Translation Priority within a Translation

Just a tidbit for what it's worth. If you regularly use more than one English translation of the Bible, you can go to your library and set advanced prioritization for a certain translation and where it says apply only to under from this resource set it to the same translation. So for example with prioritize selected in your library and under ESV, where it would at first read from this resource, it now reads ESV. What this does is that if you are in a different translation than your prioritized version and you hover over a Bible reference it will be in that same translation. If you click on that hyperlink it will open that Bible reference in that same translation rather than your preferred translation. Without doing this advanced priority setting if you click on that reference and your preferred translation isn't even open, it will open it. If this isn't clear I (or someone else) will post screen shots.

Thank you for posting that.

Oh, I have from time to time posted things before completely testing them. Thanks for the correction.

In order to get this to work as advertised, you'll need to add two entries for each Bible into your prioritisation list. The entries with advanced prioritisation set must be above the ordinary entries. <edit>Rather illogically, entries can be anywhere in the list</edit>. To save time, your most prioritised Bible doesn't need a second entry.

You also need to watch that Logos doesn't delete your first entry when you add your second (it deletes duplicate entries, at least in the latest beta). So set your advanced priorities before adding the second entry.

This is so bizarre.

I haven't yet mastered prioritization nor taken the time to set mine up completely the way I'd want it, but this tip is useful. That has always bugged me about hovering over cross-references in other Bible versions. So thanks!

It's actually quite logical.

Good job Mark. [Y]

The idea of having the same Bible displayed in the pop-ups of that Bible sounds very interesting. I am going to play with it a little bit.

Ah, thanks for that explanation. Now I understand prioritization better! This should be added to the wiki under Prioritizing. Actually the Prioritizing section of the Library page has gotten so long and complex that it should be moved out to its own page. I know Steve has not wanted to split that page up because of bookmarks from elsewhere that link in to it, so I'd suggest leaving the Prioritizing section in the Library page but moving all of its contents to a new page and leaving behind just a link to the new page. Steve, what do you think? Are you reading this? I'd be glad to do the work if you're OK with it.

A little late to the conversation but none the less I wanted to express my thanks for this information. I noticed the problem a while ago but had no idea on how to resolve the Bible link issue. Tried it and it is working perfectly.

However, this caused me to go back into Libronix to check to see if the same issue existed there as well, and it does. When you hover or select a link the default Bible (at the top) will always be used. Was there a work around for this as well? I searched the forum and the wiki page but could not find any reference to this issue.

Once again, Thaaaannnnnnkkkkkkkk Youuuuuuuuuuu so very much for this solution.
