Thanks for your good work, Christian :) Your feedback was very helpful, and several good points that have gone on my to-do list.

- 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 find menu got disconnected, it works now. Cheers.


- 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).

I agree, I've altered it to "(About)", the language code I'll sort out later. I've made lots of trouble for myself in the past adding small features in at the last minute but it's a good idea.


- 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". ;)

I'm not certain NSURL works without double slash, but I'll look into it. The url syntax probably needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.


- 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.

It's crashed for other people I'm looking into it.


- 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).

Fixed - thanks I wouldn't have noticed.



- 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? ;-))

Working on it right now.


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.

I don't know anything about transliteration, I stuck in the menu item as a place holder a long time ago. If you figure anything out let me know - that'd be really useful.
