<br>
Does the Hebrew localisation you contributed look okay?<br>
<br>
The ideas you sent are all good ideas. I have put the original
e-mail in the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/wiki/FuturePlans">And
Bible wiki</a> and will try to keep it updated.<br>
<br>
<b>Bookmarks</b><br>
I think import and export of bookmarks will come eventuially. It
ffects me most of all because as developer I keep on having to
uninstall and reinstall and consequently lose all my bookmarks
frequently!<br>
<br>
<b>Autoscroll</b><br>
What do others think of autoscroll. It sounds good but a bit
weird. What if you read faster/slower or want to think about a
verse or jump to commentary.<br>
<br>
<b>Book Names</b><br>
This is a bit contentious and I think thre are people who might
argue strongly either way. Personally I took the easiest
implementation route.<br>
<br>
Berst regards<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction:

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction:

<ul style="direction: ltr;">
<li style="direction: ltr;">Bookmarks - add import/export
(XML, probably), add colors to labels</li>
<li style="direction: ltr;">AutoScroll - text scrolls
automatically (like palmbible+)</li>
<li style="direction: ltr;">Document lang - change book
names and so according to the document, UI lang not
relevant</li>
</ul>
Maybe we can see other mobile applications for ideas
(PocketSword, PalmBible+, etc.)<br>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction:

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction:
ltr;">BTW, a small bug - at the end of each chapter,
there's a long blank part (almost screen size). I don't
know if it always like that or Hebrew document cause that,
but still annoying.</p>

like the recently added grid navigation and that was
pushed through because of comments from this group:

</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Speech</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><i>I have spent too
long thinking about how best to do this.</i></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Aim: Allow multiple
sequential or diverse chapters to be queued for
speech.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"> Alternative 1: Simple
enhancement so that if Speech button is pressed on
a chapter not being spoken the chapter is added to
the speech for queue. If Speech is pressed on a
chapter just requested to be spoken then all
speech is aborted.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Possibility to allow
fewer presses by moving the Speech button to the
first screen of menu buttons but which button to
remove and how to know if user can/does use
Speech.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Alternative 2: Show
Speech Dialog when Speech button is pressed but
this would involve a lot more button presses.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Alternative 3: Add
stateful Speak button beside Quick Link buttons
(at top) in Portrait mode (more room) if selected
in Settings. The Speak/Silent button would switch
between the several states Speak, 2 Chapters, 4
Chapters, Book, Silent. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">My vote: I prefer
Alternative 3 or possibly Alternative 1 because I
feel a dialog just to add a chapter is overkill
and could frustrate users.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Allow Xiphos Module
Download</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Include modules from
Xiphos in download list. Is there a Master List
we can use? If not I just plan to merge the
Xiphos list with the CrossWire list.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I also need to add a
Refresh List button.</div>

loading does not have JSword's bad xml structure
toleration for books like WEB. I plan to try
falling back on JSword if the optimised technique
fails.</div>

<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Strong's List of Ref

Strong's ref</div>

<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Remove Create Index

<div style="direction: ltr;">Does anybody use it?</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>RTL Page Header Tidy
Up</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I have considered
separating out chapter, verse, book, module into
different components to prevent bidi problems and
improve layout for rtl languages (Hebrew).
Separate components would also allow us to switch
everything around </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Small Changes</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">More wait cursors e.g.
when searching.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Formatting of text
needs more consistency and tidying.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Splash screen needs
better layout.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Large screen Tablets
can't scroll to last verse.</div>

<div style="direction: ltr;"><b><br>

<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Fancy Header</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">It could be prettier
but it needs to be small. The Android Twitter
ui is supposed to be a good model but the
Toolbar there is very wide. Also some have
suggested allowing full page viewing but I am
not sure. </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>Navigation</b></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I don't like putting
my fingers all over the screen I am reading but
thumbwheels are not so common now so maybe:
touch right/left edge to go forward back a
chapter, touch bottom corner to scroll down.</div>
