I ran a search and could not find any previous discussions along these lines.  If you have a good memory of such, please post a link to them here.

Nevertheless, until then...

It is pretty common in Bible Software to be able to save the workspace layout for not *just* *one* layout, but for *several*.  For instance, a user may want one setup for general Bible study, another for devotional reading, and yet another for intensive study.  While I find e-Sword a wonderful tool, it has limitations here that open a door of opportunity, for I find myself constantly having to re-arrange things, trying to remember how it worked well the previous time, tinkering, etc. and in the process, thus open myself up to more distractions and get far less accomplished than could be accounted for.  A good system should work together such away that the whole is more than a sum of the individual components.  While this statement may be true about e-Sword in many areas, and while e-Sword has very useful and advanced options to assist the user in configuring the screen, I believe there is one "liability" here that could be quickly turned into "an asset", using the popular parlance.

Perhaps all it will take is a great discussion here and the community will together agree this is needed.  A way to save the layouts and give them personalized names would be really awesome, just as is available with many other suites.

Also, as a subset of the overall workspace, I find the Parallel Bible can be a particularly helpful tool (especially when using all 8 columns at the same time).  However, it suffers from the same limitation.  For if I am preparing for a Sunday School lesson, for instance, I will want an entirely different setup (like maybe NASB - Greek - KJV - NKJV - ESV - LEB - NIV) than for when I am searching the use of a phrase through the translations through early translators (where I may select Vulgate - Wycliffe - Tyndale - Geneva - KJV - ESV, or such).  I guess I could keep my own list on notecards and try to carry those around, for I often forget what worked well last time and have to tinker around, but again, a way to save parallel bible layouts and name them would be awesome!

Finally, another limitation of the parallel Bible is that it works great if all eight translations are used, but the columns do not line up correctly if only four or six are used, and it can be a little dizzying trying to read the column title that is far to the left, in the middle of other translations, and to the top of the column one is working in (see illustration).  It is not imperative to keep several unused columns at the top and thus throw off the columns below, a simple small pull-down dialog for the next column would suffice to let users know they can fill in the next column, along with keeping this area open and unused  

Also, there is no way to drop one translation from the left or middle of a set in the Parallel Bible without it deleting all the selections to the right, perhaps including some I just painstakingly put in place.  While it may be desirable to have a button where a user can purposely clear all selections (complete with an "Are You Sure?" dialog and an "Undo" button), it's desirable that the program respond to the user and not vice-versa. For that matter, it would be great to allow the user to move these columns around in some way other than painstakingly re-choosing them from the pull-down lists, which can be particularly tedious where a large number of translations are in use.  

A way to save the users' preferred Parallel Bible layouts and give them personalized names would be really awesome, and it would be really cutting edge for e-Sword to have this feature of a layout-within-a-layout.  On second thought, one pricey suite I use does have something like this with its Bible Comparison feature, complete with keeping track of the Comparisons (i.e. Parallel Bibles) the user has used in the past.  It also allows the user to quickly change the order of translations by the user typing in common Acronyms, separated by a comma ("NIV84, NASB, KJV, ESV", etc.) rather than using pull-down menus.  However, this pricey suite does not have a user's community such as here at e-Sword and BibleSupport, and so it is taking awhile to garner enough interest in historical translations such as Wycliffe, Tyndale, Coverdale, etc. to get them available on that platform, while they have been available here now for some time.

I'm confident all reading this will see the immediate benefit to the improvements I'm suggesting.  Thank you!

This script doesn't work with e-Sword 10 files, it should be noted. Thanks.

I got the script to run on my Windows Vista (32 bit), and finally got it in the correct folder on my Droid, and got MySword to pull it up.  

It is not stated above, but during your changes to keep the thing running, you changed the name from an .exe extension to a .pl (perl) extension.  Although it was my first run with perl, it wasn't too difficult for someone who became very familiar with DOS and has some programming experience.  Otherwise, this is not a user-friendly process, though, and no reason it should be right now.  Nevertheless, my biggest hurdles were:

1)  getting new bible modules into the Droid's folder (they were not at all where it said it would be).  It was also 100% necessary to load the ES File Explorer from Google play and was more of a MySword alteration issue, because my computer read the file locations somewhat differently and didn't see everything ES File Explorer did.

2) My final hurdle was getting through all the Display Options on the MySword app to get the references to display properly (as in your sample from Matthew 11).

Thank you and many blessings!

Any word on a script for the e-Sword 10 modules?

Lots of great stuff here already.  However Lenski's commentary comes highly recommended--but pretty sure that's not going to happen--without some prayer coverage!  This is what the Library of Congress says copyrights (and bear in mind that according to what I've seen, Lenski's commentary was published posthumously in the said year, 1964, though he died in 1936):
 

NOW... something else that would be globally helpful for the entire e-Sword / Bible Support Network would be a way to tell us when flipping through resources whether and when we downloaded certain modules already (you have been keeping track of this with our account, right?  Or you could start soon, right?).  This will help us see if a module has been updated from the time we added it, and of course, also quickly tell us the likelihood that we are already running it on e-Sword.  

I run a very "loaded" version, and the e-Sword Library Manager was necessary to abbreviate and manage my tab-names, but I'm banking that a few others are doing the same and would like this feature.  Some of the expensive for-profit programs do something similar and "grey out" the purchase option for resources for which I already own a license, and thus I see this would be a help here, as well.
