bibles not properly combining

[Kristin]

I was not sure if I should respond to the post from last year, or start a new thread. I finally decided to start a new thread since the other was also addressing unrelated issues, but the point is, this issue has been going on for a long time, over a year.

 

My User Bible is split into OT and NT, I thus need to combine them when I upload them.

 

If I upload the OT, it uploads fine. Then the NT, and it uploads fine.

 

Then I go to Genesis and try to combine my work, and it can ONLY find the OT. Then I try to open the NT to combine the OT, and it can ONLY find the NT.

 

It is beyond obnoxious because I have to keep uploading them. EVERY time I upload a user bible I need to upload it 5 to 10 x before it magically decides to show up an option to combine.

 

Thank you for looking into this,

Kristin

Would it be possible to combine them before uploading, i.e. outside of Accordance?

Hi @docdave,

Unfortunately not. The two texts actually started off as one document and for a host or reasons were eventually split. Also, Accordance can combine texts, so it seems it should work, as opposed to working 10% of the time.

 

On a related note, if you upload a text, it will auto show the name of the file. Then you confirm the mapping, and then click next, and it asks what you want to call it. Which I always found odd. Do you happen to know why it asks this?

 

It occurred to me though, that if I upload Jan OT and Jan NT, when I upload the files, confirm mapping, then it asks to name them, I could call them Recent OT and Recent NT, then combine the two recents. Then next month when I upload the file Feb OT and Feb NT, confirm mapping, then name them Recent OT and Recent NT, it would update the those files as the combined text, and I wouldn't need to re-combine every month? As I am typing this out, I think this is a bad idea and probably won't work. I am just sort of confused about the whole thing I guess and hope it can be simplified.

Remind me about this on Monday, and I’ll have Tech Support take a look.
