Context Slider Not Applying when Tab is Tied

Recommended Posts

This issue is a bit difficult to explain but I typically use a single "master" tab to select the main text I'm studying. Then, I use multiple other tied tabs for commentaries, syntax module, translator's notes, etc.

 

When I do this I have one tab for other "Translations". This tab contains several other translation panes. It is tied to my "master" tab.

 

If I enter a text into my master tab the "translation" tab updates according. However, I the context slider of the "translation" tab is ignored entirely.

 

For example, if I search 1Cor 12:1 in the "master" tab with the context slider set to 0 then go to the "translations" linked tab where the context slider is also set to 0, I still see all text.

This is intentional. Context applies to the tab and all its panes, but not to other tabs even if tied. All tying does is scroll the other tabs to match the verse at the top of the scrolled tab.

Thinking about this more, should the context of the pane in question be different from the context slider that is on that pane (see picture 2 above). That, I think, is what is confusing to me. My expectation would be that the pane always observes the slider for for pane regardless of any ties to other panes.

Jeremy, the issue is a misunderstanding of Tie vs Contents.  In your Translations tab, you've specified a blank search, which means to display the entire text.  This is unrelated to the context slider, as you are already showing all text.  This is also unrelated to 'Tie', which means to scroll them to the same verse.  If you want to limit the results to what you are searching for in your Master tab, you should set the search to be [CONTENTS Master] instead of blank - then it will match exactly the verses displayed in Master.

 

Does this make sense?

Yep, that helps. In the back of mind I guess I always thought of a “tie” as a CONTENTS search. This makes much more sense! Thanks!

 

Edit: Actually, this is even more helpful than I realized as it also fixes a few other minor annoyances. This is part of why I love Accordance too! You've equipped us with so many tools in the toolbox it is pretty shocking how many things can be done.

 

Thanks!
