Pin Bible versions to top of dropdown list #1590

Open BryceSteuer opened 3 years ago

BryceSteuer commented 3 years ago

When doing evangelism in different languages, it is very impractical to spend a lot of time trying to remember, then locate, the versions I have for each language, especially since they are acronyms. What would be great is the ability to pin the versions I need to the top of the dropdown for quick access when I need, rather than franctically scroll through trying to find the version/language I need. I realize that you can hold down the Bible icon and have some options that make it the aforementioned situation easier, but what I am proposing is the ability to pin certain versions to the top of the dropdown scrollbar for maximum ease and speed. Also seeing that I have so many versions, it is a bit of a hassle to scroll through all them to find KJV, for instance; if I could pin KJV to the top of the scrollbar, I would have much greater ease of access.

How many versions would you want to pin?

Probably three would be sufficient.

This does sound like a good idea to me.

Another option, especially if you do this a lot, would be to have a separate workspace for this. In that workspace open 3 windows (or whatever amount), with pin and sync enabled, and open a different version in each window. Then it will be easy to show all, or few by tapping the buttons for the windows you wish to show/hide.

@timbze That's a great idea as well. Thanks.

I like the idea too. I find myself always selecting NASB - it would be easier if it were at the top. I think being able to indicate translations as 'Preferred' could just position them at the top of the list. Probably need a line under the preferred group to just to indicate that this is not fully alphabetical.
