I've had fun with a USFM New Testament, converted it to OSIS using the
Perl script and then to a module using osis2mod. So far, so good...<br>
<br>
However, I can't get Xiphos (on Ubuntu) to recognize either the
compressed or uncompressed module when I add a local folder name and
then choose it. The Modules Install/Update tab remains totally blank. I
suspect my conf file is the problem -- either the placement of it or
the contents of it.<br>
<br>
I'm trying to follow instructions in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/DevTools:confFiles">http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/DevTools:confFiles</a>.<br>
<blockquote>1/ Should the config file be placed in the same folder as
the .bz* files? (I can't see that the wiki tells me where to put the
file.)<br>
<br>
2/ Does the DataPath directive indicate where to *find* the module
files (relative to the conf file), or where to *put* them?<br>
<br>
3/ Would you expect me be able to navigate in the Xiphos Module Manager
to any old local folder where I created my module (like I'm trying to
do), or do I manually have to copy my module into
.sword/modules/texts/ztext/?<br>
<br>
4/ Can you see anything wrong/missing in my skeletal matigsalug.conf
file -- this is the one for the compressed module:<br>
<blockquote>[Matigsalug]<br>
DataPath=.modules/text/ztext/matigsalug/<br>
Description=Matigsalug Scriptures<br>
ModDrv=zText<br>
CompressType=ZIP<br>
BlockType=BOOK<br>
Direction=LtoR<br>
SourceType=OSIS<br>
Encoding=UTF-8<br>
Abbreviation=MBTV<br>
Version=0.9<br>
Category=Biblical Texts<br>
LCSH=Bible.<br>
Lang=mbt<br>
</blockquote>
5/ Is there something else I could be doing wrong? I'm sure it's
probably something very simple. <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-)

Thanks,<br>
