TJ,

I think I said above that I had already activated Windows Media Player legacy version. I contacted Rick Meyers and Joshua responded this morning. He had me make a registry edit and that worked. Actually, I deleted e-Sword, cleaned the registry, made the edit, and then installed e-Sword with administrative privileges. I'm up and running again. Joshua gave no reason why this might randomly happen.

I asked if he would mind if I posted the edit here and am waiting to hear back from him.

Can ToolTip NT be installed and run on Windows 11? I get an error message right at the end of the installation that says:

C:\Program Files\e-Sword ToolTip Tool NT\TX28\tx4ole28.ocx

Unable to register the DLL/OCX: RegSvr32 failed with exit code 0x3.

Thanks in advance,

Gary

Well, my solution has been to uninstall e-Sword 14.1.0 and reinstall e-Sword 13.0.0. That way I can continue to work in the version of T4 that I have. I work with e-Sword on a desktop and a laptop with both looking for their resources in OneDrive. So I have no need to convert to topi until I want to import something to e-Sword on my Android. In that case I just use Rick's conversion tool.

I hope future e-Sword updates won't include a forced conversion of topx to topi.

Gary

I don't see how this can be done now that my topic has been converted.

Any ideas?

Gary

Has anyone figured out how to do this? I don't see any new buttons or any new options in the drop down menus.

Gary

I had an e-mail conversation with Phil from www.estudysource.com regarding this topic. Here are his comments:

"Vines is a Dictionary module in e-Sword, NOT a Lexical resource, like Strong’s or Complete WSD. It is a “reverse Strong’s” so it links via English words, not Strong’s numbers.

To search Vines using English words, enter your English word in the search window. To search Vines by Strong’s number: right click in the Vines Dict. window, and search using Strong’s number.

We look forward to serving you with bestselling e-Sword resources."

Following up another question from me he said:

"I should have clarified that the right mouse search functionality is for iOS e-Sword formats. You might want to check with Rick Meyers for PC and Android: [email protected]."

He may have read our thread (I invited him to look at it) and then wanted me to post the following:

Please also inform the community regarding copyright for all Vines content: copyright for all Vine’s publications was restored to W.E. Vine successors (W.E. Copyright Ltd.) via the GATT Treaty. Thomas Nelson obtained exclusive publishing rights for Vine’s publications from them. eStudySource licensed the right to publish and sell Vine's in e-Sword format from Thomas Nelson. Distribution or sale of Vine's content without a license from Thomas Nelson is a violation of copyright and is subject to legal action.

Here is the copyright notice in eStudySource’s edition of Vines: "Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, © 1984, 1996, Thomas Nelson, Inc., Nashville, TN; a compilation work published under an exclusive arrangement with W.E.

I understand that TJ made his edits on his own purchased copy of the dictionary and is not making it available to us here but only using it for himself. I don't know if Phil caught that. 

As I understand it, it all boils down to the difference between a lexicon and a dictionary.

GW

Thanks JPG. I followed the link to the instructions on using ITunes to transfer the file. That worked.

Gary

My objective is to load the file onto my wife's IPAD. Is there another way to load it directly, rather than posting it here and then downloading it?

Is there a way to search for highlighted text?

Is there a way to view pdf files within e-Sword or convert them to a topx module? I tried converting a pdf to a rtf, that looked ok, but then it lost a lot of formatting when the rtf was opened in ToolTip Tool NT.

GW

Katoog,

Despite my doubts and misunderstanding I followed your suggestion of upgrading to 11.2.2 and then using the e-Sword PC to Apple Converter to convert my MLV2019.bblx to MLV2019.bbli. This fixed my problem when using the Extended Bible search. I apologize for doubting you. Thank you for your help.

GW

When I perform a word search the Extended Bible Search function why do some of the resulting verses look normal, like this:

Psa_72:14  (ASV)  He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:

and some display codes, like this:

Psa_74:2  (ASV)  Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; {\cf15\i And} mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

or this:

Psa_18:1  (NASB)  {\b For the choir director. A {\cf15\I Psalm} of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said,} "I love You, O LORD, my strength."

or even worse, like this:

Job_30:15  (NET)  Terrors are turned loose{\cf6\super 34} on me;\par \tab they drive away{\cf6\super 35} my honor like the wind,\par \tab and like a cloud my deliverance has passed away.\par

and this:

Job_5:4  (MLV)  \viewkind4\uc1\ltrpar\nowidctlpar\tx720\tx1440\tx2160\tx2880\tx3600\tx4320\tx5040\tx5760\tx6480\tx7200\tx7920\tx8640\tx9360\tx10080\lang1033\f0\fs22 His sons are far from safety and they are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them, \cf0\i0\b0\ulnone\nosupersub

Is there a setting I can change to avoid this? Thanks for your help.

GW

I have my locations for the resources and user files pointed to my OneDrive folder. This is supposed to allow me to view notes I made on my laptop to appear on my desktop since both devices use the same resource folders. However, I have found that this does not work perfectly all the time. Many times I have to restart e-Sword or reset the resource folders repeatedly on each device for the notes I made on one to appear on the other. Does anyone have any suggestions for this minor irritation?

GW

Is there a way to view a commentary as you would look at a book? I'd like to see it page by page (or Bible chapter by Bible chapter) rather than linked to each verse or viewable only comment by comment.

Gary

Unless its somewhere I haven't found, e-Sword LT doesn't have study or topic notes, or sadly the ability to create them. If I want to take a note while the preacher is preaching I have to use another Bible app.
