In the Windows UI, one can right-click the tab set to bring up a picker to decide which modules should show in the tabs. E.g. in the Bible tabs, I allow only English, Greek, Hebrew modules to show. That said, I don't use Windows much, and GS doesn't have this problem -- mod.lists are trees opened only on demand. > 1) Searching should be restricted to targeted material.

How is the UI to know you're searching for verses? Why should commentaries be excluded from verse-oriented searches? > Don't search non-dictionaries when doing word lookup. I can think of quite a few examples of commentary content that would serve better than most dictionaries when doing word lookup. > 2) Do what the user asks and expects, but offer them more. > I think we should allow users the ability to tailor the applications > to enhance their study path.

I think adding configurable extensibility would be great. But I think blindly adding to what is sought is a sure recipe for annoyance, and is a worse form of being inflexible. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
