Update! Accordance 14.0.3 for macOS and Windows


Mike Garrity

Recommended Posts

 

Accordance for macOS and Windows has been updated to v14.0.3 with important changes and bug fixes. Update your install by selecting "Check for App Update" in the Accordance menu (Mac) or Utilities menu (Win). 

 

Version 14.0.3

Improvements for the Discourse Phrasing feature

  • Where the wrong word would be highlighted on mouseover.
  • Phrasing Breaks would fail when following a Phrasing Indent
  • Search highlighting was misaligned on Phrased RTL Texts.

Improvements for the Live Click feature

  • New Word Study option which follows the Live Click Types to generate proper Word Studies.
  • LiveClick and Research would render the Entry text as RTL after amplify or workspace recall.

Word Study Fixes

  • Improved the word definition search in the default Dictionary by restricting search results to "Main" articles based on the Word Study type and default Dictionary. For example, English definitions were found in a sub article title instead of using an entry in Websters.
  • Several NIV G/K vs Strong's coding issues with Word Definition, Text Comparisons/Graphs, and Key Number Dictionary Lookups.
  • Added some optimizations for Searching speed.
  • Incorrect Text translation for certain words.

Bibliography Format Fixes

  • SBL & Turabian fixed some issues introduced recently and improved a few types.
  • APA, Chicago, and MLA were updated to support a wider range of Tool types.
  • Number of volumes info was missing for a few types.
  • Chicago Edited types (e.g. ACCS) were showing title codes instead of the actual title.

Miscellaneous Fixes

  • The Search highlighting color in the Tool display dialog couldn't be set.
  • Issue that would cause Language > Diagram items to display the wrong font color.
  • Crash when selecting certain Atlas sites.
  • Crash that could occur when checking for updates.
  • Crash that could occur when a parallel document is at the front.

Mac Specific fixes

  • Issue that was preventing dropbox from connecting.
  • Where toolbar buttons would default to light mode colors when toggled off.

Windows Specific fix

  • Crash when detaching a Word Study tab.

@Mike Garrity While I appreciate the fact that an update has been provided, it still seems that some of the basic features should have been fixed by now.  When I try to change the text color to white in Dark Mode, it changes in the preview box and even in the text I have open.  Its when I exit the program and then reopen the program the color goes back to a light greyish color.  When I go back in to the text display under preference, the preview box appropriately shows the text as white (which is what I want for more clarity and readability.) but my text is unchanged.  Also,  when I open a text and want to change from paragraph to paragraph with space, it doesn't make the change whatsoever.  In fact no changes to the text seem to work doing it that way.  Lastly, I was hoping the icon bar in dark mode would have been fixed with this update.  It's really challenging form a visual perspective (at least in my case) to see with clarity the icons.  It is night and day in my opinion between the mac version and the windows version.

 

Please don't get me wrong.  I love Accordance. I think its an amazing product.  I am very confident that these small, yet very important descrepancies, will be addressed sooner or later by the hard working folks at Accordance.  I just wanted to voice my concerns while I had a moment to do so.

Text and Tool Display Preferences for 14.0.3 are just as non-functioning as from the initial release of 14.  They simply do not respect the user choice; and, in certain cases it seems as if one preference is controlling an entirely different preference.

I have upgraded to 14.0.3 but dropbox is still not functioning for me.  It starts and says "comparing" and then Accordance locks up and the beach ball starts spinning.

I'm sorry you're experiencing that. It must be extremely frustrating. I'm not seeing that problem on the Windows version.

very, very glad to see word study back on life click. This is a positive change.

I owe Accord an apology. When I commented, I had no problems, but I now found the same problem in Windows.  My primary tab opens with the correct font, but any subsequent tabs open with a generic font. When I try to change it in Set Text Pane Display , it always reverts back to the blank font choice. I just checked in my primary tab and it changed the font once from my usual font to a generic font and it won't change it back. I did try Updating Fonts under Utilities (and restarted my computer) but I'm having the same issue. So, again, apologies to Accord.

Acc 14.0.3 Win 11

I am not having any issues w/ this.

If you change font, colors, etc., but do not hit "Use as Default," opening a new tab will revert to the default display parameters that are indicated in Edit > Preferences > Text Display.

I tried it on both Win 10 & 11 and it does not hold on either one in dark mode. I tried it by changing from preferences as well as the local gear item and setting the text display there. It does seem to work in light mode though.

When I launch Check For App Updates (not Check For Content Updates) it launches what looks like the Content Update search which hangs up with the green bar halfway. I have to go to the Windows Task Manager and force it to close. So I am unable to update at this point. Any ideas?

 

edited to add the following fictitious dialogue:

 

Max: Don't tell me I have to roll back to version 13!

 

The Chief: Max, you have to roll back to version 13.

 

Max: Chief, I asked you not to tell me that.

Starting Accordance in Safe Mode, then trying to update the app has worked for a number of us.

Am I the only one who is getting off-colour pictures of scantily-clad young women when I click on the 'update to 14.0.3' link? They only appeared once, and all seems to be well now. Has Accordance been hacked?

There was a thread about this in the beta forums, although I still have questions about how and why this is happening.
 

Perhaps @Silas Marrsor @Jordan S or another staff developer can speak to it here. Sorry you had to experience this.

I don’t know if it was the same image or site, but yes. Porn where the release notes should be.

@mgvh

Hmm, when I use the Edit > Preferences > Text Display method of changing text I don't see the "Use as Default" button.  Only when I click the small spoke button in the upper left side of the text.

Is this only happening in Version 14?  I need to pass this info on to some fellow-ministers/friends.  This is the last thing they need popping up on their screen at home or in the office.

There is no need for a Set Default in the Edit > Preferences display. When you hit OK, you are setting the default. (Note the top of the box "Default display for ALL Bible and other texts.) I.e., this is where you set the universal default. If you want something different for one specific text, that's where you go into Set Text Pane Display and choose the Default for that specific text.

@mgvh does it work for you in dark mode as well in Win 11 or just in light mode?

@Sean Nelson posted a note saying that they have suspended downloads for around 24 hours as they migrate servers. Maybe check later today or tomorrow
