Hi Brent
Please, can you help with two questions?
1. Whenever T3 is open, no matter in which program I am, if I press the backspace (that is, that key that deletes the last character) an attention window will appear saying "RTF Not Available in the Clipboard". That's really annoying. Right now I'm using v3.46. I'm not sure with what version it began to happen, but certainly it was recently, it never happened with the previous versions.
2. I hadn't installed T4 until today. I won't bother you with a lot of questions, since I will have to read all the documentation and the threads about it first, but I do have one question: is there a way to copy the list of references from the right panel, as can be done in T3?
Thank you!

Hi bbacle
I'm glad it's fixed.
It's not that weird, it's an intentional feature. I guess to prevent the use of modules that violate copyright, modules with the same abbreviations as the official ones are blocked and are not displayed. Just change the abbreviation and it works.

Tried the Tab Renamer, and changed it to NKJVe as suggested, and it is now working in eSword.
Weird.

Hi ApologetixFan
If that module was bought from estudysource, you should ask them as Josh suggests.
But if that is a module you built yourself (that is, it's not the official module), you need to change its abbreviation, since e-Sword won't display a module with that abbreviation unless it's the official one. You need to change the NKJV to something else (e.g. NKJVe).
You can use the e-Sword Tab Renamer tool from the downloads section to do that.

Hi Bradley
I have downloaded (just now) both the MLV and ToY+, and am not having this problem. Can you please point me to the chapters where this is happening?
Regards,
Carlos
According to the emailer, when the MLV is selected, only the first two verses of each chapter will show up. When the MLV is removed, all the verses are visible per chapter. I tested this personally, and discovered the same issue.

New e-Sword Downloads
Hi Stephen
Thank you, this is useful.
Just a small detail: the UTF codes can be used in RTF too, but they need to be converted to decimal (they are hexadecimal in your list). I mean, aleph can be represented as \'e0 or as \u1280 (which is the decimal value of 0500).
The RTF notation will only work if you specify the text is Hebrew. The UTF text will work anyway, but if you use the search function it will not find anything.

Carlos

#6705 Trim RTF in Tooltip NT

Hi Josh
I have read your Tooltip NT Guide and find it extremely useful. While most of the options in Tooltip NT are easy to understand, you mention many interesting points that save a lot of time.
I didn't find, however, any explanation about the "Trim RTF" feature in the Tools menu. I have tried that with different texts, but I don't see what it does. Could you or Brent please explain?
Thanks!

e-Sword Tools & Utilities
Hi Ken
Thanks Patch, I downloaded the tool and it is very cool. A fantastic tool for topics, commentaries, bibles, devotionals and such. What I was hoping to do was to extract all of my study notes out of the underlying sqllite database.
Tooltip Tool is not just for building new modules. You can use it to open an existing module, and it will show all your notes as a single RTF document. You can print that or export it to any word proccesor. I think that's exactly what you are asking for.
You have that options at Modules - Notes - Read notes file.
Have a look at it.
Regards,
Carlos

e-Sword Questions & Answers
Hi Jonathon
One new "feature" in v10.0.7 is that it blocks some resources by abbreviation. For instance, if you have a dictionary titled WordStudy, it won't appear in your list of dictionaries, unless you change the abbreviation to something else. I guess this doesn't happen if the file is the premium module.
Regards,
Carlos
Every time Rick releases a new version of e-Sword, it contains several things that he doesn't mention.
I started this thread, to document things I notice, that I don't remember being in earlier versions of e-Sword.

#10673 How to reduce huge files

Module Requests
Hi ifffam
You are right, the size of those Bibles is doubled. The reason is they were old e-Sword 8 files that were converted to e-Sword 9 format using an utility that creates databases in UTF16 format, that takes exactly double amount of space than normal text. Actually, the text is normal text, but the database reserves double space because it thinks it's UTF16.
It's not difficult to export the text to a new database set up as UTF8, and it's size will be cut by half. It took me a couple minutes to convert the LXX+WH+-97.bblx module, and its size is now reduced to 33Mb.
You can download the reduced file from http://www.mediafire...22b563o6fjbsrmp
If anybody wants to create the installer and update the existing file in BibleSupport's Download area, that would be nice.
I was thinking maybe some of the programmers here could write a small utility that would read all the modules in the e-Sword folder and in case they are in an UTF16 database, convert them to UTF8. That would save a lot of space and would allow e-Sword to handle the modules faster.
Regards,
Carlos
I've found a couple of files that, once unzipped, occupy around 80 Mb: the first is an interlinear hebrew bible study (HBS+ I believe...), and the other, iwh+p (there used to be another, called iwh+_97 or -97, of a similar size). [...]. Does anyone know how to verify if indeed those two huge bibles, HBS+ and iwh+p, are two or three-folded, and to reduce them accordingly?

#10918 Version field in the Details table and direction of Hebrew text

e-Sword Tools & Utilities
Hi All
I'd like to share something that I found. Maybe it's useful for someone, and maybe someone else can throw more light on it.
Recently I noticed some of my Hebrew dictionaries (I made them myself, not from this forum) show the Hebrew text in the wrong direction, that is, left to right.
When I tried an older version of those same dictionaries, the Hebrew letters were ok, right to left. But when I compared the text from the older and newer versions, they were the same codes in the same order. I used this kind of format:
{\f2 \'e0\'c8\'e1}
All the settings in the old and the new file were exactly the same, but if I copied the text from the old version and pasted it in the newer module, the Hebrew text was inverted.
Then I realized the difference: in the Details table, the value of the Version field in the old files was "2", while in the newer files I had put "3". I always thought this field contained just a module version, for updating purposes. But it seems it's something entirely different. I tried replacing "3" with "2.2", and now all the Hebrew text is displaying correctly.
Can somebody explain what the Version settings really is for?
Thanks!

More information.
I wrote to Rick Meyers regarding this and his answer was:
Version should only be 3 if images are embedded, otherwise leave it empty or set it to 2.
So Version contains some internal RTF specifications versions, rather than a module version.
That implies that, unless corrected, you cannot have a dictionary with images and Hebrew text at the same time.

Carlos

Hi Jonathon
I changed to 2.2 because I still thought it was a version number, and it works. I think e-Sword ignores anything you have written there unless it's a "3".

Are you using "2", or "2.2" for Hebrew?
