Suppose we have a little Bible commentary for a small range of verses. (E.g. for Rev. 8:1-8).
If we would put it into a Sword module (It may be a useful thing as such small commentaries (probably from somebody's Sunday preaching) may fill gaps in bigger commentaries.), then many such small commentary modules would pollute UI (to many tabs when we will have many commentaries). Note that putting these into a General Book is not a solution, because when somebody studies a range of Bible verses he may easily overlook a General Book (which not so easily overlooking a commentary). I propose the solution for this problem which will some day appear: Add to MODULE.conf file for commentaries the following: SmallRange=true to mark a commentary as a commentary for small range of verses (to not be displayed among other comments in tabs). It would be displyed in a spearate tabs which would list references to small commentaries (but only these of them which are used for the current verse.) Also we would mark a General Book which only comments just a little range of verses with (just in ,conf file) like: VersesRange=Rev 8:1-8 So this general book would also be included in the list of small commentaries (in that list in the tab for small commentaries). It would eliminate the need to have a very little commentary which would only reference this general book. Well, it is more for UI software than for libSword itself. So, let's us just standartise these ideas (probably without including support in libSword) for the future. Then every preacher would make many new modules... Is my notion for additional .conf file fields good in your opinions? -- Victor Porton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel
