[sword-devel] Win32 Beta M

[Daniel Adams - infoChi]

Troy,
	What you are making sense, I now realize that the idea is that by double
clicking on a verse it takes the main screen. I guess I might just be lazy,
and partially because other than clicking on the search button again, there
isn't a great way to have both windows visible. It probably just often
confuses me because I think that if I close or minimize a window it won't
come back. This makes me hesitate about closing the window, especially if I
have done a long search, i.e. something involving one of the commentaries
(MHC or MHCC) which do a lot. Also when doing the commentary search, It will
only display the verse in the upper pane, with no corresponding text, is
this desirable, I am not sure what is intended? Could there be a way to turn
the preview panes on/off separately for the search window and the main Bible
panes, I do find it desirable to have the panes for the Strong's numbering
for example?
	Another thing that I am not sure if you or the others have noticed, is that
say for example I do a lookup on John 1:5. In the past, I would have had to
scroll in the Bible Pane to get that desired verse into view. I always
download a new Beta version to try in that, and it looks like this seems to
behave nicely because it automatically goes to the desired verse.
	A suggestion I had regarding the search window, could there possibly be an
easy way to select which module to perform the search under? (Just a wish
list idea)

In Christ,

Daniel,
	Thanks for the suggestion.  I agree that context is essential for
Biblical study.  I'm not sure I completely agree that the preview panel
at the bottom of the search dialog should include context.  This panel
is intended to let you find the verse for which you were searching.
Single-clicking previews the verse in the preview window;
double-clicking shows the verse in the main Bible text window in context
for study.  Let me know what you think.

	-Troy.
