Thanks for the quick help, Will -- that did the trick. And I was already wondering why the menus and dialogs look so very similar to the last version :).
I'm not quite sure why I wrote "thanks for your feedback" in the last e-mail, I meant "thanks for your good work" :). Anyway, here's some feedback:
- I really like the WebCore rendering. Looks even nicer, especially with the new appearance options. Would be nice to be able to change the font for non-latin script modules, though, but that is something for later releases.
- The printing output looks great! Especially with the new advanced references, this is a great tool to have a few scripture references in a nice layout. Would be nice to be able to change the book title display. E.g. instead of having the book name on top of the verse, add a "(John 3:16-17)" at the end of the verse. That would work nicely for a list of references from different books in the bible.
- I like the back/forward toolbar items and the Cmd+Arrow keys control. Really helpful!
- Overall, the new toolbar is a huge improvement, especially the quick module pop-up and the advanced reference field. Also, being able to customize the toolbar will be a real blessing in the future as new options are added.
- I like that it saves the window positions.
- I'm having trouble opening the "Find" window. It won't show up. Would be nice to have a "Find" field for the toolbar also.
- The module information is great; I find "=About=" a bit obtrusive,
though. Maybe "(About)" as entry for the book list would look
better. Also, maybe instead of displaying the language code, you can
display the full language name ("Chinese" instead of "zh", for example).- The service (sword://KJV/matt3.16) works perfectly now from Camino and Safari. How about making it sword:KJV/matt3.16 and introduce sword:/matt3.16 to open the verse in a "default" bible translation? When Timothy Berners-Lee was asked recently whether he regrets something about inventing the web, he said "double slash". ;)
- MacSword sometimes crashes on me. I wouldn't take that too
seriously, though -- Safari crashes on me all the time on this
machine ever since the hard disk was full once. I'll try again on my
PowerBook.
- The book titles are not displayed correctly in titles when containing
non-ASCII characters. E.g. Matthew should be "Matthäus" in
German. It is correctly displayed in the book popup list as well as
in the text itself, but the title (book name) on top says "Matth%us"
(actually, it is the per mil sign, rather than the percent sign).
- I'm having trouble with typing in advanced references. I think the problem is that the values of the book popup and the chapter popup are combined. E.g. if the chapter popup is set to "2", and I type in "Gen 3", the window title will say "Gen 3 2" and the window will display "Genesis 32". If you now type "Gen 3" into the book popup again, the window title is set to "gen 3 32", and the content displayed will be 2 Kings 19. (Probably the 332nd chapter in the bible? ;-))
One thing I'd like to see in MacSword is transliteration (maybe similar to the way Strong's numbers are displayed) and dictionary pop-ups. Can the bibletime filters be used to display transliteration? I'd love to help with coding for these, but I don't quite know where to start.
Anyway, I hope the feedback is helpful! Thanks again for your very good work. MacSword is getting better all the time!
