User Tool Improvements
Typed User Tools
  • User Tools can now assume a fundamental “Type” of content, which enables additional Accordance capabilities.
    • Possible types are:
      • Dictionary (i.e. Articles organized by English or Roman word)
      • Greek Dictionary (i.e. Articles organized by Greek word)
      • Hebrew Dictionary (i.e. Articles organized by Hebrew word)
      • Commentary (i.e. Articles organized by Verse Reference)
      • General Tool (i.e. No particular organization)
  • A Typed User Tool gains an additional primary field, based on content of the relevant language found within a Title Paragraph. For instance, if a title paragraph is marked “Adam”, if the type is Dictionary, then Adam will be included in the primary field. For any other type of tool, since Adam is not in the primary language, it will be in the “Titles” field.
  • In addition, converting a Typed User Tool to a regular Tool will enable amplification options, such as being the preferred Greek Lexicon, or preferred Commentary in instant details.
  • Types can be chosen upon creation and import, as well as modified at any time using the new “Tool Options” menu.
Other Improvements
  • Support for Importing User Tools as unicode
    • Importing plain text will attempt to detect UTF16 vs UTF8 via BOM, or if no BOM present, seeing if any invalid UTF8 characters. If so, assume it is Windows ANSI / MacRoman.
    • HTML will now always import to a unicode tool, but still read the “charset=” meta code to assist in interpreting the encoding of the characters therein.
    • PDFs will now import as unicode user tools
  • All newly created User Tools are unicode
  • Saved User Tools will require version 14 to be read due to new features and trimmed word groups
  • Added Tool Options pop-up to User Tool Window with the following options
    • Ability to change the User Tool Type
    • Convert to Non-Unicode
    • Convert to Permanent Tool
  • Added Support for new fields
    • Uncial / Coptic
    • Syriac
    • Arabic
    • Transliteration
    • Manuscript
  • Fields are populated based on Unicode font language code
  • Added option to set all non-unicode original language text with a default font.
  • User Tools no longer show dimmed empty user groups
  • Removed code for reading < Accordance v5 User Tools
  • Removed the Font Name/Style popups from a unicode user tool. Everything should be default font, or an auto-converted original language font
  • The Field token no longer lists the 6 default word groups (dimming the unused ones), but now lists only the fields used in the tool.
  • Converting User Tools between unicode and non-unicode requires a confirmation, as information may be lost either way. Going to unicode may lose some subtleties of Yehudit, and going from unicode doesn’t support certain characters, like Cyrillic or Chinese.
  • Option to save and close any open edit windows
Easy Answers (Curriculum)
  • Support for editable blanks and boxes within Accordance Tools to enable answering questions in workbooks, Bible studies, etc.
  • Answers are stored in a file of type .amyans inside an Answers folder in the Accordance Files folder.
  • After filling in the blanks, the answers are displayed directly in the tool.
  • A language icon menu allows the user to choose Default, Greek, or Hebrew keyboards.
  • The gear menu includes an option to Hide (and Show) Answer Boxes.
  • File—>Save Text Selection now includes a Tool Answers… option. These are saved to an rtf file which contains the text of the answers and a URL link to each answer in context.

Phrasing
  • Allows the user to add Return and Tab characters in any verse of a Text module too show discourse structure
  • Phrasing is stored in a file of type .amyphrase inside a Phrasing folder in the Accordance Files folder.
  • The Text pane gear menu contains a Phrasing submenu with the following items:
    • Phrasing Break: adds a carriage return (shift-return)
    • Phrasing Indent: adds a tab (shift-tab)
    • Phrasing Delete: deletes any selected phrasing characters (shift-delete)
    • Hide/Show Phrasing: Hides and shows the phrasing
    • Lock/Unlock Phrasing: prevents or allows editing of the phrasing
  • When adding a new tab at a place in the text where there is no phrasing indention, a return character is automatically added to force a line break.

Go to section >>>

Quick-Click Navigation of Texts
  • A Table of Contents icon now appears on all Search tabs to the left of the Context Slider
  • Click to select book, then click chapter, then click verse
  • Double-click at any point to go to complete the navigation
  • Click and hold on any book, chapter, or verse to complete the navigation

    • When using source highlighting, fixed the occasional highlighting of the wrong word in Hebrew Bibles for words after a Ketiv/Qere form.

Unicode Hyperlink fixes
  • Accordance was not properly creating certain Resource/Accord links consistently across User Notes/Tools and Papers. (e.g. Strong's Module/Field name)
  • When pasting Resource/Accord Links into a Unicode User Note/Tool, the search argument could be displayed as gibberish (e.g. Greek/Hebrew text). Now the search argument is displayed as unicode with a valid (hidden) hyperlink.
  • Hidden Hyperlinks with a mixture of Unicode/NonUnicode display text (e.g. a Resource Link with a Unicode search argument) could become corrupt after an (unrelated) Edit window update.
  • The Edit window would corrupt certain types of links (and display error message) after using the backspace key to delete unicode characters.
Miscellaneous Fixes

  • Display of grammatical tags for Unicode text in the Search tab entry box. This mainly applies to Arabic text that is Unicode, such as the Quran.

  • Misplaced Help button and multiple tags label in the Search Tag Details dialogs.
