[sword-devel] Ezra Project 0.8.1 released

[Tobias Klein]

Hi Troy,

Thanks for trying the new version! :)

That previously installed modules are still available is actually not a 
bug. I'm importing the module texts into the sqlite database of Ezra 
Project. I know that this may not be necessary and I could read text 
directly from the modules during runtime (like any other Sword 
frontend). But it's based on how I designed Ezra Project initially 
before I integrated it with Sword. Initially I was working off of a 
database without Sword. Last year I ported that software (it was 
web-based before) into an Electron desktop application. I kept the 
database interface and integrated Sword in a way where I import the text 
into the database when installing any module. When removing a module via 
Ezra, the module is also removed from the database again. Currently I'm 
still relying on the database concept also due to how verses are linked 
with tags.

So the other thing you observed is that modules installed to 
/usr/share/sword are not appearing in the frontend, huh?
Looks like I should have tested that a bit more. On Windows I did and 
there it works.
Let me ask you a question about SWMgr here. Is it supposed to 
automatically augment the "global module path" to the standard user 
module path?
On WIndows I could only make SWMgr aware of both the user path and the 
global path by explicitly calling SWMgr::augmentModules().

It looks like this at the moment:

     this->_mgr = new 
SWMgr(this->_fileSystemHelper.getUserSwordDir().c_str());
#ifdef _WIN32
this->_mgr->augmentModules(this->_fileSystemHelper.getSystemSwordDir().c_str());
#endif

For some reason I thought that on Linux the module path is extended 
automatically. Could you shed some light on that? Thanks!

Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium! Earlier my wife and I walked by a 
restaurant called "Troy" and I was remembering you.

Best regards,
Tobias
