Darin Franklin Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I am comparing two texts which have sparse differences, and I need a way to navigate between the differences. For example: Open HMT-W4 in a search tab. Open BHS-W4 in parallel. Turn on Compare. In Compare Text settings, I have Compare: Words Type: Single Text Ignore: everything Display > List Text Differences Now I have a list of all the verses which have differences, but how do I navigate to each one? I want a way to open the list of verses into a search tab so that I can navigate them as search result hits. For now, here is my workaround. Focus on the Text Differences pane. File > Save as Text File > Plain Text… Open the text file in a text editor, extract all the verses, and join them with semicolons. Paste the list of verses into the Accordance search tab. Now I can navigate through the hits. To make this easier, the Text Differences list should have a link at the top which opens the list of verses in the search tab. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Now I have a list of all the verses which have differences, but how do I navigate to each one? +1 for a solution for this Now I can navigate through the hits. To make this easier, the Text Differences list should have a link at the top which opens the list of verses in the search tab. I requested a few times, we should be able to click on the reference and it jumps to there in the Bible. https://www.accordancebible.com/forums/topic/18361-compare-list-tab-tie/?p=110674 I also requested to "Tie" the list of text differences with the Bibles. https://www.accordancebible.com/forums/topic/18361-compare-list-tab-tie/?hl=links Fabian Edited July 21, 2020 by Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darin Franklin Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 I created Automator workflows to provide navigation for text differences. This is for Mac only. TextDifferences-1.0.0.zip Double-click the workflow files to install them. They will appear in the Accordance > Services menu. Open Text Differences as Search This service opens a Text Differences tab, saves it, reads it, and then opens the Search tab with the list of verses. 1. In Accordance, open two texts in parallel, enable Compare, and turn on "Recycle Contents". 2. Accordance > Services > Open Text Differences as Search Open Text Differences as Web Page Do the same steps as above, but choose Accordance > Services > Open Text Differences as Web Page. It creates an HTML file and opens it in the default web browser. To view this file in Accordance, you have to copy and paste the URL into the Accordance web browser tab (File > New Tab > Web Browser). There is currently no way for the script to open it directly in Accordance, but I will add that feature if Accordance ever gets a keyboard shortcut to select the URL bar (Cmd-L, perhaps). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darin Franklin Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 Thanks, Joel. I updated the Open Text Differences as Web Page workflow to use the Accordance web browser. Download version 1.0.2 and try it out. Dustin, let me know if you still have problems with the new version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricC Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi, Darin, I get these errors on 13.1.4 when I try to run the workflows (all three give one or the other of these): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darin Franklin Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 I get these errors on 13.1.4 when I try to run the workflows (all three give one or the other of these): I think that you need to grant some permissions.

Check the box for SystemUIServer.app. Thanks, Darin, You were right. Except I had to just check the box for Accordance.app. I didn't have anything in there like SystemUIServer.app. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
