Hi all, This should be the final beta version of MacSword 1.2. This version should be final, unless any bugs are reported to me. If you have any problems, bugs, or burning suggestions make them now, otherwise this is what you'll be stuck with. Don't assume someone else has already told me, they are probably thinking the same. New Features of MacSword 1.2: Editing and creation of modules Vastly improved searching Indexed search for instant results Powerful new search syntax Fuzzy searching for those impossible to spell biblical names Searching in books Multiple search windows Bookmark contextual menu Parallel bibles The searching is based on lucene, whose syntax can be found here: http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html . Strongs numbers are indexed under strong. Here are some examples: strong:g1234 "jesus christ" hezikia~ fire OR flame lov* You can get the 1.2 beta here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/macsword/MacSword-1.2beta2.zip? download God Bless --Will |

Hi all, Many people have been asking for personal module editing. So I thought I would release a early beta version for you. It'd be great if you let me know what you think about it, the user interface and all the other aspects. You can create new modules (File menu) and edit them (Edit menu cmd-E). You can also edit the Personal module if you have already downloaded it. When editing I currently support only bold (cmd-B) and italic (cmd-I), I was thinking that this would keep personal notes clean and simple, rather than worrying about fonts and colours. Let me know your opinion. Lastly to create a link use underline (cmd-U), links will automatically be translated to bible links unless written otherwise. j3.16 is translated to //bible/j3.16 whereas //strongshebrew/1234 remains the same. This version should be stable, and I will ensure that any modules written are future proof. :) You can get the 1.2 beta here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/macsword/MacSword-1.2beta1.zip? download God Bless --Will |
