Separate Parallel View and Compare Verses view #197

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently, there is one parallel view, which gets used for both version 
comparison (the same text in different versions listed one after another) and 
parallel view (the same verse in each version is displayed side by side in a 
table).  This means that you cannot use both at the same time.

However, while the implementation may technically be very similar, the intended 
usage is actually quite different.  Parallel view is meant to have a few 
versions in parallel, so the version list should be inclusive, with only the 
versions the user selected being shown.  On the other hand, with version 
comparison you probably want every version to appear unless it has explicitly 
been excluded, so that they can be compared.  In the same way, parallel view 
should probably be continuous scrolling and at the chapter level, while verse 
compare view should remain at the verse / passage level.

Ultimately it would be good to be able to start off with a Bible window and 
just add an additional Bible / commentary and you have your parallel.  I doubt 
we will do this soon.

Another wishlist feature would be to be able to change the order the versions 
appear in (rather than just using alphabetical order).

If this is being rewritten, issue 62 should also be considered.

Maybe clicking on the book name in the compare verses window should change the 
current verse (to the verse in the window) as well as changing the current 
book?  Or maybe that would just confuse?
