grahameb Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 My accordance install has developed an upsetting problem. I usually configure a session with all of the texts for my next sermon, and then I can close/reopen Accordance and resume work. Unfortunately the texts in each tab are not there when I re-open Accordance. This is with the NRSV module. Oddly, the Psalm (my second tab) does resume, but the others all revert to no text showing in the selector, so Gen 1 is shown. I'm running accordance 13.3.4 and I've tried making a new session from scratch, but that didn't fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Marrs Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Can you possibly post a before and after screenshot to help understand the issue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahameb Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 No worries. Steps to reproduce: Open a new accordance session. Set text Genesis 24.34–38, 24.42–49, 24.58–67 with parallel text Hebrew Bible (Biblia Hebraica) and New Oxford Annotated. Duplicate current tab; set text Psalm 45.10-17 Duplicate current tab; swap Biblia Hebraica for NA28 Greek NT; set text Romans 7.14–25 Duplicate current tab; set text Matthew 11.15–19, 11.25–30 Save the session Close accordance Screenshot just before closing is before.jpg. Open accordance All the tabs have reset to no scripture set, except for the Psalm tab, which remembers its place. (see after.jpg) This has been my workflow for a long time and it only broke recently, in the last few versions. Thanks for any help Grahame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckylou1980 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I have similar issues as well. Let’s just say I’m In Jeremiah and want to go elsewhere, it’ll send me somewhere else. Majority of the to Genesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahameb Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 If it helps, here's the .accord file that fails to reload the scriptures. Running `strings` on it, I can see the verses I've specified are in the file. OT6.accord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahameb Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Hello – any updates on this one? Thanks Grahame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I don't have Accordance 13, so I can't test it in 13. Emailing Tech Support might be able to give you a quicker answer. Before you do that though, what happens if you go to Preferences (or Settings)>General and look at "Startup"? In your case, it sounds like you'll want it set to "Last Session".

grahameb Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Thanks, I've emailed support - I cleared all my preferences and upgraded to Accordance 14 and I've still got the problem, so I hope they can help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lester P. Bagley Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 This seems to also be an ongoing bug with the current beta version of 14. The attached file loads with no text.

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Got your email, and asking you for some additional info just to rule out a few things. Will also post them here: 1. Under Preferences/Settings, General, is your Startup Settings set to Last Session? 2. Under System Preferences or System Settings on your Mac, is “Close Windows When Quitting an Application” unchecked? Also, what specific version number of Accordance and macOS are you on? Thanks for this info @Lester P. Bagley. Between you and Grahame, maybe we can track this down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahameb Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Billy from tech support and I have figured this one out – it's quite a strange issue, it turns out. I had been copying and pasting the verse references for the coming Sunday from a website, epray.com.au. Those verse references were rich text including hyperlinks that I'd highlighted in the web browser, and pasted into the text box in each Accordance tab. This worked fine while Accordance was running, but for some reason broke when Accordance was restarted, or the workspace file was otherwise loaded. Thanks Nathan for your help, and thanks also Billy - the workaround is to simply type in the verse references, rather than copying & pasting them, and then they are remembered and properly restored.

Looking at @grahameb's repro steps above, I see he's also using en dashes in his search string. I reported a similar problem a while back: @Nathan Parker, @Billy32792, @Silas Marrs: The above post contains some analysis as to what the root cause might be. Hopefully that'll help with the fix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Marrs Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 As @Steven S said, it looks like we're there's an issue while reading a non-unicode english text from the workspace file that'll cause problems with anything that's not standard ASCII. I'll fix it for the next release, but you can use normal dashes until then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
