Kristin Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) I am experiencing a weird issue with the timeline, and I am not sure if it is a bug or user error. In any case, whenever I search for anything, 1 Corinthians is highlighted as the hit. If I search for Revelation, Moses, or Luke, it really does not matter, EVERYTHING points to 1 Corinthians. I restarted Accordance but it is still happening. I will attach a screenshot where I search for Moses so you can see my results. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Helen Brown Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 1 Corinthians is the top item in the list. I think you need to click on Moses after you find him, and then click OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Helen, I am sorry for being confusing. I mean that I did click on Moses and pressed "OK," and after pressing "Ok" the search box disappeared and it gave me the result of 1 Corinthians. I then went back and searched for him again to make the screenshot as a visual indicator of what I had searched for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Well, the search is working for me. Is it now working for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Helen, No, it does not matter what I search for, it highlights 1 Corinthians after I press ok and the search window disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 What version of Accordance and what system are you using? Please update to 12.3.6 if not there already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 What version of Accordance and what system are you using? Please update to 12.3.6 if not there already. Hi Helen, It says I am already using 12.3.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 And your Mac system? I cannot reproduce this bug whatever I do. It does not require a click on the searched name, it always goes to the selected name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not require a click on the searched name, it always goes to the selected name. Hi Helen,I am using Mac Mojave 10.14.6. On another note, (which may or may not be connected) my computer keeps wanting me to update to the new operating system Catalina. I have not done it yet though since I am worried about Accordance. Will Accordance still work ok on Catalina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Yes, 12 works fine on Catalina, earlier versions were not 64 Bit. You might try going to your Home folder/Library/Preferences/Accordance Preferences/Timeline and adding a -old to the file name to force Accordance to make a new one, in case it got corrupted.

Hi Helen, I will try what you suggested, but I want to check and make sure I understand correctly. So when I see the Timeline in Preferences, I change it to Timeline-old with a dash. Is that correct? Or do I change it to Timeline.old with a period? I am sorry for this ignorant question, but I wanted to check before I start changing file names.

Helen Brown Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 It' doesn't really matter as long as you leave the file type suffix at the end, it should be .acc1, and that's only in case you decide to go back to the present file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Helen, Thank you for clarifying. I followed your instructions but it is still highlighting 1 Corinthians, no matter what I search for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 In case it helps with diagnostics, I made a short video recording from where I go to the search box, type in "Ruth," and press Ok, and it brings me to 1 Corinthians. However, as I tried to upload it the forum told me that I can't upload that type of file. If this would be useful at all, please let me know what file type I can use. I am not sure if you need it though as there really isn't more than what I just described. Thank you for any help you are able to provide.

Joel Brown Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Kristin, thanks for the report. I think I've been able to reproduce it. However, one question: I notice from your screenshot, the button "Search in English" is visible. This normally only occurs if your system, or Accordance (or both) are in a non-English language. Can you let me know which language it is in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you let me know which language it is in? Hi Joel, Thanks for your message. My operating system is in German. The Accordance interface is set to English, but parts of it (such as the Library) are in German (I assume since it is following the operating system, but I am not sure). In case it helps to know, this is how it has always been ever since I got Accordance and it has worked fine. The problem with the Timeline just recently started.

Joel Brown Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks for your report, Kristin. I've found and fixed the bug for the next rev of v12, and the upcoming Accordance 13. I *think* that if you uncheck 'Search in English' it should search better for you in the meantime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I unchecked "search in English" and that fixed the problem. Take care, Kristin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
