    I'd rather it show such a commentary.

    I agree, but for it to be useful, it needs to take me to the nearest verse. Currently it just dumps me at the title page.

    That said, in an ideal world, I'd like it to be accurate and fast. I hope this development is a step towards that, not a 'this will do instead'.

    Look at The New Manners and Customs of the Bible. In Romans it has articles for:-

    • 7:24
    • 8:15
    • 16:16

    The result from Parallel Resources for verses in Ro 1-6 incl. will be the front page, but the result for chapters is 7:24.

    • Verses in ch 7 go to 7:24.
    • Ro 7:25 will go to Ro 7:24.
    • Verses in ch 8 go to 8:15.
    • Chapters 9-15 go to 8:15
    • Verses in ch 9-15 go to the front page
    • etc.

    PG works similarly, but does not list the commentary when Parallel Resources will dump you at the front page. Therefore Parallel Resources is just as accurate as PG!

    I also want to say thank you to Logos for the speed improvement on parallel resources. I'm now using this feature. Great job!

    Open DBL Greek and set the reference to G4033:-

    OK, I see the problem here, but I'm pretty sure this is exactly how 4.1 behaved. (The optimisation only changed how the "All Parallel Resources" list was created, it didn't change how the list for a custom collection is created, what happens when you jump to a parallel resource, etc.) I'll file bugs on the issues you've raised.

    This is exactly the same behaviour as 4.1 for resources in a custom collection; in 4.2 Beta 3, that behaviour is now exposed from the "All parallel resources" menu. So this has been a longstanding bug; on the bright side, if we fix it, it fixes both custom collections and "All parallel resources".

    Strange we didn't spot it before. I guess that's because almost all of our commentaries do comment on every passage at some level or other.

    Yes. I'd reported this behaviour some time ago, but hopefully we are now moving toward similar results for custom collections.

    It used to crash for custom collections and now we get the front page for custom + All Parallel! The additional issue for custom collections is inconsistently displaying a resource when it has no index for the required data type (my reply to Bradley).

    I guess that's because almost all of our commentaries do comment on every passage at some level or other.

    The algorithm for matching passages gives a very good chance of getting a hit in a half-way decent commentary (unlike New Manners and Customs of the Bible!).

    Thank you. 4.2 Beta 7 has stabilised the tracking of data type in resources with multiple indexes {Active reference data type is reserved when switching parallel resources}.
