Tag system/ lack of Personal Commentary module support #235

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 

1. No way to use the Personal Commentary Module, and the tagging system is very 
cumbersome to use as footnote system since each tag in the whole Bible has to 
be unique to find the right note and to prevent software errors.

Otherwise I really like the GUI altho tabs would be a little better than the 
drop down book selection. Module import is wonderful! Except for the personal 
footnote/tag type issue I like this program much better than Xiphos. If the tag 
could be made to reference only the verse where it is put - like a footnote - 
or the personal commentary module could include some kind of indicator in the 
Bible text that a personal note exists, this would be my goto program - even 
over The Word.

What version of the product are you using? latest - On what operating system? 
Vista Ultimate SP2  Is it the PortableApps version or the standard version? yes

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

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I understand what your comments actually are.
As far as the Personal Commentary goes, it has had a reputation in SWORD 
circles as having an ill-defined format and being treated completely 
differently by the different applications, so we don't support it.

I don't know what you mean by "each tag in the whole Bible has to be unique to 
find the right note and to prevent software errors."

Tags are designed to support topical notes - a number of verses linked to the 
same topic.  I don't know if you aware of the "comment" functionality, but it 
sounds to me like that's much more what you are looking for.  It associates the 
comment with a verse without needing a topic title, and displays a dagger next 
to the verse that the comment is on.  I suggest you have a look at 
http://code.google.com/p/bpbible/wiki/UserNotes if you haven't already.

If there are software errors, can you please include here a copy of the full 
error message and if possible steps to make them happen?

Closing as it's unclear what the problem is and there has been no feedback for 
more than 2 years.
