8.02 Crashing

[SteveL]

Hello,

 

I've running the latest rev of Accordance and of OSX.

 

If I search on Words and enter [Range "Old Testament"] (where Old Testament is a defined range of the OT, Accordance will consistently crash. If I enter: * <AND> [Range "Old Testament"] Accordance will crash.

 

If, however, I perform the same using More Options, no problem. Works as advertised. This same behavior is noted irrespective of the text.

 

Thanks for listening,

[Helen Brown]

To use the name of the range you must enter it (or part of it) in quotes: [RANGE "old t"]. Otherwise it gives an error that the book Old cannot be found. I cannot reproduce your crash. Please send me a screenshot so that I can see exactly what you are doing.

Hi Steve,

 

If I search on Words and enter [Range "Old Testament"] (where Old Testament is a defined range of the OT, Accordance will consistently crash. If I enter: * <AND> [Range "Old Testament"] Accordance will crash.

 

We were able to reproduce this bug.

 

I think the definition of the "Old Testament" range you are using is

 

gen-mal;gen-2chr

 

Accordance will "hang"(requiring a force quit) when using a custom Range with overlapping verse groups like "Old Testament" above. The "hang" only occurs when searching using custom ranges in quotes (not with the More Options popup).

 

 

The workaround:

 

To search using custom ranges in quotes in 8.0.2, I recommend you create non-overlapping verse groups and/or make a range for Old Testament (gen-mal) and a separate range for Hebrew Bible (gen-2chr).

 

Sorry for the inconvenience,

 

Mike
