Sword path: Resource: twice #153

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
In menu File/Set Sword Path, there are 2 paths given:
- C:\Program Files\CrossWire\BPBible\resources
- resources
Looking at menu File/Manage books, those are the same path, as the message
is given there: 'This book is not active as it is shadowed by a book at a
different path.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-> Take only one of the two paths.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
BPBible 0.4.6 in WinXP

If the problem happens with one particular module (Bible, commentary,
dictionary, or book), what module is it?

Please provide any additional information below.

It's true that it's not correct behaviour.  However, this should not affect the 
functionality of the application at all, so I don't think it's a high priority 
one to 
fix.  [If you do find it altering behaviour, please report back].

This happened to me also. I has Crosswire installed with the Bible Desktop in 
the same folder. Then i installed BPBible (first time ever) into its default 
location, but when i tried to add books (via the File>Install) none showed up, 
and Manage" had  "This book is not active as it is shadowed by a book in a 
different path." after every installed book. Restarting it was to no avail. 

So installed another copy of BP it into the Crosswire folder, and the same 
problem remained. Then i uninstalled it (only one instance was in Add/Remove) 
and  reinstalled it into the Crosswire folder and then i could add books  which 
show up, though the KJD and TSK both work but have that error message in 
Manage.., even after i uninstalled the Bible Desktop (which does not have a 
right click copy function), as i thought i might have conflicted with it.

Install books is intended to install new books (from a zip file).  Just to make 
sure, you were adding new books via a zip file and they were listed in the list 
of installed books?  If not, then I think it probably showed no books because 
there were no books installed other than internal BPBible ones (which can be 
shadowed by the resource directory issue, but won't be seen as they don't show 
in the normal view).

If you are wanting to reuse books that you have already installed for The SWORD 
Project or BibleDesktop, then you will need to use "File > Set Sword Paths" and 
add the path for where that application put the books (in the case of SWORD, 
probably C:\Program Files\CrossWire\SWORD).  I think it will automatically look 
in the current directory, so if you install into the same directory as the 
CrossWire app it will be able to find the books that were installed for it.

Yes, i did point to the zip files in the Crosswire folder, and again, that is 
where i last  installed it,   though i see C:\Program Files\BPBible is full of 
files.  In Set Sword Paths paths, i see both C:\Program 
Files\CrossWire\BPBible\resources and C:\Program Files\CrossWire\The SWORD 
Project, plus a location simply called resources. 

 In Manage books, Headwords.., KJD and TSK all have the "This book is not active as it is shadowed by a book in a different path" under Resources, and above it are the these titles in the two locales listed above in the Crosswire folder.  But again, both KJD and TSK work, thank God for them. .
