: "txs-settings-dir", e.g.:
"txs-settings-dir" = "/home/hans/.config/texstudio"
