Daniel Saunders Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Just noticed in the latest update (12.2.1) that the instant details doesn't always give the gloss in Greek texts (haven't tested Hebrew). For example - forms of ειμι don't display a gloss (actually I first noticed this with a bunch of words in Matthew 2:6). I think the bug is linked to the instant details database, as the problem shows up regardless of which Greek text I used (UBS5, UBS4, TR). And the bug shows up both in the instant details display window, and if I copy the instant details from the word (using the contextual menu).

Helen Brown Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I confirm, and am sure this will get fixed soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Saunders Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Thanks Helen. Can confirm the bug exists for Hebrew texts too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgvh Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I can confirm that this is also a problem in Windows Acc 12.2.1 Both Greek and Hebrew, some glosses appear, others do not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I didn't have noticed about this topic, so I started a new one. This https://www.accordancebible.com/forums/topic/22716-instant-details-in-122-miss-the-most-glosses-on-hebrew-texts/describes the same bug.

William Cross Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Yes this is a signifcant bug as the Instant Details Word Glosses are a major helpful feature. Look forward to a fix. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) I have found that Instant details is not looking up all the links in the Life Application Study Bible. For example, I did a search in Research, and hovering over some of the results from the LASB reveals the verse in ID, but not others (specifically from the Master Index of the LASB). Opening the LASB into its own tab reveals the links from the Master Index (so it isn't that they aren't tagged) and they show up fine in ID. So it seems to me to be an issue with the Reseach results not identifying that they have a link that should be shown in ID.

Silas Marrs Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 These particular links do not bring up instant details from the research window because they are not scripture links, but are links to within the "Life Application Study Bible". Links to within a module can only populate instant details from inside that module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, a Bible reference should link to a reference in a Bible. Thanks for the heads-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 If you look at that section within the tool, it is a topical index referencing those sections of the tool. I think having them be simple scripture references would be making the tool less useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having them be simple scripture references would be making the tool less useful. Hmm, this is strange. Yes I see that the link itself is not to the actual scripture but is an internal link to another part of the same tool. But putting the mouse over those links (Scripture references) reveals the linked verses in Instant Details. 1) When the tool is open in its own window, and I mouseover a reference (linked to a non-scripture part of a tool), I can see the actual Scripture in Instant Details. 2) But if that tool is revealed as the result of a Research search result, the mouseover doesn't work? Sorry but it just seems to me to be a failure of the Research results. How can it work one way but not another?

Silas Marrs Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Using the example you posted above: "God never changes Ps 59:10" The "Ps 59:10" is not a link to Psalm 59:10 in the Bible, but is a link to Paragraph 6603 within the "Life Application Study Bible" tool. Essentially, the link is telling Accordance that it is a link to "the paragraph that is 16,906 paragraphs before the paragraph this link is in." So, as long as you are in the "Life Application Study Bible" instant details will know where to go to get the information, and clicking the link will know where to take you. But when you are in the research window, "16,906 paragraphs before this paragraph" no longer has any clear meaning, so clicking one might do nothing, or it might cause a crash, so we purposely remove links of that type from research windows. Now, it wouldn't be impossible for us to add a feature that would change the link in the research tab so that it is still useable, and we may even do so at some point in the future. User feedback is one of the best ways to decide what features are worth taking the time to add. But the point that we were making is that this is not a bug, because it is currently working as it was designed to work. I hope this answers your questions, Alistair! I really appreciate you taking the time to help us improve Accordance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Alistair, when I mouse over the links in the Master Index, when the tool is its own tab, both Instant Details and clicking accomplish the same thing - show me the section of the tool they are referring to. For instance, from the section "God never changes Ps 59:10", the instant details provides: [Life App Study Bible] 59:10 David was hunted by those whose love had turned to jealousy, and this was driving them to try to murder him. Trusted friends and even his mentor, the king, had turned against him. What changeable love! But David knew that God’s love for him was changeless. “His unfailing love continues forever” (100:5). God’s mercy to all who trust him is just as permanent as his mercy to David. When the love of others fails or disappoints us, we can rest in God’s unfailing love. This is of course different from the actual Psalm: Psa. 59:10 My faithful God will come to meet me; God will let me look down on my adversaries. Is this not what you are experiencing?

Alistair Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 …we purposely remove links of that type from research windows… Now it makes sense. That is exactly the point I was trying to make. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
