I realize this is not a super important problem. It is however time consuming to scroll down through 45 books of John Piper to find one by someone whose name begins with R.

 

Something like the following would be great:

 

Lucado

McArthur

+Piper

    Apologetics

    Christianity

    Heaven

+Rogers

+Spurgeon

     All of Grace

     In Defense of Calvinism

     Lectures to my Students     

     Morning and Evening

     

     

The authors with the + in front of their name would all be lined up evenly unless they were expanded.to reveal all of the material.

Any help?

Hi Cliff,

If you are looking at the + sign to work as a collapsible node as something which is seen in the tree of  the contents of a help file or a pdf file, the answer would be no. The example you show is something that is out of reach of the Reference Library part of e-Sword. What is seen on the left side of the Reference Library GUI is a List Box Control, which acts a menu for the contents of the resource. What would be needed is a Treeview Control, similar to that which is seen in the Windows File Explorer, which would give you that collapsible node effect.

 

Blessings,

Stephen (Php 1:21).

Hi pastorcliff

 

in the ref window to the right of the titles drop-down window there is a text box type in the author you want press enter

 

and only the books from that author will appear in the drop-down

 

clear the box press enter to return to the full list

May God change our hearts to what the truth is

2Ti_2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Rom_9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

2Ti 2:24-25  And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

Thanks Stephen and DSaw. You both have been very helpful. That will work.
