O<\/span>ne of the biggest complaints from long-time users of Olive Tree’s<\/a>\u00a0software update, Project Glacier, comes from not being able to find that ever-so-handy verse chooser<\/strong>! May I be very quick to assure you … IT IS THERE!<\/span> However, after upgrading, it’s not easy to find. By default, a “List Viewing Mode<\/em>” is used behind the curtains of the Go To<\/strong> button.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company decided to implement this List View, initially, (this may change at some point in the future) as the default mode for two reasons: First, it’s more user-friendly for those that might be new to the Bible – users that might not be familiar with book abbreviations and book order. Secondly, since seasoned users will see this mode at least once, they will know it’s available – and they need to know it’s available. Why? The “List Viewing Mode” has it’s place – it’s necessary for navigating a plethora of non-verse-driven materials. Even some Bibles will contain wonderful study material that’s not verse-driven – one example is the ESV Study Bible. The “List Viewing” mode is necessary in accessing these articles, or any Table of Contents associated with eBooks.<\/p>\n

Now, I could describe how to access that classic, faithful, one-two-three, verse chooser – but, why read instructions when you can watch a video? Olive Tree is doing an excellent job in building a repository of tutorial videos. These can be found on their YouTube Channel<\/a>. Or, better yet, you may opt to view the videos straight from the software itself. Just tap the suitcase icon at the top to enter your “My Stuff”<\/strong> items. From there, the first thing listed is the Learning Center.<\/strong> If you continue drilling down in the Learning Center<\/strong>, you’ll run into this same video. These videos are a great way of understanding how to use the software.<\/p>\n

Even the most seasoned user of this fantastic software may learn something new from watching the entire video. The video starts with simple scenarios and gradually extends to more complex scenarios. Here’s a list of some of the topics covered:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Working in the default List View<\/strong> Mode<\/li>\n
  • Working in the Grid View Mode (aka Verse Chooser<\/strong>)<\/li>\n
  • Using the Go To Verse<\/strong> text field<\/li>\n
  • Accessing the Table of Contents of Non-Verse-Driven eBooks<\/li>\n
  • Working with Verse-Driven Bibles that have Non-Verse-Driven Articles<\/li>\n
  • Working with Bible Dictionaries in TOC Mode<\/li>\n
  • Working with Bible Dictionaries in Word Look Up<\/strong> Mode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    One final point the video did not mention, – the interface will “remember” its last used configuration state. Therefore, the verse chooser, can become the “default” configuration for most users. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
