Unless I've missed something with Version 13 when you download modules they are placed in

C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword

This makes the modules User Login Specific.

 

So, should I, and if so, where should I move the modules to?

If all the new modules are in C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword will eSword find them all?

 

Thanks!

Yes e-Sword will find any module of any type that is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword.

When downloading from this site you should download the modules into your downloads folder and either copy and paste them into the C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword or you can install the module installer which will install them where you want them

@SpiritualMadMan  Here is an answer to a query about why a user may experience that downloaded files are not loading directly into the C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword folder on the C: drive on their Windows PC. If each person logs in with a personal login profile to e-Sword, their personal user files from the e-Sword Editors are in their own directory - and that directory folder can be located wherever that user has arranged to assign it. That is part of the set up of the user profile, when they loaded e-Sword for their use.
You have to tell the PC who is allowed to access the different folders - and that includes access from https://www.e-sword.net because this is part of the computer security applied to your PC to try to keep hackers out of your personal files, and out of writing to selected folders. Here is an answer from the designer of e-Sword for Windows, Rick Meyers.

 

Olaf,

 

Windows places files into a "Virtual Store" folder if it doesn't have the proper permissions to place them into the e-Sword program directory.  These files will appear within e-Sword as if they were where they belong, but when you look in the e-Sword program directory they are not actually there.

 

You will need to Google for instructions on locating the "Virtual Store" folder for your particular version of Windows.  Once you locate that folder you can move the Bibles and other resources into the actual e-Sword program directory.

 

The permissions "fix" is to set the "Security" on the e-Sword program directory (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword\) to allow the "Everyone" account Full Control.

 

In His service,

 

Rick Meyers

If Windows does not have the necessary permissions to place files in the e-Sword software directory, it creates a "Virtual Store" folder for them.  These files will display in e-Sword as if they are supposed to be there, but they are not.

You will need to search Google for advice on how to find the "Virtual Store" folder for your specific version of Windows.  Once you've found that folder, you can transfer the Bibles and other materials to the real e-Sword application directory.

To "fix" the rights, set the "Security" on the e-Sword application directory (usually C:\application Files (x86)\e-Sword\) to enable the "Everyone" user Full Control.

ought to be updated on the last instruction line, to:
