msilva Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi Friends, I am a brand new user and have not had much time to explore, so forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere. When using an English Bible such as ESVS, hovering over a given word with my cursor yields yields only key word information in instant details. When I hover over words in the NA28 I see all information, including the paring. Is there a way for me to display more information in instant details when using the English text? I believe I have every field checked in the Instant Details preferences. Also, I am using Windows (Don't make fun of me too much.), if that helps. Blessings! - Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Try the Compare Text preferences and set the Source texts there to the tagged texts you own. Perhaps they are set to the demo texts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Jenney Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hi, Marco! In addition to following Helen's advice, be sure you have the "Parsing" box check in Preferences>Instant Details>Parsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Falling Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I will only add that, though I will not make fun of your Windows machine, I think it's kinda sad that you have to use one. Long live the Mac! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Jenney Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 While I am a devout Mac loyalist, I do envy Windows users for the tablets they have that offer a full version of Windows. I wish Apple would give us such an option, if for no other reason than to run a full version of Accordance on the go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msilva Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks folks! I will try these suggestions when I get a chance! Dr. J, I'm running a Surface Pro 3 and it is pretty handy to have full software programs in tablet mode. BTW, thanks for your podcasts. They have been a great help in getting acquainted with Accordance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr J – While I agree that being able to run a full Accordance on an iPad would be nice, I would still run into the same problem as I do now – not enough screen real estate! That is what usually makes me head for a computer. If we had a larger iPad, then it becomes only marginally more portable than a laptop. I guess I will always be using my devices differently.

R. Mansfield Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I think we've totally hijacked this thread (fortunately Marco's question seems to be answered), but I'd still like to see FOUR panes on the iPad app. Crazy, I know. But less crazy once the 12" iPad Pro is released in September. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Λύχνις Δαν Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Dell XPS 18 if you want a really decent sized tablet I was wondering the other day if Apple would consider an OSX iPad but .... ThxD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 You never know what Apple will do. They especially surprise us in the post-Steve Jobs era. Nevertheless, I still believe they are on track for iOS to increase and OS X to decrease. Remember that although the Mac was released in 1984, Apple continued to develop and sell the Apple II through 1992. I believe that iOS will continue to become more capable until one day OS X is not needed. Or Apple will find that they are happy leaving the trucks (traditional desktop and laptop computers) to Windows. This is just my guesswork, but I really do believe that mobile is the future, and my hunch is Apple is betting on this, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading some beta Windows 10 the other day and it seems Windows is going that way also - to the point where mobile and desktop OS is the same - no doubt which paradigm dominates the resulting OS will be interesting. It was already evident in Windows 8 - though that was really not well received in some circles. They seem to making adjustments in 10 trying to find a better balance. We'll see. It's a great benefit to the software companies to consolidate the platforms if they can work all the issues out. thx D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msilva Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 If I may insert my 2 cents into the Apple fandom display here, I have to say that it has been a real pleasure to use the Surface Pro 3. I haven't used Accordance much, as I just downloaded it a day or 2 ago, but when I was using the-Bible-software-which-must-not-be-named it was really a pleasant experience. Before I got the SP3 I thought long and hard about whether I should get a Mac, but I'm glad I went the route I did. Having the full software capabilities when I'm away from my desk is great. I am definitely an advocate for mobile platforms, but I tend to find myself left wanting in functionality, and for continuity in workspace, it's just really nice to have the same platform on-the-go as when I'm at the desk.

rpavich Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I also don't have any greek parsing showing up when I use the ESV and hover over a word in the NT(On macbook) It does show in the OT but not the NT. Should it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabian Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Do you think the rumor about a 12" iPad Pro is really true? I believe it make sense, to take the same 12" screen and make to different products. This reduce the product costs.

Ken Simpson Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I also don't have any greek parsing showing up when I use the ESV and hover over a word in the NT(On macbook) It does show in the OT but not the NT. Should it? Yes, if you have the right setup. You need to have a Greek NT text that contains the parsing. And it needs to be identified in the compare texts preference (as Helen suggested) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
