Not happy with "Prioritise Resources" as Keylink Replacement

    Agreed an alternate view is required to review settings by datatype.  One long list is not good at all for keeping track of settings and troubleshooting when a link is not behaving the way you expected it to do so.

    Yes the single long list is not conducive to quick edits, and for spotting quickly by eye the resources pertaining to a given data type. And without any explicit mention of which data type a prioritised resource is connected with, it's even less obvious what's going on!

    PLUS, we need to be able to right click on a word, and have the top 8 or so prioritized resouces on the right-click menu for that particular data type.  This was a very powerful feature of v3 that needs to be retained in v4.


    This can be done in 4.0.....

    Actually Andrew it's not quite the same as in v.3.  

    3.0 lists all the resources whether the particular datum is explicitly found in the text or not.

    4.0 searches the resources and only shows those which have an exact match. This is problematic for commentaries and bible references. It appears the reference must match exactly or no go....

    Preferences:

    Keylink for a range:

    Keylink single verse:

    I would like the previous functionality of sending bible references to a list of preferred resources....

    Although we can use the advanced link to prioritize according to data type, it is very impracticle to use when you want to modify things.  You have no way of looking at the prioritized list for a given data type, other than looking that the properties associated with each resouces. SUGGESTION:  It would be nice to have the OPTION of separating the list by data type, so we could see at a glance how each data type is prioritized.
