I downloaded the module Robertson's A.T., Harmony of the Gospel but it can't open in e-sword v. 10 app. Can you help please? thanks.

Click "Bible" from the main e-Sword menu - click "Harmony" - and you should see an entry for the module you downloaded. By the way, this isn't a .topx file.

I find this to be one of the most amusing requests for help that I've come across. The reason for this is that some just don't know what file type they are downloading and then don't understand why it doesn't load in e-Sword, or assume that it doesn't load in e-Sword. This seems to show a complete nescience of file types that e-Sword uses.

 

Another thing is the frustrating part about it, that it seems users are really not using the e-Sword help system, which should be the first port of call for help for any problems they encounter with e-Sword.

 

So, with that, here is a bit of timely advise which I hope users will grab a hold of so that life would be a bit sweeter, and make your life a bit easier:

• Take notice of where you downloaded a file from. e-Sword uses a lot of different file types, and each file type is used for that particular part of the program. Not all resource files are *.top or *.topx  (Topic Note) files.
• If you are a new e-Sword user, explore the program and get to know it. In other words, familiarize yourself with the program. Also e-Sword has a very comprehensive documentation called the "e-Sword User Guide." It comes with the instillation program of e-Sword, and it is installed along with e-Sword. You can access it from your help menu (requires a pdf reader, i.e., Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader, or similar. Windows 8x has its own pdf reader which comes with the OS), and actually read the user guide. Use it as part of your familiarization of e-Sword.
• Notice what resources goes where, and doing that become accustomed to the file types e-Sword uses.
  • Different note editor files are user created ones, and e-Sword generates three different types
    • Topic Note Editor files have the extension topx
    • Study Note Editor Files have the extension of notx
    • Journal Note Editor files have the extension of jnlx
  • Non editable resource files e-Sword uses are:
    • Bible Files are bblx and seen in the Bible Window/pane
    • Commentary Files are cmtx and seen in the Commentary Window/pane
    • Dictionary files are dctx and are seen in the Dictionary Window/pane
    • Graphic files such as maps are mapx, and seen in the floating Graphics Window
    • Devotional files are devx and are seen in the floating Devotional Window
    • Reference Library files are refx files, and are seen in the floating Reference Library Window
    • Harmony of the Gospel files are harx files, and are seen in the Harmony floating Window.

This is only the basics of what e-Sword uses, and all of this information is in the e-Sword User Guide, plus a lot more as well.

 

So, with all of this information I've just shared, I really hope I don't see a title like "Can't open .top file in e-Sword app" when its a .harx file or something else.

 

Blessings,
