Copy Bible Verses - use current Bible version

An idea to make Copy Bible Verses more intuitive and intelligent:

 

Typically, when I'm comparing translations and find the one which has the nuance I'm looking for, THAT'S the version I want to copy. It would make sense, then, for the Copy Bible Verse to use the Bible version which I was looking at when the command is selected, rather than the default Bible version.

Or at the very least, offer this as an option which users can turn on or off.

    I agree. This would be nice.

    Actually, the CBV uses the last Bible version used in the CBV dialog (not the default Bible).

    Actually, the CBV uses whatever version you prefer if you simply take the trouble to change it -- one click.  I frequently switch between the NA27, AFAT (I don't send BHS 4.2 over the internet due to problems in reproducing the cantillation on some computers), and the NRSV (I use this for those who don't know the original languages).

    What Bruce was referring to was that the CBV retains a Bible version, rather than opening with the current Bible as the source from which to copy. He knows he can change it. He wanted the behavior to be different.

    He stated that the CBV defaults to the preferred Bible. My point was that the CBV defaults to the Bible selected the last time the CBV was used.
