Apostolic Fathers Compare Greek/English in Search Results
When performing a morphological search in a Bible, such as the ESV, if I show the results as Verses (instead of Aligned of Analysis), I get the option to display another resource side by side. This is useful if I search the NA27, I can put the ESV or NASB beside and quickly see the English text of the verse (as my Greek is not so good).
If I perform the same search in the Apostolic Fathers (Holme's edition), I get no such option to allow me to compare another resource side by side, which is very frustrating. I am able to search in Lake's edition and get English results, but I would prefer Holme's as that is more recent. Additionally, when viewing Holme's edition in English, there is no interlinear button such as there is when viewing Lake's.
Is there a way around this to show search results for Apostolic Fathers in both Greek and English? Is that intended functionality with only being able to view the interlinear tab for Lake's edition and not Lightfoot's or Holme's?

I had seen that resource, but it is in prepub and looks like it won't be completed until mid next year.
What I really want it to be able to compare search results in the greek text side by side with english results, as I can with the NA27 and ESV, for example.
For a piece of software that costs many hundreds of dollars, you would think logos could open another resource beside your search results and display content from that using the verse references returned from the original search.

I have (sort of) found two:
1) If you prioritize the English translation above the Greek text when you search in Greek, you can get the translation by hovering above the reference. Though it will cover [part of] the Greek, so it's mainly useful for checking the meaning of words you don't know or remember, not for in depth comparisons.
2) If you save the search results as a Passage List and click Add Version, you do get the option to add the English translation. However, when I try that in Mac, either nothing happens at all, or the text simply switches to English, without even the option to switch back. There seems to be a bug here. I would be interested to know if it works in Windows.
I second your request, though. If we have both Greek and English versions, we should be able to see search results in both, whether it be the Bible, the Apostolic Fathers, Philo, Josephus, or anything else (like the Patrologia, when it is published).

That's an excellent suggestion. It would be very helpful, and shouldn't be all that tricky to implement.

Same behavior in Windows.
It's definitely a bug. I'll go report this in the Windows Beta forum. (EDIT: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/27273.aspx )

Thanks for the pointers. The passage list idea would be a good work around once the add version bug gets fixed.

I have tried this in the latest beta and it does not work. I even put Apostolic Fathers: English Translations as the highest resource in my priorities and I do not get English when I hover. Does this actually work, what am I doing wrong?

Same with Lightfoot (LAFG). If I create a Passage List, though the hover comes up in English (LAFE)!

If I understand correctly what you want to do, the answer is relatively simple. Open Holmes Greek text then open the English and link the two. Do your morph search and the English will follow. Since it's fairly obvious, I must have missed something.

George, I am hoping to see multiple search results in one page at the same time. This method is possible, but requires me to open each verse in Holmes to see the English and Greek texts. It also does not allow me to compare two or more search results together at a glance, as I can do with Bible text.

It certainly worked when I took the sceenshot! Could there be a bug in the beta? (I'm on stable.)

I think you must be mistaken when you say that it worked when you took the screenshot. Dominick was speaking of doing a morph search. When one does a morph search what he gets in the pop-up is the text in the resource being searched regardless of what version of that work might be set as a higher priority. E.g., If I do a morph search of the verb συγχαίρω in the Apostolic Fathers (I picked this because I happened to the Martyrdom of Polycarp where the 1st word is Συνεχάρην), it will always give a text in the Greek of the Apostolic Fathers since I did a Greek morphology search. The same occurs in morphology searches of the bible. If I search for חיה in the BHS with Westminster 4.2 morphology, it will always return the verses from Westminster 4.2 in the pop-up even if I were to have an English language bible as top priority since Hebrew, specifically BHS Westminster 4.2, is what I searched. It's hard-coded into the search results.

And I think you must be mistaken. [:)]
My earlier search was a morph search, and so is the one below. With the English translation prioritized, I get Greek if I hover above the word itself:
But I get English when I hover above the verse reference:
If there isn't a bug, you should get the same.

Was that on the Mac version, though? It does not work in Windows 4.2 SR-1.

Well something is different, it does not work with 4.2a beta 2 either. And note in your screen on the Mac, you have a feature under Morph Search that is not on the PC (see circled "Add Versions"):
Also - see my screen shot of exactly what you tried on the Mac. Note, your pop up text is not AF English Text, it is from your Hermeneia Commentary on Ignatius of Antioch - it's the only place your popup text exists, it is not in AF texts. Check out all the circled parts on my example:

I thought I figured it out but I did not - I tried setting "Send Hyperlinks here" in the Ignatius of Antioch Hermeneia text, but neither the popup or a click on the link went here. Shouldn't they, if "send hyperlinks here" is set and the reference is valid?

Perhaps you do have a bug in your program. As you can see, there is no English.

According to the Wiki (http://wiki.logos.com/Morphological_Search) you have that in Windows as well:
(And in any case, it shouldn't affect this, since I'm not using that button for this.)
Dominick Sela said:your pop up text is not AF English Text, it is from your Hermeneia Commentary
You're quite right! I never checked this time. [:$] However, if you look at my first screenshot in this thread, you'll see that it is AF:ET there. The reason it wasn't this time was because it was from an AF book I happened to have in Hermeneia, and I happened to have Hermeneia prioritized higher. When I move AF:ET up above Hermeneia, I do get AF:ET in the popups for Ignatius as well:

Hmm. So there are really THREE issues. The "Add versions" is definitely not in Morph search for 4.2a beta 2, the Priority List is not being used for the hover, nor is the "Send Hyperlinks here" working if the verse is clicked).
Is everyone in agreement these are bugs in the beta of the PC version? Bradley, have you been following this, are these bugs or are we/I confused?

Seems unlikely, considering that it is perfectly normal behaviour for all searches. If you hover above the word you get the text from the Bible you've searched; if you hover above the reference you get the same text from your prioritized Bible:

Of course, this is not a bible text. If it were, you might have a point since my top priority is BHS 4.2 and my second is NA27 (and we are talking about the fact that Greek appears in my pop-up).. Since this is not a bible text, however, I fail to see that it would have any bearing on the subject. I'm afraid you have a non sequitur.

This is a Windows forum and a lot of confusion has resulted from presenting features on a Mac version!

That's fine if the resources are bibles. My Lightfoot AF resources are not bibles, nor do they have a Bible index! There is some inconsistency, as I pointed out earlier, that a Passage List will show the English version on hover (without being prioritized) whilst the Search Results do not (even when LAFE is prioritized). I'll generate a bug report on this.
