Ken Simpson Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Hi all, I am helping look after the Accordance Exchange now. It has been very quiet for some time now, but there are some pretty good (if now beginning to age) resources. It's worth having a browse. Nearly everything there will work in v9 and v10 (except some of the automation resources which were built a long time ago). A few I would recommend are: 1. David Lang's excellent preset Search Ranges which are in the Highlights section. Unstuff the range and place it in /Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/Accordance Preferences. Rename your old search ranges to (say) Search Range.old and then put in place David's new file. If you have done major modifications to your search ranges, don't do this as you can't merge the files. When you restart Accordance, admire your new comprehensive search ranges (which you can still modify and add to as you wish!) 2. Daniel Zystra's Parts of Speech highlights in the same area. You can import this file into Accordance and see how the parts of speech are dsitributed. 3. For this doing critical studies on the Pentateuch, David Martyn's highlight file on the modified Wellhausen Documentary hypothesis is also very interesting. Remember you can search on highlight styles... There are some nice Graphics for your desktop in the Graphics area, and an excellent MT-LXX Merge example by Helen Brown in the Saved Windows area. We'd love more contributions of non-copyrighted material, and it would be a great way to encourage other Accordance users with your hard work, or the things you have found useful. It's a great companion resource to the forums! Edited October 5, 2012 by Ken Simpson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Laurence Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hi Ken It sounds interesting and I've given this a go, but I don't know how to access what I've done. I've tried the Documentary Hypothesis one and unzipped it in my Highlights folder. I've started-up, shut-down and restarted Accordance. I've tried looking through modules, and just looking at a pentateuch verse in the main window - nothing (well nothing out of the ordinary or new). So I guess I need to be doing something else. Do you know what it is? Thanks Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Terry Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Hello, Nick: Here are some steps to try: 1) Make sure you have expanded the file, it is a compressed 'sit' file. If you do not have a program to expand sit files, get 'TheUnarchiver' from the Mac App store and Install it- its free 2) After expanding the file move the resulting highlight file into your 'Documents/Accordance Files/Highlights' folder 3) Start up or restart Accordance 4) Make sure you can view the Highlights palette Alt+CMD+3 toggles it on or off 5) With the highlights palette visible, click on the drop down in the upper left of the highlight palette and select 'Sources' 6) Open a text in Accordance and navigate to one of the first five books of the Bible - you should see the highlights Edited October 9, 2012 by Greg Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Laurence Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Many thanks Greg, it was the highlights palette bit that I didn't know. Got it now. Regards Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks for helping Nick out Greg. I just love the way the Accordance community helps, advises and corrects one another! Glad you're all fixed up Nick, and I am sorry I have been off the air for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Terry Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Nick: Excellent! Glad to help. Many others have helped me, too. As Ken says, that is what makes this a great forum . . . . with a great product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abram K-J Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Great! A question, re this: "There are some nice Graphics for your desktop in the Graphics area, and an excellent MT-LXX Merge example by Helen Brown in the Saved Windows area." Looks like that requires BHS-W4. Any way of updating that to work with BHS-T or HMT-W4 (what I have on Accordance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hi Abram. I'll have a look tomorrow and update it if I can. Thanks for the catch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Simpson Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hi Abram, I think there's a little problem in the MT-LXX module in Accordance 10. We'll look at it a bit more and see what can be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abram K-J Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Sounds good--I'll look forward to hearing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The MERGE search is currently broken, a fix will be posted very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hefin jones Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Maybe the wrong place for this but give it a try. The 1545 Luther bible in exchange doesn't seem to expand with either apple's or stuffit's utilities after downloading. Not really getting any error messages either. Tried downloading another bible and had no problems whatsoever. Is there a problem with the luther file? Hefin Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Mercer Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 G'day Hefin I was able to download - it did take a while to expand, but it did and is now in my user Tools. Could be worth trying again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Simpson Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hi all, there was certainly a problem in the Luther file, and in about a dozen others. I am in the process of fixing them up. The Luther file was updated before Andrew tried to download. Glad to hear it worked Andrew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
