#28148 Features I would like to see in the new e-Sword

Posted by DSaw on 08 July 2016 - 06:11 AM

A full featured module creation tool

 

Brent’s ToolTipTool is one of if not the single most important tools for e-Sword but I’m thinking that there will may have be a switch to another program language

 

Then the question would be will Brent know the new language or even be willing to develop a T4 for the new language

 

what ever happens a creation tool is needed A conversion tool would be a good stop gap but as I have seen with conversion across languages some features are not converted or are not able to be utilized

Traditional interlinear formatting ability




#28119 Can you "bunch" multiple books by author in refx ?

Posted by DSaw on 03 July 2016 - 09:48 PM

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.

 

     

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 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

#27161 why does not every bible program have it's own creation tool

Posted by DSaw on 24 February 2016 - 09:31 AM

why does not every bible program that allows 3rd party modules not have it's own wysiwyg creation tool

 

e-Sword does have T4 and look how big the library is because of it so much so that that each other bible program has its chain of programs to get that module into there program BUT does not the module lose some features such as color or is not that the conversion is unable as iit s to use certain features of that programs 

 

I created modules before T4 and it previous versions, with MED and others that where just compilers everything had to be marked up it was so time consuming 

 

Coasta has a e-Sword conversion tool But it does not use all the features that it could i.e. that module can't as is you all the features of TheWord after the conversion the modules still would need modifying 

 

 

It seems to me that that if there is a bible study program that allows 3rd party modules it should have there own WYSIWYG module creation tool that can make full use of all the feature for that particular bible study program

 

it might be that only the developer of that particular program can answer

#26462 Davar4 beta2

Posted by DSaw on 19 November 2015 - 10:13 PM

Hi Katoog,

As true as it is in what you say, still doesn't alter the fact that these windows in Devar4 crowds out all the other windows. With e-Sword window one can pin, and once pinned they remain there. With Devar4 this is not the case. And its because of that you do not have any real quick access to the resources.

 

within Davar the whole library is in a window to the left, folders can be created and module places into those folders to organize them 
 
I think Davar is faster and the organizational ability is WOW
 
 
 

 

 

Moreover, one can overlay windows in e-Sword, thus creating tabbed views when working on smaller screens, such as Laptops and MS Surface tablets. From what I observe, this is not the case with Devar4. And if that is the case, when one is working on smaller screens, having to shut down windows of certain resources  so one can have a bigger work space, and then to reopen them, really has to be a pain in the proverbial neck.

 

The real claim to fame that e-Sword has is the ease of use and quick access to its resources, and the simplicity of design of the interface. Having a lot of bells and whistles doesn't make a program really good. Fact is, from a developer's perspective, having a heap of bells and whistles makes a program cumbersome and slow. They are usually called "bloatware."

 

 

when you overlay you can not see both windows you must choose the tab in eSword in Davar both can be visable or you can temporally move a window on top of another 

 

In Davar select program menu from there goto options then program go to tile layout and deselect auto arrange windows will now stay put also the window dropdown has autoarange

 

navigating the windows is easy with the windows dropdown all the windows that are open are listed there you can minimize a window and just click on it in the dropdown and it will returnand it will return 

 

and with Davar you can open multiple dictionaries to do that with eSword you have to open another eSword

 

the windows can be resized and layered partially  on top of another window

 

I agree with BH this program is powerful

 

 

And, AND it's still in beta

 

LIke I said before I LIKE what I'm seeing

@ yeshuayhwh you should ask the developer(s) to come check out the thread and this great site

I'm liking what I have tested so far




#26383 Biblesupport 2.0 - Your Feedback

Posted by DSaw on 09 November 2015 - 11:39 AM

 

One of the biggest criticisms of this website has been it looks like a Library. And it's overwhelming. What can we do to change that?

 

Thanks,

Josh

 

A library, Yea books converted to esword it is a library or a repository (WOW spelled that correct first time)  I like the way it looks now

 

as far has being overwhelmed that is going to happen anyway! with the amount of works available, Searches and tags helps with that maybe making at least one tag mandatory

 

when you first started this board it was not as it is now as needs and knowledge grew it evolved into what it is now

 

I think that basic structer if possible should stay the same and then add the bells and whistles

 

Just my oppion

 

 

I think what ever you decide in the end will be good your not going to please everyone

 

 

P.S.  WOW your going to have so much work ahead of you

#25712 e-Sword on Windows 10?

Posted by DSaw on 05 August 2015 - 07:49 AM

its like when the car insurance people say new car replacement but you never really get a new car unless you total it within a year you get a car of the same year or one year better if you total a 2015 you get a 2015 replacement but if you  total a 2010 you get a 2010 replacement

 

Its all in the wording windows 10 is free but if windows 10 seamlessly  upgrades to windows then it is no more windows 10 and then  you have to pay

#25519 Dictionaries - Thayer's Unabridged Greek - English Lexicon of the New Tes...

Posted by DSaw on 08 July 2015 - 09:54 PM

File Name: Thayer's Unabridged Greek - English Lexicon of the New Testament

File Submitter: DSaw

File Submitted: 08 Jul 2015

File Category: Dictionaries

Author: Thayer, Joseph Henry
e-Sword Version: 9.x - 10.x

TheWord module creator Rob Sauers

For over a century, Thayer's has been lauded as one of the best New Testament lexicons available. Both accessible and thorough, it is a work suited for the student of New Testament Greek. Thayer's provides dictionary definitions for each word and relates each word to its New Testament usage and categorizes its nuances of meaning. Its exhaustive coverage of New Testament Greek words, as well as its extensive quotation of extra-biblical word usage and the wealth of background sources consulted and quoted, render Thayer's an invaluable resource.
