I requested this a while ago, and it works really well, and is incredibly useful.
It would be even better if I could just straight to the Visual filter from the Passage List document.
I, too like this new feature. As to the suggestion, I guess that would help if you have the passage list open. I haven't used it enough to know if I'd use it more frequently with open passage lists or with ones I haven't opened. I don't see it worth a lot of coding if that's what it would take as using the visual filter menu on the Bible tab isn't too onerous. Just my two cents.
I love it too. Inline search (and the ability to extract the unwanted bible text while leaving all the other benefits of the reverse interlinear and tagging) has opened the door for some great functionality to come about. I personally don't like reading off of bright white screens so I always have all books set to sepia color. Now passage lists are not only fully tagged with all the data, but they can be sepia too :-)
I wish we could change all background color and not just books, but regardless, this software is consistently exceeding my expectations, and partly, because of many excellent ideas from users.
So thank you faithlife and thank you users, and thank you faithlife for taking user suggestions into consideration
Where do you find out how it works?
John, Mark's screenshot illustrates how it works: (1) open a passage list (2) click on the Bible version header to open that Bible with this passage list applied as a filter.
Since this is posted to the beta forum, I presume that this is a feature in the latest beta. It does not work in 6.5.
Mark's screenshot illustrates how it works: (1) open a passage list (2) click on the Bible version header to open that Bible with this passage list applied as a filter.
Actually, that is what Mark is REQUESTING that it would work like. As of now, you have to open a Bible then turn on the passage list filter and decide which list to display, like this...
Notice the Bible now only shows the passages in the specified passage list that has been checked. And then to remove the filter you press the "Remove Filter" button at top right.
It's a good idea. I'm adding it to the list of things to consider/do for when we next turn our focus to improving Passage Lists.
