The Tongan Bible that is available in the e-Sword Download Manager, is in the Tongan language (which is somewhat similar to Te Reo Maori). So, as to how helpful that would be to Allen in his Zimbabwean and Zambian studies is anyone's guess due to the fact that Tonga is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean and Zimbabwe and Zambia are countries in the African Continent.

Need a little please.  Not sure what happened but I can no longer download any thing from this site.  When I click on a download link I gret a "Download securely" note and then I am unable to download.  This has never been an issue before today.  Any help would be appreciated.

What Browser are you using?

It could have recently been updated to not play well with insecure (not https) connected sites such as http://www.biblesupport.com

I am using chrome, and always have to go to the download icon and select "Keep" for that download.

I use Firefox, and never had an issue with that in relation to this site (or any other site). At all!

That said, I reckon that Josh is going to have to or forced to go with the HTTPS due to HTTP will eventually become no longer be available.

@Bill

So if you're the Windows default Browser, Edge and experiencing difficulties with it. Give it the boot, and use either Google Chrome or Firefox.

Blessings,

I still have and use my Windows Pocket PC. I would love to know how can convert some of my current modules to the Pocket eSword version.

Now, if my understanding/guess is correct, Pocket e-Sword resources were same as the old top, bbl etc (Microsoft's Access DB) used on pre e-Sword 9x days. So, as to whether or not the Simple Bible Reader can revert a e.g., a bbli or bblx file to a bbl one, I have extreme doubts about that. I could be wrong about that, and would be more than willing to admit it if it was actually shown or demonstrated to me. However, reading the documentation, you can only convert from the old format to the newer format. So, as the old saying goes, "There's no going back."

Blessings,

You don't need the Perl scripts there is a conversion tool available called Simple Bible Reader, which can do the conversions. The program can convert between many different bible programs with ease. 

You can download the program here:

Hi Higgsy,

May I suggest that you do a screen recording (video) or a series of screenshots of doing a conversion using Simple Bible Reader, and post it (the screen recording) or them (the screenshots) up on here.

Blessings.

I'm a long time user of e-Sword and e-Sword X, and enjoy it immensely. On Windows or MacOS Sonoma I have no issue. I have one older Mac running MacOS Monterey 12.7.4 that has one annoying issue. It will not open to my preferred window layout. It opens with all panes open, all blank, except the commentary which is populated with my last used pages.  I have to select 'Bible, Commentary' pane preference every time, and then reselect a Bible chapter and verse. It's not terrible, just a little annoyance, and I was hoping maybe someone knew a way to fix it.

 

Thanks...

Like you, I've noticed that my preferred view doesn't always "stick" in e-Sword X.

 

The other thing I've noticed is that the KJV+ Strongs refs panel has a habit of disappearing. If I toggle back and forth to the cross refs view it springs back to life.

 

As both are related to the "stickiness" of the view, perhaps related?

My suggestion is to contact Rick Meyers, giving him the information about your issues.

Just as a matter of interest, has the issues you guys are experiencing has been:

1. Recent; as in just started to happen due to
   1. Recent update/upgrade or
   2. Recent new/fresh installation or
   3. It just began sort of like on its own accord
2. On going since you first installed e-Sword X on you device?

By the way, the more information you can give to Rick Meyers (he's the bloke you authored e-Sword) as to what caused the issues you guys are experiencing, the better are the chances you have for a fix to the problem.

Another By the Way thingy. @ Glenn1611. Your "stickiness" thingy could be hardware related, i.e. lack of RAM or your Monitor is on its way out (getting ready to die), and needs to be replaced.
