Bible Analyzer 3.6.1 Released
Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 7:30 am
We have just released Bible Analyzer version 3.6.1 which has several improvements and new features. Here is a list of the major changes:
Go to Verse:
The Verse History box now doubles as a Go To Verse entry box. It will accept nearly all conventional abbreviations and some not so conventional, such as, Gen, ge 1:, Ge1, Mat, Mt, rom 4:5, etc. If only a book is entered it will go to chapter 1 by default. Case or periods after the book (Gen.) are not important, but a period or space can be used in place of a colon (Gen 3.15). The Alt+F Accelerator key will set the focus on the Go To Verse box for quick reference entry.
Bible Panel:
The currently selected verse in the Bible Panel is now highlighted by a shaded background. Clicking anywhere inside a verse will select it. Also, clicking on a word will make it the current word, thus available for dictionary lookup.
Context Menu:
The right-click Context Menu has been updated to include a Commentary Entries submenu, a Copy Selection item, and a search of a highlighted selection can now be made similar to the single word search. If the selection is more that 15 characters it is truncated in the menu.
Verse Popup:
Verse popups now can show multiple verses and red letters. The maximum number of verses can be selected in Preferences.
Searching:
Advanced Bible Search, Proximity Search, Wordlists, certain Statistics, and Bible Compare can now search contiguous and non-contiguous ranges. Examples of searching a contiguous range: Gen – Lev, Gen 1 - Lev 10, Mat 2:5 - Luk 12:12, etc. Non-contiguous ranges must be separated by a comma, thus Gen 5-10, Lev 10-12:10, Mat 5:5-7:20 as a group will search only between those references. Any combination of books, chapters, and verses can be used.
(Ranges like Mat 5:10-20 meaning verses will not work. The parser will interpret the 20 as chapter 20. The way to form an entry for verses is Mat 5:10-5:20. Another issue is 1-3 John. The accepted method is 1Jo-3Jo, etc.)
Furthermore, there is a drop-down history so previous ranges can be retrieved. There is also a search history drop-down that will remember every detail of a search, except the current Bible text.
Strong’s numbers can now be searched either by right-click or direct entry as well as a Word/Number combination (available in Greek texts also).
Image Viewer:
User supplied .jpg and .gif images can now be viewed in the Image Viewer. Simply place the files in the ...Modules/Image folder and they will be found under the User Images heading in the Image List.
There are also various other bug fixes and minor enhancements.
