e-Sword 12.0.1 is now available for download. I'm using it now, and I'm impressed. I haven't found any problems yet, but I'll take a hard look. First impression:  WINNER, and I like the new themes.

I didn't find a problem one, but that doesn't mean more checking isn't needed. Step and Topics works just fine, and I've not received any error messages. I have donated numerous times in the past, but I decided it was time to donate again. I donated $30 and I think it would be a good idea for all of us to donate to show our appreciation and pay for whatever new software Brother Rick had to buy. In the meantime, enjoy the new e-Sword. I'm running the latest version of Windows 10 just for information.

is anyone else having font rendering issues? Got e-Sword 11.2.2 running great, but the fonts are not rendering properly (none of them).

 

Did you change the default fonts already installed in e-Sword? If not, I don't have a clue what could be wrong. Rebooting sometimes fixes all kinds of problems, so try that.

yes! that worked!   Thank you Thomas. Your memory was better than you thought

 

I had to turn on  hidden files, then my path was just a bit different, but I found it as you said.  Double-clicking on the exe file worked.     I made an alias and put it on my desktop, for convenience, and double clicking on the alias also works.

 

Thank you so much     I pray you feel better soon

You're most welcome - I'm glad it's working for you. Thank you for the prayers.

So I decided to install Wine and run the PC version of e-Sword on my Mac running OSX 10.12.6 Sierra instead of the eSword X version (more accessible layout, less clicking around, more modules available, etc...just personal preference)

Successfully installed Wine, the Stable 4.0 version

Successfully went to the e-Sword website, dowloaded the e-Sword PC version 11.22

Successfully (I thought), ran the "setup1122.exe" file through Wine.  It went very smoothly, ran the Install Wizard, finished installing. Great!  (for those of you wondering, apparently this is the latest/only version available for download from the e-Sword website?)

 

then.... I could not for the life of me figure out how to actually run e-Sword from there!  Two files were installed on my desktop but neither of them will execute:

 

e-Sword.desktop     (appears to be a terminal file?)

e-Sword.Ink

 

Things I've already tried:

  1)  neither file will open when I click on them. Error message says "no application set up to run this file"

  2) running a command line from Wine  in Terminal:   wine e-sword.exe   (doesn't work, says it can't find the path)

  3) searching for where the program files were installed (can't find any. A Spotlight search for .exe  doesn't bring up any e-sword files)

  4) tried dragging and dropping the files onto the Wine program, but it wouldn't accept them

 

 

So where the heck is this thing?  And how do I run it?  It "pretended" to install the setup1122.exe file and the wizard ran just fine.....Suggestions?   where do I go from here?

 

Note:

e-Sword X v6.2 is already installed prior to this and I didn't uninstall it because it's a paid-for program through the AppStore.  But not trying to run it through WINE anyways.

 

Thanks in advance

The exe file for e-Sword should be at:

/home/thomas/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/e-Sword

Replace thomas with your user name. I'm sick and I don't remember what I did from here to get an icon to click on the desktop. It will run from here by just double clicking the file. I'm sorry that I wasn't more help. I feel awful. Maybe the system will add an icon to click - I just can't remember.

I don't do screen recordings. My text message will have to be sufficient, at least from me.

Hey, thanks for sharing this info ! I actually found it while doing a google search about running e sword on Zorin, which is the Linux flavor I am currently trying out. Until a few days ago I didn't know anything about Linux, but I decided to get into it because I want to be rid of Win 7 before the updates expire.       It's working fine for me btw - not trying the multi-boot thing though - lol.

 

There aren't really any Windows programs I want to be able to run on Linux except for e sword, so when I get to that part of the change-over I'm going to give it a shot. :-)

You're most welcome. I hope that things go well for you. I left Windows behind and don't regret it.

Brent,

You will remain in my prayers. May God give you comfort and healing.

Could this be an adblocker or firewall issue? I ask because e-Sword is calling out for the ad. Maybe it's required before installation can be completed. I'm on Ubuntu Linux and am running an older version of e-Sword.

Brothers and Sisters,

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! May God richly bless you and your families this holiday season and for the coming New Year.

I will pray for your continued progress. Merry Christmas!

I don't know how many threads we have on this same subject. No, it's not available for e-Sword, and it won't be available for e-Sword. If you want to buy it for use on TheWord, use the link in the first post of this thread.

How would I contact Rick?

Brent,

I will be praying for you and your family. May God give you comfort and strength in the days ahead. I will also be praying that God gives you healing.
