Hi there. I have v10.0.5 of e-Sword. I have 4 Reference books downloaded. Three I had since v9 or so. These three used to show up in the pull down at the bottom of the screen. After uploading to v10, they moved to the Reference Library.

I recently downloaded Youngs Unabridged Philo reference, and this showed up at the pull down at the bottom of the screen, and not in the Reference LIbrary.

I'm trying to understand what is going on.

Also, is there a configuration setting that tells esword where to find the data files? Most of my files are under "My Documents/esword", but the new ones seem to only show up if they are in "Program Files/esword".

Thanks!

I'm not exactly sure with v10.0.5, I went from v7 to v10.1, anyway... If your version has the reference library viewer, your files are viewable from there when they are in the root e-Sword folder, otherwise to view them in the editor the files are located in \MyDocs\e-Sword.

You can point e-Sword to your resources via Options - Resource, but once you do this e-Sword will look there every time, I would leave the default locations alone. If you notice a resource on the list but unchecked, check the box, click OK, close e-Sword and restart - your resource should now be available in e-Sword.

So, if you want to edit(?) a topx file or simply view it in the editor put the file in \MyDocs\e-Sword, otherwise put it in the root e-Sword folder and view the file in the reference viewer.

Take a look at the user guide - e-Sword User Guide - but it applies to e-Sword v10.0.6 - v10.1. See page 55 of the guide for an explanation of the various file extensions and where they go in e-Sword.

You might also upgrade to e-Sword v10.1 as well - e-Sword Downloads

Thanks, that helped a great deal, I got it all sorted out now. I installed 10.1, and the reference to the User Guide pages helped get me to the right place for the documentation.
