Just curious
How have you prioritised ?
Priority of Bible Dictionaries / encyclopaedia
Thanks
P A
I'm not saying it is the best but this is my current order. After this thread I may want to change it. [;)]
Any more thoughts on this?
Here is my current prioritization. It is definitely not the best, not even for me, and as Bruce has stated, mine may change also. [:)]
Can anyone do better than this?
P A, Bruce & Erwin need your help!
P A [:D]
mine are pretty casually thrown together:
a number of non-dictionaries with glossaries indexed by English headword pop up ahead of these on some topics.
Bruce and Erwin both show "heading" entries and I don't. They both list one English language dictionary whilst I have two, but I can't beat 19 entries, so I'm not going to show my list[:)] But I've got 3 x ISBE versions (note that only ISBE Ages 1915 and ISBE Revised will appear as topics in the Topic Guide).
What is significant is that the language dictionaries are a fallback for "non-biblical" words.
Thank you MJ

Hi Dave; Please enlighten us with your prioritization order. [:)]
Ok Dave, I'm curious. What is the 3rd version of ISBE that you have? I thought there were only 2.
Hi Dave; Please enlighten us with your prioritization order.
Go on Dave enlighten us[:)]
Mine is very similar to Bruce's, although I have fewer prioritised.
Mine currently looks like this:

You are encouraging others to submit their lists but where is your submission PA?
Bruce and Erwin both show "heading" entries ....
Please advise how to do those "heading" entries. Otherwise point to some tutorial or video on how its being done. Thank you.
Please advise how to do those "heading" entries.
Please see https://community.logos.com/forums/p/119699/785905.aspx for a description of how to do this
Graham, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. [Y][:)]

Perhaps Dave is referring to these. . .

Thanks Daniel; The second one on the list, by Ages Software, must go way way back.
Short answer Bruce
I don't know how to copy the list into this thread.
Is there a video or something that shows how to do it?
Short answer Bruce I don't know how to copy the list into this thread. Is there a video or something that shows how to do it?
Well that makes sense. It is really easy to do and there are many ways to do it. I used Bradley's recommendation in this thread which I recommend reading - https://community.logos.com/forums/p/87737/615748.aspx
He uses a program called Bug Shooting which is available free for personal use - http://www.bugshooting.com/
There are also screen capture program build into most systems. I have one on my keyboard which says "Print Screen".
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Hope to see your first screen shot post in the near future. By the way, when you go to post be sure to use the paper clip icon in the menu bar at the top.
I should also add that there is a Logos wiki page about this as well - https://wiki.logos.com/screenshot
I like Snagit. It is excellent for screen capture and you don't have to push a lot of keys to do the basic capture. It has a lot of features, but I use it just for the basic screen capture.

What is the 3rd version of ISBE that you have? I thought there were only 2.
ISBE 1915 (Ages Software), ISBE 1915 (Logos edition) and ISBE Revised
The older Ages edition is in Libronix format, whilst the others are in Logos4 format.
Here is my list:
It seems to work for me at the moment: but its probably due for a re-prioritization again as their are some better encyclopedias I purchased since I set this list up (100 encyclopedias and dictionaries in my library).

PA, well done. What screen capture program did you finally end up using?
Bruce
Long answer
I did the old fashioned way (typed it in). I can take screen shots, especially as I rediscovered that using FN key on a laptop helps.
There seems to be a conflict. When I hit the paste icon above, it says currently unsupported by your browser use keyboard shortcuts instead.

Before you ask Edge 13
It might also be something to do with my security settings.
Oh well. That's okay but I do think it is worth trying to figure out a way to do it if you can.

Long time ago, the best I did was to do screen capture and paste to Word. Then further down the road, used Paint, Snipping Tool and most recently (found out on this thread) Bug Shooting. The real excitement I get out of all these is the joy of learning something new. Even the ordeal of paste/attaching it with the paper clip icon for Logos forum is a challenge. Hope can still remember how to do it, but am sure will be able to accomplish it when called to task. So, let's push on.

So this thread would be a good way to reinforce that learning. Why not paste your prioritization here?

Thanks for starting this thread. Reading through it prompted me to organize my priorities and add lots of resources that I had previously neglected. I'd post my list, but doubt it would edify anyone.
Hi John;
Post it anyway. I'm interested. [:)]
Bruce I have done it!
Alan mentioned the paperclip and realised I was clicking on the wrong Icon. Thanks Alan!
P A[:)]
Congratulations P A! [<:o)] Now that you know how to use it you will probably use it more often.
Yes no stopping me now!

I'm not saying it is the best but this is my current order. After this thread I may want to change it.
How is it that you can categorize your prioritizations? At the top you have a ">>" or did you just type that in?
From earlier in the thread. It works!

Edwin I'm not sure this will show up. Here goes. . .
It worked; thanks for posting. [:)]
Everyone has their idea of how to prioritize. My notion goes like this:
LBD - Has a lot of stuff in ways that I like. Lots of info available at the top of the list
TBD/EBD - I put these and a few more just below LBD because I want quick access to simple, brief information near the top of my list.
DDD -needs to be not too far down the list because it is specialized and you don't want to miss it for some things.
ISBE/ABD - and other favorite heavyweights need to be not too far down the list, because sometimes I want those, but not usually first.
Other less-used BD's extend far below because I want access, but don't mind so much scrolling awhile to get there.
I am glad to see the lists, and would like to learn more why you prioritize the way you do.
