<br>feedback and perhaps a bit selfishly what I find interesting to work on<br>next. I try to favor feedback. See below for response:<br><br>Carl Peterson wrote:<br>> I just downloaded and installed BD to my Windows machine. Two things

<br>picker.<br><br>I'm wondering if this is a first use problem. Does it happen after<br>restart? That is, after you added a few Bibles, quit BD and then started<br>it again, were the pickers big enough?<br><br><br>>
<br>> 2) I know you said you really don't want the commentaries in with the<br>> Bibles, but it would be nice if I could set the commentary pane to<br>> sync with the Bible.<br><br>We have this in our list of requests. Perhaps you (or anyone else) can
<br>help me figure out how this should work. The Bible View pane presents<br>either:<br>1) a chapter of a book of the Bible (via the quick pick)<br>2) the verses that you looked up. This can be a single verse, a range of<br>
verses or a bunch of ranges of verses.<br>3) the results of a search.<br><br>Would it be sufficient to make the selected commentary jump to the first<br>verse on the page? (This would be easy)<br><br>If you click in a verse in a page, would it be good to jump? (This may
<br>be hard and may conflict with how we might do linking to a dictionary)<br>Maybe clicking on the verse number would make it jump?<br><br>> Also, a "prev note"/"next note" button set next to the Scripture
<br>> pickers would help.<br><br>Would this go to the prev/next in the commentary or be based on what<br>scriptures you are seeing?<br>Perhaps a toggle button or check box "Link to Bible View" would allow<br>
the switch.<br><br>By the way, I've been asked to put prev/next buttons for the<br>Book/Chapter Bible pickers.<br><br>> I'm not very familiar with how commentary modules are set up, but is<br>> introductory material (book introductions, chapter introductions)

<br>> pick boxes those introductions.<br><br>Commentaries are laid out just like Bibles. Both have the notion of<br>introductory material at verse "0". So Genesis 0:0, would give<br>introductory material for Genesis. Gen 1:0 would give introductory
<br>material for Genesis 1.<br><br>That said, Bible Desktop does not yet do this but it is in our queue.<br><br>><br>> Thanks,<br>><br>> Carl Peterson<br>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
