I just installed 10.0.3. It wiped out my macros again <sigh> and a reinstall didn't fix them.

But worse yet it no longer recognizes some of my commentaries (ones I got here) and at least one dictionary...the invaluable Brown Driver Briggs Hebrew Lexicon Thayer's Greek Definitions, and the Strong's King James Concordance with TVM. all in one dictionary. It also no longer reads several of my topx files (most notably the Ante Nicene fathers series.

It's a strange thing.  10.0.3 on my Win7 machine anda new install doesn't display text in these commentaries:

Cambridge NT
F.B. Hole
Gaebelin
Gnomon
Guzik
Ironside
Hodge
ICCNT
Kelly
Dunagan
Poole
Morgan
Pulpit
ExpGNT
Alford GNT

But my BDB and Ante-Nicene Fathers, for example, work fine.

Strange. (And annoying, of course)

**QC ISSUE**

10.0.3 wiped out several user made modules. Examples (but not limited to):

commentaries: alford, cambridgent, csmith, Nicoll's expositors, f.b.hole, gaebelin, gnomon, guzik, etc.
dictionaries: ahlb, bdbtskjctvm, TOJC,

Dave

NOTE: it appears all official resources are working, and some third party resources are working

SECOND NOTE: I reinstalled 10.0.2 over the top of 10.0.3, and those resources are working again.

Confirmed and reported. It's the changes made to the rich edit control, I suspect.

Edit: Just to be clear, e-Sword recognizes the resources and even indicates a comment for the verse is available with the (i) icon but no text is visible.

Posting this on behalf of someone who doesn't want to "complain" but wants their viewpoint heard regarding their large library. I personally don't think the proper technical answer is folder categorization--I think the long-term answer is for the Reference Library to eventually support labels or categories.

Josh,

I sort .topx files with multiple folders. Something like this (my "root" directory is "...Documents\e-Sword"):

...\Gospels_Acts
...\Pauline_Epistles
...\General_Epistles_Revelation
...\Eschatology
...\Biographies
...\Arthur_Pink
...etc...

My filing system has been personalized due to the fact I have a huge library. I like my filing system and don't want to change it. Since the eSword Reference Library now recognizes only one folder option for all of those files, I am going to have 2,500+ resources in one unwieldly folder. I don't like it.

Does Windows not suffer from inode issues when there are too many files in a directory?

• Install the program on a class 1 type 1 USB drive;
• Be sure to have skipped at least two, and preferably three or four version number upgrades of e-Sword;
• Have at least ten thousand resources in your resource directory;
• Install AV software that checks each byte that is read, and each byte that is written to each drive;
• Install a firewall that checks each write to the hard drive;
• Use Intel chips;
• Use Win98 SE;
• Have less than 256 MB RAM installed;
• Make sure that at least 16 MB RAM is flaky;
• Ensure that the hard drive fragmentation exceeds 50%;
• Ensure that less than 5% of the hard drive is empty;
• Ensure that less than 2% of the space of at least one partition is free;
• Use a 60 GB hard drive, that has two 30 GB partitions on it;
• Watch a video on the computer, whilst waiting for e-Sword to start;
• Do the upgrade on Patch Tuesday, having skipped the upgrades offered from the four or five previous Patch Tuesday updates;
• Include a number of resources that almost, but don't quite, adhere to e-Sword Resource Specification 2;

I love it!

I think the maximum for a fat32 system is 65,000ish and for NTFS it's 4 billion. This chart illustrates it nicely.

I'm not sure about this, but is it possible that the commentaries not showing up in e-Sword 10.0.3 have images embedded in the rtf
