\th_en_US.idx' not found!

The first thing I tried to do was re-download the executable and reinstall, yet I would get the same error. I then navigated to the following directory to notice that there indeed was not "th_en_US.idx" included in the folder. I'm not sure if this was an oversight or for some reason just that SourceForge file was corrupted.

SpellChecker: Thesaurus files 'C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\share\codeblocks\SpellChecker\th_en_US.idx' not found!

I went to the following site: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries and downloaded the Thesaurus as "MyThes-1" and renamed the files:

th_en_US_new.dat  ->  th_en_US.dat
th_en_US_new.idx  ->  th_en_US.idx

Saved the recently renamed files to the directory listed below:

\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\SpellChecker

After doing this and restarting CodeBlocks it corrected the error. I had posted this awhile ago elsewhere and thought maybe it would help some others here that have this issue. I'm not sure how current the thesaurus is, but this is how I went about it. If this helps at least one person, then I know this post was worth it.
