Open all commentaries with one button

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I've a question concerning commentaries. When I'm preparing a sermon I like to verify what I say by reading the different commentaries I have. For that I've build an agencement with 1-3 bibles in a window and all commentaries in another window (in fact in 2 windows one up, other down).

But I'm sometimes buying some extra commentaries that seems interesting and I want aslo to review on them. Then I was wondering if there is a way to open all the commentaries that are linked to a verse/chapter (visible through parallel books) in a predefined space (for example my 2 windows up and down) ?

It would be then easier to read them one after other without forgetting one

Thank you

There isn't, but if you open the Guides menu and search for Commentaries and open that, you can enter the verse range and it will give you a list of all your commentaries that have a section on that verse range and you can work through them that way.

My solution is a single window, a top panel of favored commentaries using a multiview view. And a second panel below of less-favored commentaries, also multiview. Of course, saved in a layout.

Opening the layout opens everyone.

The major advantage is that the multiview leader is the Bibles … the commentaries always follow.

This allows you to quickly switch to another commentary within the same window.

Thank you all for your answers. It means there is nothing acting like that.

I'm already using the same methods as you (@Francis : it is what I'm using when I say "visible through parallel books", @DMB : also doing that with my "2 windows one up, other down"). But it was working well until I had only a few commentaries (for the parallel books) or when commentaries were part of series (with windows on top and down).

As I have more commentaries today, I'm no more able not to forget some with the parallel books and as they are no more only part of series, I was looking for something that was opening all parallel books with a simple button. But is doesn't exist. Then I will continue to work with current methods.

Thanks to all
