More Questions...Analytics, Research, Popovers, Clipboard Monitoring, etc

So, I have more questions:  

1. Does Analytics work in Research (Search All) feature? Meaning, I get the search results for searching for a word in all of my resources, can I then click on the Analytics button and choose any of those options that are typically available (specifically the breakdown by word, the different forms, the lists of underlining words, and frequencies, etc? (I see in Research you can change it from Excerpts to Full Test. That is nice. I don't particularly care for Excerpts. Research is really one of the selling points for me. I'm glad I was able to access it in the Lite version, if even unintentionally).  

2. When click-holding a scripture reference in a bible dictionary (or any module) where the reference is near the edge of the screen, the popover comes up but part of it is off the screen. All the options in the right side are inaccessible. Is this normal? Is there any way to keep the popover completely on the screen no matter where the reference might be that we want to see?

3. Are there any external add-ons or extension for say browsers or clipboards where I can clip something from another external book or from the web and paste it into a chosen Stack without having to leave the book or external browser? I'm sure this can be done within the internal browser. Just wondering about externally?

4. Also does Accordance have any "clipboard monitoring" for Scriptures that are copied? Say I'm in a browser or an ebook on my laptop reading and I come across a bible reference. In theWord, I just copy this reference (or a string of them, or the whole page I'm reading that has references throughout) and when I copy it to the clipboard a window pops up and I get a list of those verses in the order they appear. It's VERY handy. Just wondering if Accordance has anything like this?  

5. Also, can the internal Browser in Accordance display html files that are saved locally to the hard drive? (Just tested this - the browser is conveniently included in Lite version). I was not able to open a saved local html file from the File > Open option. But I was able to drag a local html file from the desktop to the internal browser and that seemed to open fine. PLUS, the Instant Details worked great on the references in each html. Popover don't seem to work at all. Clicking on the link shows it in a separate pane, but then sends the browser back to the home page, so not sure what that's about. (I use this frequently as I go to a remote camp in the wood frequently, sometimes for days or weeks at a time where there is no internet access. If I have everything I want to read [articles and webpages] on the local harddrive I can get a lot of research done. Without this, I would be relegated to counting fish as they swim by down on the dock). This solve at least part of my problem from above, as I'm pretty certain there is no external clipboard/reference monitor in Accordance. But, the Browser now has become pretty relevant for me, especially if the hover popover will work for me in the full version).

1) The Analytics in the Research is working and very powerful, but does not support every analytic.  It supports aggregate and comparative results for the Hits Graph, Analysis Graph, Pie Chart, and Bar chart.  It does not support the text based analytics like the Analysis, as these are pretty specifically tied to a single text.

 

2) This is a bug already fixed in 13.0.5 for high-DPI monitors on Windows.

 

3) I'm not familiar with any, but users may have designed some that I am unaware of.

 

4) I personally find clipboard monitoring very intrusive, so doing it always is an unlikely feature.  However, we do support Get Verses, which enables quickly getting verses and pasting them into a program, like MS Word.  Also, if you are using Accordance's internal web browser, all scripture references are automatically linked to be in Instant Details and clickable, effectively the same thing that you are asking.

 

5) Yes, the internal browser can read local files as well as remote, you just need to paste their path into the URL bar.  You could also make a Stack, User Note, User Tool, or Paper that contains all of the local links to your files, for ease of access.

 

You've mentioned a few times that the click-and-hold doesn't work for you for the popover.  Have you tried an Alt+click instead?

I've requested a filebrowser for that.
