#28779 What's Still Broken As Of e-Sword 11.06?

Posted by Izajasz on 01 September 2016 - 11:10 AM in e-Sword Questions & Answers

One other odd little bug (though probably harmless):

 

4. After upgrading 11.05 to 11.06, I happened to notice in Windows Programs and Features that BOTH e-Sword 11.05 and e-Sword 11.06 were listed there as installed.

I then simply uninstalled 11.05 through the Windows dialogue, and as far as I can tell everything still seems to be working fine.

3. The Compare and Parallel tabs do not allow display of all Bibles. I currently have 41 Bibles installed [with tabs that work if I click on them]. However, if I go to the Parallel tab, the drop-down menu lists only 33 of these Bibles. I cannot choose any of the other ones for Parallel display. If I go to the Compare tab, again not all Bibles show up. If an OT verse, I see 21 Bibles - but I have 28 Bibles installed that should be showing the verse. If a NT verse, I see 27 Bibles - but I have 30 Bibles installed that should be appearing.

 

Update: Rick Meyers answered that Compare & Parallel are limited to HTML-based modules.




#28732 What's Still Broken As Of e-Sword 11.06?

If this is also the latest format of module that you have downloaded? and you still have an issue, I suggest you report to Rick Meyers.

The Bible module you mention is working ok for me.

 

Point number 2 above (accented letters displaying as "?") has now been fixed on my system after several messages back and forth with Rick Meyers. The conflict was with this Windows setting: "Language for non-Unicode programs". Setting that to English solved the problem. [Thus I imagine that the French and German modules in question may be HTML but non-Unicode (??). Note that other languages always worked fine on my system: Russian, Hebrew, Polish, etc.]

Point 2.

Is your Windows 10 none English. It appears like an encoding issue.

 

Yes, it is an English Win10 system.

I also have other input languages, but the main language is English.

I usually use the US Intl keyboard setting; tried setting this instead to the simpler US English keyboard [with restart], but the problem persists.




#28708 What's Still Broken As Of e-Sword 11.06?

Posted by Izajasz on 25 August 2016 - 10:12 AM in e-Sword Questions & Answers

I am new to e-Sword, so I cannot guarantee that every one of the following issues is a genuine (or unknown) bug. However, I have not been able to solve these problems using either eSword 11.05 or 11.06 (Win10 64).

 

1. I have the same problem as JPG above with Hebrew (and other) files. They display in a font that is different than the chosen font.

 

2. Possibly related to #1: In many texts, accented letters do not display properly but instead appear as "?". For me this is the case with French and German Bibles. For example, the Louis Segond translation (file frenchls.bblx) looks like this: "Et tu iras jusqu'? Babylone; L? tu seras d?livr?e, C'est l? que l'?ternel te rach?tera de la main de tes ennemis."

 

3. The Compare and Parallel tabs do not allow display of all Bibles. I currently have 41 Bibles installed [with tabs that work if I click on them]. However, if I go to the Parallel tab, the drop-down menu lists only 33 of these Bibles. I cannot choose any of the other ones for Parallel display. If I go to the Compare tab, again not all Bibles show up. If an OT verse, I see 21 Bibles - but I have 28 Bibles installed that should be showing the verse. If a NT verse, I see 27 Bibles - but I have 30 Bibles installed that should be appearing.

 

Many thanks for any help / apologies if any of these are not genuine bugs!




#28706 What Modules do you want for e-Sword

Posted by Izajasz on 25 August 2016 - 08:18 AM in e-Sword Modules / Resources

Great question! :) Emanuel Tov's _Parallel Aligned Hebrew Aramaic and Greek Texts of Jewish Scripture_. This resource is an essential aid for all those interested in the original Jewish-Greek linguistic context of LXX and NT - and thus the original meanings of the Biblical texts. I already posted that request here, with info:

#28701 Post e-Sword Module Requests Here

Posted by Izajasz on 24 August 2016 - 06:23 PM in Module Requests

I am new to e-Sword and BibleSupport and have been very impressed!

One very valuable resource that I have not been able to find here is Emanuel Tov's _Parallel Aligned Hebrew Aramaic and Greek Texts of Jewish Scripture_. This resource is an essential aid for all those interested in the original Jewish-Greek linguistic context of LXX and NT - and thus the original meanings of the Biblical texts.

The 1st edition is freely available at:

http://ccat.sas.upen...lical/parallel/

The 2nd edition would probably cost money.

I noticed that another commentator also asked about this resource a couple years ago, but I didn't see a response. Does anyone know: a) Has this resource already been developed into an e-Sword module? B) Is anyone undertaking or interested in undertaking such development?

Many thanks!
