Passage in parallel versions
I am sure this is an easy question, but I am having great difficulties. I am trying to view a verse in many different versions at once. I am trying to use 'text comparison.' I have created a collection of all my bibles, but when I click on it from the drop down list, nothing shows. If i enter bibles manually, only 3 will show up at at time, and the titles I enter do not seem to have any effect on what bible shows up (ie: if i type NIV in the top of my text comparison box, i get the BHS instead).
Anybody know an easy way to do this?

Hi Jeff,
I am not having any issues, however I am running the latest beta. If you type the name of the collection in the entry box and then hit enter does that work?

nothing shows up when i type in the name of the collection. i am running version 4.0b SR-1 (4.10.4.8093), i think this i the latest, when I type update, it tells me 'no updates found'

Text comparison can show 4 Bibles (or more) - took me several attempts to enter/update comma separated list of abbreviated Bible names (couple times had surprise change: e.g. ESV became AV 1873). Another parallel option is opening Bibles in Tabs and using Link Set for scrolling together:
Text Comparison can highight differences.

i thought i remembered in the windows version there was a way to view all passages, maybe i am just remembering wrong. I don't need it to highlight the differences for me, i can spot those. I am trying to do some work on Hab 3:6-7 and want to see the way different translations take the first line of 7. Maybe its just easier to look them all up individually this time, but would be nice in the future to be able to do it a little quicker.

Windows version is easier to choose bibles for Text Comparison - took 3 attempts on Mac to change LEB to NET (LEB not have Habakkuk) - then typed passage and choose from list:
