#40071 The Current New International Commentary sale...

Posted by Starkman on 17 December 2020 - 05:15 PM

Well, I've discovered that there have been several additions to the series and updates (second editions to many modules) as well--the deal for e-Sword is 43 volumes; currently there are 54 volumes. This means this is lacking the most recent scholarship, which means it's a bit dated. That's not bad, but it explains the very low price. Logos and Olive Tree charge almost $1900.00.

At any rate, it is most certainly a good deal for what it is.


#40069 The Current New International Commentary sale...

Posted by Starkman on 17 December 2020 - 10:55 AM

Greetings all,

 

Just came across this deal for the New International Commentary for sale (https://estudysource...eals/index.aspx)

 

Does anyone own it? Is it the complete version of the original/standard NICOT and NICNT?

 

The price is so low for the series that I can't help think something from the original series has been excluded or edited.

 

Any information as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated; I'd like to purchase it is the complete series.

 

Thanks




#36918 New Module notifications (and others) come to my junk box

Posted by Starkman on 10 November 2019 - 01:07 PM

Greetings all,

 

So, whenever there's a new module notification sent out, it goes to my junk folder (I'm using Hotmail). Even after, numerous times, I've selected the notification and told it it's not junk (which then transfers it immediately to my Inbox), it still insists on receiving notifications to the junk folder. I can't recall if email notifications (e.g., a response to a post I've create) come to the junk folder as well.

 

Any ideas how to get Hotmail to send all notifications to the Inbox?

 

Thanks.

 

UPDATE: I have gone into the settings and set the email as from a Safe Sender. Perhaps that's all that's needed. It just seems like there should be a more natural way to tell Hotmail that it's just a regular email without having to use the Safe Sender's list.




#36896 Module Installer still working?

Posted by Starkman on 07 November 2019 - 12:31 PM

Hey all,

 

Say, is the e-Sword Module Installer 0.6 (http://www.biblesupp...0#commentsStart

) still working fine for e-Sword ver 12?

 

Thanks.




#36535 Need to know the data locations for ES 12

Posted by Starkman on 28 August 2019 - 08:33 PM

Greetings all,

 

I've just built a brand new system and have installed ES 12 on it, so I want to copy the data files (Bibles, etc.) from my laptop, which is up to date, to the new system; however, I noticed when opening ES on my laptop, it stated something about new locations for storing data--Onedrive or something. I then updated to ES 12 on my laptop, but I don't know where those new locations are.

 

Thanks,

 

Starkman

 

 

UPDATE:

Okay, so I found the location for the OneDrive ES folder; however, it seems to be the same as the one in Documents. Otherwise, I copied everything over to the old folders as well, and it's all working.

 

Could someone, thus, enlighten me about the OneDrive use? I don't use OneDrive, so I'm not sure what's going on here.




#35702 Running e-Sword on Linux Mint 19.1...?

Posted by Starkman on 28 March 2019 - 05:44 PM

Greetings all,

 

Did a biblesupport site search for running e-Sword on Linux, but stuff's a bit old after the first hit.

 

So, I understand you can run e-Sword in Linux with WineHq or something like that, but what I'm wondering is if I do so will it retain all of my downloads (Bibles, commentaries, etc.)? Is there a way to save the configurations and download information so that it isn't lost when you close Wine? (I've never run wine, so I'm in the dark there.)

 

Any input on how to do this as well would be great.

 

Thanks much.

 




#35255 Update to version 12

Posted by Starkman on 02 February 2019 - 03:28 PM

I didn't know there is a version 12. Looking on the main site, it shows only 11 as available.




#35190 More REGEX search questions

Posted by Starkman on 23 January 2019 - 06:45 PM

It is nuts, it is. But some of us just can't help ourselves!


#35146 More REGEX search questions

Posted by Starkman on 17 January 2019 - 06:43 PM

From the Manual

 

Pg 242 "\bP(\w)+r\b"

 

I tried this with and without parentheses around "\w" and got the same results; why, then, are the paretheses needed? The "+" is going to work against just the "\w" whether it's in paretheses or not.

 

 

 

 

Pg 239

The manual says "(abc){2}” matches the “abc” characters two times.

 

Question: Is this a minimum of two or zero to two times?

 

 

 

 

Also, the manual says “(abc){2,}” matches abc a minimum of two times, and “{,4}” matches “abc” maximally four times.

 

Question: The {,4} is missing in this example, so how should the example read to correcyt itt?

 

 

 

 

My personal searches 

If "\bthe\w" can find words beginning with "the" and extend the search to "therefore", why can't "\bsad\w" find "sadducee" or "sadducees"? I've tried with several versions. It doesn't even find "sad". Further, "sad\w" finds palisaded (Luke 19:43 Darby). Why?

 

Thanks much.

 




#35132 Well, I finally did it!

Posted by Starkman on 14 January 2019 - 10:03 AM

Hey all,

 

Over the weekend, I made it my goal—one that I was absolutely bent on completing—to read through the entire manual. And... I did it! Along with creating eight pages of notes for my own reference as I go along.

 

This has been a long time coming, and I really needed to get it done, what with my studies moving in the direction they are moving in. So I am so jazzed!

 

Thanks to all who jumped in and answered questions for me. Oh, and the bonus of completing the manual was that I got that much more familiar with this and the main site.

 

Thanks again.




#35124 Topic Notes in The Reference section: what were they named?

Posted by Starkman on 13 January 2019 - 02:44 PM

Greetings all,

 

The Manual states that version 9 (and earlier) of e-Sword had kept the Topic Notes file(s) in the main e-Sword folder. I'm curious: what was the name of the personal working Topic Notes file and of the main Editor's default file? I mean, they couldn't be named the same, obviously.

 

I ask because in my version 11 e-Sword I have a file named Topic.topx in both \user\My Documents\e-Sword and in \Programs (x86)\e-Sword. As I understand it, the one in My Documents is my personal working file when in the Editor, and the one in the Programs file is the main Editor file.

 

So, just so I know if I come across this in any old posts or what have you (here on the board), what was the name given to the personal Topic Notes file back when? 

 

Thanks much.




#27147 Looking for an Esperanto Download

Posted by Starkman on 23 February 2016 - 06:30 PM

Hey all,

 

I found an Esperanto.zip file for mobile devices, but I can't seem to find anything for desktops. Is there one and I've just missed it?

 

Thanks,

#20095 Can default storage locations be changed yet?

Posted by Starkman on 15 January 2014 - 01:09 PM

Oh, heavens, no worries at all, patch. I've dispatched a drone to destroy any and all of your manuals so that we will never have this discussion again!

 

Really, thanks. No problem at all.

 

Now, as for you, exscentric, I've dispatched a drone, but it will deal with more than your manuals!

 

Take care all,

 

Starkman




#20092 Can default storage locations be changed yet?

Posted by Starkman on 15 January 2014 - 09:46 AM

If all fails, read the manual.

Thanks

 

Ok, wait one second here. Just hold your horses, patch!  ...read the manual? Really? What kind of person are you? Read the manual? Boy, the nerve! (I'm just stunned...I can't believe......read the manual?)

 

Manual, pg 52, didn't see this...didn't think it was there because of other posts... (read the manual?)...

 

Be rest assured, patch, that if after having read the manual (really? I have to read the manual?) I tell you solemnly, in the immortal words of Terminator 1, "I'll be back!"

 

(Oddly enough, I had been reading the manual about six months ago, but I must have not noticed pg 52.)

 

Thanks much,

 

Starkman

 

(mumblinb to myself..."I can't believe this. Read the manual?)




#17670 Search not working

Posted by Starkman on 01 July 2013 - 03:50 PM

Hello all,

 

Say, I can't get the search feature (upper right-hand corner) to work. No matter where I am on the site it doesn't return any hits. Am I missing something here?

 

I'm trying to find Spanish Bible modules, and it is certainly too time consuming to go through each foreign language module listed.

 

Thanks much,
