Hi Folks,

 

Is there anyway to SHARE the FILES that I have downloaded with other users? What I mean is, is there a way to make or print out the list that shows up in my profile so that I can give it to others to download too for THEIR installation of e-sword?

 

Thanks Much!!

What you're describing is a favorite's list. And the ability to share a favorite's list.  Currently, this functionality does not exist but it sounds like a great suggestion for an add-on mod. I will suggest it.

I was just curious, as so many of the folks I suggest e-sword to ask me WHICH modules I have installed. as they would like the same on their setups. As far as it being my Favorites list, I'm talking about the list that shows the files I've downloaded in the past soooooooo, if that's my Favorites list, then we're on the same page.

For now, you could copy and paste each page of downloads into an email. If you have 40 pages of downloads, for example, that would be too much copying and pasting. But also, if you had 40 pages of downloads, the list for a new user should probably be pruned anyway.

Piggybacking on Josh's comments, you could:

1. Go to | Downloads | View Files You Downloaded | on this site.

2. For each page in the list, drag across all listed items and hit [ctrl-c] to copy them.

3. Go to your spreadsheet or email program and [ctrl-v] to paste them (each page below the previous pasted page, of course).

 

For me, the spreadsheet worked best, and Excel worked better than LibreOffice Calc.  Paste all your data in the spreadsheet, and THEN resize the columns to see the contents better.  After resizing the columns, highlight the entire spreadsheet, hover over the break between any two row numbers so that the pointer icon changes, then double-click and ALL the rows will automatically resize.  Excel will automatically make room for rows that still need more than one row of text visible; LibreOffice resets all rows to 1-row height, and you'd have to manually resize rows that need more.

 

For my email program (Thunderbird), the table copies fine.  But you need to create several blank rows in the email message area first, so that each copy/paste section can anchor to its own row.

 

You could also use a text editor, but separation into columns is not well-preserved there.

Thanks for the responses / Ideas!! What I did was to copy and paste the links into a FB chat window but i haven't had a chance to get back to them yet to see if that worked out for them.

Make a batch file. Simple to make and use.

Open notepad and copy line below
dir /b /on > _list.txt

Save file name List.bat
Save as type All File

Congratulations, you have just created a batch file.
Place this file in E-Sword folder.
Double click to run batchfile.
It will generate a text file called list.txt. within folder you placed batch file

Open list.txt file and you have all your E-Sword modules listed.
This can be done in any folder.
