[sword-devel] OEB information about update?

[David Haslam]

Xiphos is not unique in having a list of repositories and expecting the user to choose one. PocketSword does the same.

BibleTime & AndBible flatten the modules source to a single list that doesn’t distinguish between repositories.

It’s a design choice by the front-end developer. My personal preference is to be able to select the repository first.

I don’t think this is a difficult concept for users.

The advantage of bibletime is that it reloads all the repositories at the same time, and that it allows to check several repositories together. Then all the bibles from the different repositories are listed in the same place. I don't know if I can make myself understood?

If some users have difficulties to see the ebible repository, I think it is especially with xiphos, because Bibletime proposes directly the list in all the repositories. So this is something that could be improved in Xiphos. However, as there are not many people working on it anymore, I'm afraid it's just a wishful thinking.
