I just have a need for some of my notes that is crying out to be entered in a way as I suggested.
E sword commentaries how to#
I cannot figure out how to do what I want or need to do. I know a user could create a Book instead of a Commentary, but what if we want to "Sync" it with the KJV or another translation such as the ASV. But often it is written in such a way it is difficult to separate that commentary for a group of verses into a Verse-by-Verse Arrangement. Just been trying to figure out that sometimes some of the older PD commentaries I have will have 3 or 4 verses listed then in a paragraph or two, commentary explaining those verses. Sword Searcher has the best Search Engine Capabilities that I've seen anywhere. I admit that I haven't looked realĬlosely at the Commentary sets such as Pulpit Commentary to see how you did that. Just wondered if there will ever be the ability to create as I said above, the ability to create commentary for a range of verses within a chapter (Old or New). That for every chapter and/or verse in the Bible a module could end up being larger than necessary. Will we ever be able to create commentary that covers just Psalm 23:3-5? Sure, you could copy such and paste in Psalm 23:3,Psalm 23:4, and Psalm 23:5. But if you have such a commentary that say, contains a general or broad comment on the entire commentary and not on a specific verse. Take as an example, Psalm 23, where a PD commentary may not have specific verse content like Psa 23:1, Psa 23:2, Psalm 23:3, and so on. Will there ever be a way in the future in SwordSearcher to specify a range of verses in a User Commentary.

If they did, or you use one that does, feel free to send me a copy of the exported content (not original modules), and I can review it to see if it would be feasible to offer an import function for it. I have no idea of other programs have a similar way to easily export their user-created modules. I don't believe that your material should be "captive" to a SwordSearcher module. You can use the tools on the User menu to export all of your content from a user-created module to an HTML document (or to a Forge file). One thing about user-created content in SwordSearcher is that I make it easy to export. Of course, nobody owns public domain material, so you can do what you want with public domain text. There are also legal issues with regard to reverse-engineering clauses in the click-through licenses. Since most Bible programs use proprietary or encrypted formats for their modules, there isn't a straightforward way to import them into SwordSearcher. If you have text from some other application, you have to find a way to export it, and then process the text into the Forge input format, if you want to use Forge. I don't have a tool to convert modules from other applications, and I just wanted to be clear, Forge will not do it. You are not the first one, and won't be the last one, to wonder if there is an easy way to convert material from other applications to SwordSearcher. I certainly take no offence at your questions. I understood you were just looking for information. Tim will have to answer your question about what he meant. The Bible Analyzer or The Word program ( not sure which one) use to be able to convert older eSword modules to its format.Ĭlick to expand.Just to be clear, that is not an issue for me at all.
As long as the eSword module format is still SQLite format. If Brandon could come up with a Sword searcher editor that reads SQLite files then should be a lot easier to convert. I have been creating eSword modules for years. If protected you wont be able to convert it. The compiled eSword module(s) can be viewed in a compatible SQLite editor and can be edied from there if it is not a 'protected" module.
