Thank you for your kind words!
So this means the tooltips still work well in KDE 3.0 because I made some 
changes to them using KDE 3.1?

The tooltips in the main index are the same as in the display windows. But the 
size is norrect, that's true. I'm not sure if I could make it right, because 
KDE's HTML widget, which is used inside the tooltips, reports wrong sizes of 
the loaded document.

A key accel for copying a whole chapter will be added after 1.3 is out, 
because we're in message freeze until 1.3.
More export options will come as soon as we have the installation wizard ready 
(maybe for 1.4), which will also offer options to export bigger ranges than a 
chapter (so exporting whole books or bibe modules should be possible).

It would be great if you could submit this as a feature suggestion on 
SourceForge now, so we won't forget this,
