I prefer the former green strongs than the purple strongs of the new version,

Is there any way to change from purple back to green?

Hi

How us this new version compared to the Word bible software

[Tj Higgins]

I have a couple of questions regarding version 11 of e-sword

 

1. Can it be installed separately from and older version say in a different folder or does it install directly over an existing install?

 

2. Can we possibly get some screen shots of the new version posted her on biblesupport.com?

 

Thanks

issue

 

typing in the search entry window:

 

in bible search window searching KJV+ I click on the search entry window typing cursor shows 

 

But if mouse pointer falls into display window typing courser goes away and you cannot type

 

typing cursor does remain if the mouse pointer goes into the title bar

 

 

search window results:

 

I Can no longer drag and drop text from the search results window into word 

 

copy and paste does not hold the font and font size (example esword is Titus cyberbit basic 24 but pasts in word as time new roman 10 

This is corrected by past special unformatted text from within word

 

also line spacing is off periodically (but is fixed buy past special unformatted text)

 

can anyone else confirm

Copy all and paste all is not such an issue and paste special does not work in this case

e-Sword 11.01 is now available. I just downloaded it. Maybe it addresses some of the issues brought up.

Is there a way to change the new headings?  I don't mean remove them, but change what they say/where they're located?

On the Apple versions, the format of the Lexicon is the same as Dictionary, just with a different extension (.lexi). On Apple, this seems to have been done for organizational purposes with the user interface. In the Apple UI, under Lexicon, the dictionaries include BDB, King James Condordance, Strong's Hebrew/Greek Dictionaries, Thayers, etc. Rick Meyers wanted to separate the Lexicon resources from the normal Dictionary resources and maybe that's for usability with the Apple product.

 

On e-Sword for the PC, there is not a user-interface difference between Lexicons and normal Dictionaries. It's all under the Dictionary tabs in the Dictionary window. The reason the Lexicon module format was introduced for the PC was because the PC now reads Apple modules (and Apple/HTML modules are now the preference/future of e-Sword). So it made sense to bring the Lexicon format to the PC, even though it adds no functionality right now.

 

The new module format has also introduced a new Lexicon module type

 

 

Is there an example of this New module type

Also David, the advantage to putting original language resources into the Lexicon module (.refi) is that single file can be read on Apple platforms (in the Lexicon window) and PC platforms (in the Dictionaries window). One download, no multiple downloads for multiple platforms.
