I've downloaded the new version and had a good look at it.

The changes Rick made to the editors are really great. I have only one major criticism about them which is the ability to create and save Topic, Study Note, and Journal files with a unique file name has been removed. The problem with this is it doesn't give the user the ability to distinguish his/her notes. Moreover, because of the issue with these files becoming corrupted, it means the user will lose all data when just kept on the default file names. This really is a bad move that Rick has done, and before the final release of this version of e-Sword, this should be re-incorporated into the File Menu. That said, at the moment the only way around that is to rename to files to what one wishes them to be.

Has there been instances of corruption since the switch to SQLite database instead of Access? I've helped several people (who still use e-Sword 8) resolve corruption issues with Access. I'm yet to see a corruption issue with e-Sword 9's SQLite database?

It looks like the STEP Reader is gone. To some this will be missed. Although I don't use this feature, nevertheless there may be many who do. So, I don't know if this was/is a good thing or not. It'll be interesting to see the comments and reactions to this.

Hi Josh,
Oops! Looks like I missed that one out. Ta for that, mate.

Has there been instances of corruption since the switch to SQLite database instead of Access? I've helped several people (who still use e-Sword 8) resolve corruption issues with Access. I'm yet to see a corruption issue with e-Sword 9's SQLite database?

I've not heard any of it myself, but however I do believe its bad practice to save files just using the e-Sword generated default files. As a matter of good practice, file should be given their own unique filename, and I think this saves a great big headache should any data be lost as a result of a corrupted file. Saving work in one file, and especially when that file grows to be pretty large can and does cause problems. I don't think that SQLite database files would be an exception from that problem. Just a thought.

I will not lose any resources that I've paid for in making the switch to v10 will I? Is bookmarking available in v10 in the ref library?

Hi Wayne,
In short, Nope!

The long answer, No you won't.

Hi,
can someone with Windows XP check that they can create tables in study and topic notes, using both methods shown (fixed width of cell, and fit to width of page).

Also check in those views that when you right click and select "font" from that menu, that a dialog appears.

Also from that menu check that you can use the "Find..."

So this is just on XP, I know Windows 7 is fine.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Now I can stop copying and pasting notes into MS Word for my Sermons and Sunday School Lessons for half sheet formats (Check this format out: http://www.biblesupp...y&attach_id=151)

I just print, fold and slip my notes in my bible and go. Thanks Rick!

Question:

1. Will formatting allow date & time stamps for header/footers?

2. Will there be a button for capitalization: e.i.: initial Caps, Uppercase for titleing and sub-titling documents?

3. Will audio bible be considered like the sermons? Good for whill you're dressing and doing other things on Sunday Mornings.

4. Will my Prayer List have the ability to be locked for the protection personal business.

I have years of notes I will eventually move to the new Journal from my "Sermons.topx" & "Sunday School.topx"

This is awesome!

This happens on Windows 7, too. When you switch to a 2 column view, exit/restart e-Sword, the view changes back to a single column. The view is also reset when you change from one chapter to another. This is something for the developer to think about.
