New Passage Guide

Ken McGuire

I'm not really happy with the new passage guide, at least in the default version.  While the exegetical guide has almost certainly been more powerful, the passage guide has been the non-intimidating introduction to the power of LDLS is the past.

1)  The current passage guide does not have the "Other Tools" feature to send you to other features.

2)  The current default passage guide does not have the parallel passages section.  When I added the parallel passage section and then changed passages, it did not keep this section when I typed in a new passage.  In addition, it did not display as many sources for parallel passages as I have on my 3.0 setup, but this may be only a beta issue.

Yes, I know that we can modify this, but I really think parallel passages is important enough to be in the default.

3) I know that this is just as much a collection issue, but...  Because global searches were so slow, we set up  various collections to search only portions of our library.  While the initial cause for this is gone in 4.0, I have gotten used to seeing the separate piles of search results from various sources.  I have found it useful to look separately at Patristics, Aquinas, Luther, Classical Reformed, Oxford Movement, and various 20th Century readings from "academic" theology and journals, as well as locked books I have...  While I understand that Locked Book search is an accidental feature which is going away, I have not yet figured out how to replicate this type of information in the new version.

I thought was puting it in "features" until it actually went up.  I'm sure it was my mistake, but perhaps the main beta forum can have a "are you sure" option before posting?

Also, is there a way for us to move our own posts when we make this type of mistake?
