How to have multiple favorite bibles

Sorry if this should be elementary but i searched the forums a bit and couldn't find it asked so here it is (hope it's not a duplicate)...

I have 2 issues that are similar so I'll put them both in this post.

ISSUE Alpha :

I have BHS (Hebrew) set as my preferred bible for OT things so in the mobile app that works fine.

How do I set NA28 (Greek) to be my default for NT things?

in other words, is there a way to have more than 1 "preferred" bible?

---------------

ISSUE Beta:

When using tools that reference LXX passages, clicking them in the app brings up the Hebrew instead of the Greek. Is there a way to set the app to show LXX references as Greek and not as Hebrew?

Thanks!

Here's an example from ISSUE Beta using the Lexham research Lexicon:

in other words, is there a way to have more than 1 "preferred" bible?

Your "preferred" bible is your highest prioritized bible, and you can only have one. The best place to manage this is on the desktop app. "Advanced prioritization" does not work on mobile (unless this has changed).

If users want to have original language tools pop up in Hebrew and Greek, this can be done by putting a Hebrew OT only resource as #1 and Greek NT only resource as #2... but in your case you are wanting the Greek to show up in the OT for the LXX. That would require "advanced prioritization."

It is possible that I am wrong and that FL did add this to mobile... but it would be managed on Desktop. I don't think I am wrong, however. Are you familiar with "advanced priorirization?"

This issue is nicely handled by setting your Hebrew and Greek texts in a series. You can even prioritize this series if that is your intent. Series is found in the Information panel. Give the series an identical distinctive name for each resource in the series.

Your Beta issue is thornier. I have no solution other than making your LXX the highest prioritized resource.

Beloved: For clarification, is your suggestion for desktop only or does this work for mobile (which is the forum we are in)?

Oh! AFAIK it is desktop only. Thank you for reorienting me.

I have tinkered with having the Lexham English LXX as my second favorite in priority, and then I have the esv as the top priority but limited to Matthew-Rev. Then if I hover over an Old Testament or deuterocanonical (is that the right word) text I get the LES2 but if I hover over a New Testament text I get the ESV. and since the esv is number one instead of two, I don’t get the occasional 'error' of a blank page when the LES2 can’t open a New Testament passage since there's nothing there.

The fact that there is no simple implementation for this issue as many use iPads and other mobile devices is eating at my craw. An easy fix for this problem is to implement "send hyperlinks here" for resources in split screen view on mobile devices.

Jeremiah, would this be adequate for your issue Beta?

I have added a FeedBear request for this functionality:

Beloved's suggestion does work for Android devices but not for iOS.

FL, please update iOS to be compatible with this functionality on par with Android. Thanks!
