Copy Multiple Bible Verse Selections

In Libronix Copy Bible Verses allowed for multiple verses from various texts to be copied and pasted. This does not seem to be the case in Logos4 -- For instance in attempting to copy and paste 1 Cor. 13:1-3 and 8-13 I had to copy verses 1-3 and then copy verses 8-13 in separate sessions of the CBV in Logos4. What am I missing.

Also, why do I need to click on the reference for the verses I type into the CBV window? If I want to copy 1 Cor 13:1-3, I must enter the text in the CBV window, then click on the verses that appear in a highlighted window or it will move back to whatever the active bible window is set at. Not very helpful at all.

I just did this by typing 1Cor 13:1–3, 8–13 in the CBV command bar. I hit enter and I'm good to go.

To change this behavior: in the CBV open the panel on the left and at the link set choose "None" (the default is "Follow" which does what you're describing). Logos assumes that if you're at a certain place in your Bible and want to copy a text, it's probably the text you're looking at.

The "Follow" was my problem (Just gotta love these undocumented features) and the reason it wouldn't accept multiple verse sets -- turned it to "none" and it does it easily now!

Thanks for the quick help.

The Wiki page helped me customize my CBV formatting -- thanks for providing this!

For the Wiki page you may want to add CTRL+ALT+B opens the Copy Bible Verse dialogue in your Windows application.

Thanks for doing this, Steve.

BTW, typing semi-colons between non-contiguous passages also works. This is the convention for doing so, when introducing a new book or chapter, as in Acts 2:42; 6:4; 1Tim 4:16. You may want to include that in the Wiki as well (I don't really have time to edit there right now).
