Refining the handbook - AGREED. I made up the handbook as a
seat-of-the-pants-bare-bones-late-night-after-the-wife-and-kids-went-to-bed-ge
t-0.3-out-the-door job. The suggestions for installation procedures and
pictures are great. I would be to have help with the handbook, if anyone has
time. If not, that's OK also. I will make sure 1.0's handbook is much more
complete.
Ideas for 1.0:
Printing - 0.2x print queue good. It should be displayable. Print preview?
It doesn't need the bells and whistles of KHexEdit's print dialog, though.
Installation - user-definable (in configuration dialog) path to Sword?
Graphical install of Sword (zipped binaries)?
Presenters - I REALLY think we need a text input box to directly go to a
specific verse. Also a search button in the presenter would be very nice.
Much more intuitive than the current method. I am not at all concerned about
adding another line to the presenter toolbar. That, IMHO, is a non-issue
except on screens with VERY low resolution.
Commentaries - I would still like to see commentaries displayed a "chapter"
at a time, rather than a verse at a time. Again, more intuitive.
Good work on on 0.3!!!
God bless,
Jeff
