[sword-devel] IMP format for Daily Devotionals?

[DM Smith]

If it is added, how would the front-end use it?

Bible Desktop automatically goes to the current date in the user’s default daily devotional upon startup. Would it show the intro on the first of the month? With every day of the month?

Having it in the first day entry ensures that it is seen.

In Him,

But I'm completely sure that no Sword app has any sensitivity to looking for mm.00 in any automated use, such as Xiphos' startup display, or detection of daily.dev status on dictionary module open; in both cases, Xiphos simply keys today's date.
