Re: [Macsword-user] reference entry bug

[Manfred B. <man...@gm...>]

Hi Michael.

Thanks for looking into this.

Unfortunately I can't reproduce this at all.
I can type any book name or abbrevation in the reference box with or  
without a number in front as long as I type the first letter of the  
book name with upper case.

If no one else responds here I will write this to the Sword list and  
see if someone else can reproduce this.
The thing is, that we only pass the reference that is typed further to  
the Sword library that delivers the text to it.


Regards,
Manfred

Re: [Macsword-user] reference entry bug

[Michael C. <mi...@co...>]

Here's an update that might shed light on the problem. If I go to the book
first using the simple navigation boxes, for instance, click drop-down box,
manually select "Luke", then I can use the reference box, i.e. Luke 3, Luke
9:1, etc. If I then leave Luke, I still can't type "Luke x" in the reference
box and have to navigate there using the drop down, then I can type
references in Luke again all day long. This works for any book.

Also, I've discovered the reason 1Sam - 2Chron worked is that ANY book that
starts with a number works, not just those OT books. So, 1 & 2Cor, 1 & 2Tim,
1-3John etc., all work. It's only the books without a number in front that
don't. And I tried using a bogus "1Romans" to see if it mattered, but it
didn't; still fails.

Re: [Macsword-user] moved from 1.2.1 to 1.3.9; some display problems.

[Manfred B. <man...@gm...>]

Hi.

There is no version 1.3.9. The latest is 1.3.5.
No screenshot attached.

Which lexicons are you having problems with?

Safari 3.1.1 intruduced something different in CSS style URL including  
so we had to rework that to make CSS work at all.
There might be problems with custom CSS.
Can you give me your style sheet then I will look into it.

Please make sure which version you are using.
Version 1.3.2 to 1.3.3 had problems with locales and these version are  
displaying the book names in the second system language instead of the  
first (if the first is english).

Manfred

[Macsword-user] moved from 1.2.1 to 1.3.9; some display problems.

[Aaron C. <nin...@gm...>]

Hey, I just moved from mac sword 1.2.1 to 1.3.9 and there are some 
unusual things happening. The CSS stuff isn't working quite right (I 
can't use my own style sheets, nor can I change the appearance with the 
preferences), and I get a bunch of CSS code displayed at the top of each 
page.
Furthermore, the book names are displayed in Hebrew, and my Hebrew is 
such that I have to sound out all of the names before I can figure out 
what the book is.

Also, this version doesn't give me access to some of the lexicons I had 
downloaded for the previous version.

I'm not too thrilled about all of this.

I tried erasing my old preferences folder and rebooting, but it's the same.

Going back to 1.2.1 until someone can help me figure this stuff out.

PS. I attached a screen-shot to show what I'm talking about. There is a 
pic of normal operation on 1.2.1 below, and a pic of 1.3.9 on top.

Re: [Macsword-user] reference entry bug

[Manfred B. <man...@gm...>]

Do you really write "Luke" with capital 'L'?
I tried it and get what you are saying when entering 'luke' with lower  
case 'l'.
The same goes for Mathew. 'Mt' work but 'mt' not.

Anyway, I will look into that. I think also lower case letters should  
work.

Re: [Macsword-user] reference entry bug

[Michael C. <mi...@co...>]

It's the reference text field where you can enter things like "Luke 3:1" or
even just "Luke", then hit enter. It worked before I updated to 1.3.5. My
main language is US English.

Re: [Macsword-user] reference entry bug

[Manfred B. <man...@gm...>]

Can you give an example of what exactly you type and where.
In the reference text field or the bible book combo box?
Which is your main language?

If a key is not recognized it takes the last book which is Revelation  
of John.
It is written by John so that's why I guess it is called like that.

Manfred

Hi.

Hmm. It hasn't been reported.
And actually I can't reproduce this.
I can successfully enter something like:
Gen 3, Num 6, Is 5 or Jer 2

All working ok.

On which module do you notice that.

[Macsword-user] reference entry bug

[Michael C. <mi...@co...>]

Has a bug in the reference entry box of 1.3.5 been reported already? I can
only enter ³1Sam² through ³2Chron² and get the text. Anything from Ruth back
and Ezra forward results in the simple navigation box showing ³Revelation of
John² (which should actually be Revelation of Jesus, but I digress...)
chapter 1, but the text isn¹t displayed. Manual selection through the simple
navigation boxes seems to work.

Re: [Macsword-user] books of bible now opening in french & I; m an Englisj speaking user

[Manfred B. <man...@gm...>]

Hi.

I know this problem and thought it was fixed since version 1.3.3 or  
1.3.4.
The interface language depends on your system language settings. The  
first setting should be used for MacSword.
I know there was a bug (which is fixed) that the second language was  
used instead of the first when english was the first one. Try version  
1.3.5 and see if your problem is fixed.

I noticed some problems with the selected options.
I will look at that more closely.

Hmm. Haven't noticed that. I will test it.
Alternatively you use the "reference" toolbar item to enter references.

[Macsword-user] "Default to verses on one line" issue

[Vincent L. <mc1...@gm...>]

Every time I open a new MacSword browser, it switches back to the  
usual, unbroken line style, though the checkbox in the Preference  
panel to default to one line is still checked. Any ideas? I just  
installed the new beta to try to fix it, and it caused even more  
problems.

Also, typing book and chapter names and numbers into the drop-down  
boxes to navigate no longer works; it keeps going to Revelation 1. Am  
I doing something wrong? It just started doing that with the new beta.
