Yes, you can keep both. You can rename the NIV tab name to NIV-84 in a 3 minute procedure explained here: http://www.biblesupp...urce-tab-names/
If there's a lot of demand for changing the tab names of a resource, I could make a separate utility that does just that. Would be really easy, maybe so easy that e-Sword will have that feature built-in one day.
Hi Charlie,
Just to add, it also important to change the file's name. The NIV 1984 edition has the same file name as the NIV 2011 edition, and if the NIV 1984 edition filename isn't changed it gets overwritten by the new file during download.
So required recommendations are:
- Before downloading change the older NIV.bblx name to e.g., NIV84.bblx. This can be done directly in Windows Explorer.
- Open the now NIV84.bblx in either SQLite Manager (requires Firefox web browser to run) or SQLite Browser and in the Abbreviation Record in the Details Field of the Bible Table, change the abbreviation for NIV to NIV84 or similar.
- Finally, download the new edition of the NIV. No changes for that file needed.
Best practice before doing any downloading of new versions/editions of any Resource file, if wishing to keep the original file, is to actually give the older file a new filename. Even adding the word, Old, to it, e.g., NIVold.bblx, or NIV.Old.bblx is also also sufficient. And do a backup of it. The backup bit I can't stress enough.
Blessings,
