And which module is it for? <img class="emoticon" src="http://www.crosswire.org/tracker/images/icons/emoticons/smile.gif" height="20" width="20" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"/></p> <p>AndBible uses JSword, which has much richer indexing and uses a Chinese analyzer for the text. SWORD uses StandardAnalyzer, which is appropriate only for some latinate languages. This is a request that SWORD have analysis based upon the language/script of the module.</p> <p>A bit more info: most Lucene analyzers use whitespace to delineate words. This is not appropriate in some languages, such as Chinese. There are a variety of techniques to index Chinese, but to simplify: Suppose that there A, B, C were three Chinese characters and were given as ABC. This would index A, B, AB, C, and BC. In searching for AC, this would look for A, C and AC.</p> <p>With the various whitespace analyzers, there would be no result. The text contained ABC and only ABC would find it.</p> <p>The search index is created by PocketSword itself and it is a Chinese Module.</p> <p>Thanks for the clarification, I will look into it. <img class="emoticon" src="http://www.crosswire.org/tracker/images/icons/emoticons/smile.gif" height="20" width="20" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"/></p> <p>Ok, I need some more clarification about this. You say that "The search index is created by PocketSword itself". However, PocketSword cannot create a search index &#8211; testing revealed that this would take a very long time and so I never added that code. So, how are you creating your search index? Is this in regard to the module that you sent me by email?</p> <p>@DM thanks for that information, PS is still lacking in non-whitespace searches, such as Chinese. <img class="emoticon" src="http://www.crosswire.org/tracker/images/icons/emoticons/sad.gif" height="20" width="20" align="absmiddle" alt="" border="0"/></p> <p>It is my misunderstanding.

I also made the first Svenska Folkbibeln (swedish) for Palm 2003.</p> <p>I like to read two versions of the Bible parallel, I also want to have the possibility to use the parallel window for Commentaries (mine or others).</p> <p>It would be great to have the possibility to have KJV with Strongs numbers (or any other Bible with Strong numbers) in the parallel windows, so you can choose any Strong hyperlink number and then have the translation/commentary (it's possible within MacSword)! I've seen that the SDK have a possibility to have Pop Up windows.</p> <p>It would be good if the parallel windows could be read in both Portrait or Landscape and could be locked in that position, but that should maybe be another topic? See pictures!</p> <p>Pictures of Portrait and Landscape in Olivetree and locking of rotation of screen.</p> <p>Some mindstorming in photoshop...</p> <p>How is it with readability in olivetree when you have the iPhone in portrait view and have two versions open?<br/> is it too small or is it ok?</p> <p>i added some thoughts as <a href="http://www.crosswire.org/bugs/secure/attachment/10533/paralell.jpg">http://www.crosswire.org/bugs/secure/attachment/10533/paralell.jpg</a><br/> what i would feel would be good for me and when studying the bible.</p> <p>(the "second" version has strongs numbers, and when you press a word you get the explanation opened..)</p> <p>As you see on the pictures above from Olivetree the parallel view in Portrait is under each other, and that's bad. On my old Palm you could only use it in Portrait, but the two parallel windows are beside each other.</p> <p>I think myself that Bible Readers with parallel windows shall ALWAYS be besides each other, both in Portrait and in Landscape!</p> <p>But I prefer reading the Bible parallel in Landscape, and want the possibility to lock it in Landscape even if I lay on my pillow and read it on the side, so it won't use the iPhone automatic rotation.</p> <p>I also like a lot that the sizes between the windows are adjustable, I prefer to have the window I'm actually reading a little bit larger then the other.</p> <p>Re mindstorming in Photoshop: Something like that will be excellent!</p> <p>I would really love to have parallel panes that sync like Tecarta or olive tree's last version. I currently use the olive tree hcsb study bible with study notes in one adjustable pane and the text in the other. Also- you have the first bible I have seen with Chinese pinyin. I would love to have pinyin in one and characters in the other. Better yet- an option for 3 panes on iPad and have english, pinyin, and characters in three panes- Wow- that would rock! </p> <p>What do you think Nic Carter?</p> <p>I don't know it it helps but I just added this in the last release of And Bible. Users were really keen on this feature.</p> <p>There is a demo video here: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/SplitDemo">http://tinyurl.com/SplitDemo</a></p> <p>The code is all Java so won't be any use but the video might give some thoughts regarding design.</p> Rank 818 http://www.crosswire.org/tracker/browse/PS-69 PocketSword <p>When clicking in a daily devotional for a bible passage, it is generally an entire chapter. This makes the popup preview pane much to small to be usable. Making it resizable would help, but it would make more sense and intuitive to load it into the main bible window instead.

If it is dark And Bible switches to Night mode automatically, if user has selected Settings/Auto night mode. Experiment to see what light sensor values you get in different environments and then pick a value, below which you switch to night mode. </p> <p>I like this because sometimes I wake up at night and want to read the bible in bed but am almost blinded by the normal black-on-white screen (try it).
