Tom Castle Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I know there are a lot of other posts about this... but have we come up with an easier way of identifying resources in the Library window? I know at one point the Helen said they were planning on working on that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I'm fuzzy on what we're suggesting. A new type of window, or displaying additional info, or something else? One thing I'd love is smarter search. If I type 'apparatus', it really is sad that the live search doesn't find my modules that have apparatus in the name, just because they begin with a different word.

The short names of the modules are REALLY a pain. If I'm not familiar with a module, I have to open it up to find out what it is. I'd like to address that for starters. A more robust search method for anything in the names, etc. would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I made a spreadsheet for my Library. ;-) https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AhmptlH8EDLucnZnNGJBYVNXem5sTmtVUXF0d1RGQWc&hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danzac Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Totally agree with the smarter search. And beyond that, the smaller names aren't always very descriptive. I have it on good authority that oaktree is working on this. Especially useful would be the ability to recognize what is "in" modules too. For instance, If I typed in "Eusebius" I'd like to know what modules I could find his texts in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'm going to fire up this topic again, rather than start a new one, though my question is tangential to the preceding. I just did a Search All, and got a long list of hits. But when I clicked on one - "Quran - Eng. - Pickthall's Trans." - I got a message that it "is not available to Accordance at this time." Now, that's not a module I use often (or at all), and I don't find it among my Modules, and I don't find it among the Products, so I would _assume_ it's an older module that has been eliminated. (Yes? No?) My question is: Can the library be tasked with checking to see if modules it lists still exist, and eliminating references to any that don't? Thanks.

Helen Brown Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 This is probably a User Tool of yours. I think Search All in 9.4.2 no longer asks for missing modules, but the idea of a routine to find them in the Library is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Yentzer Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I have also struggled with knowing what exactly some of the titles were in my library. I personally like the idea of a hover window that would show once I hovered over an abbreviation, essentially providing a "more info" of the selected text.

Joel Brown Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 If you mouse over an item in the Library, its full title appears as a Tool Tip or Help tag. Is this different from what people are requesting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 One thing I'd love is smarter search. If I type 'apparatus', it really is sad that the live search doesn't find my modules that have apparatus in the name, just because they begin with a different word. Since this got resurrected, I'm happy to see that searching for the second word in a module now finds it. I had notice that was added when searching for long names was added. I still find it odd that it doesn't find just any old matching string. For instance, I can't type a quick '11' to find NIV11 or searching for 'valera' doesn't find the Reina-Valera RVR09. I have noticed that you've done some smart elimination, such as searching for NRSV doesn't match up the AYBD, even though that's in the long name.
