After years of telling us that BW will not sell anything but biblical texts since they were sure they would go out of business some day, BW finally went out of business. So they had a vision and they...

Gentlemen:

Accountability is the issue for me. But I'm a Presbyterian who thinks all men should submit their publications to their Sessions (board of elders), before submitting the final...

Christian para-ministries can be terribly frustrating. So many go out of business because their boards of directors are all friends of the ministry and ministry oriented. Letting BW go under isn't...

My recollection is that we were actually advised to do that in the early days of new updates. I'm now moving over to Logos, but I've had old versions on ESV, NASB, NIV, etc for years.

And you've tried BW's default solution?

"delete the bw1000.ini file in BW directory"

Seems to fix just about every issue I've had in the past.

Only irritation is that I've got to go reset...

For what it's worth. It crashed on me when attempting to search under these conditions:


Started with WCS as context
Command line switched to the ESV
Attempted '.submi*' search
Crash
...

All's well with my install. My guess is BW will ask you to remove the bw1000.ini file from the BibleWorks folder and restart. It kills off any custom settings you have, but the good news is your...

Unless you really need to have multiple users set up on a single install (pretty narrow use case), it's not worth using a VM. The rest of the 'bugs' (more like, unsupported functionality) are almost...

James: I will never understand this one. BW management doesn't seem that into Apple development. Apple (MacOS and iOS) is seen as a fad and therefore neglected. It would not surprise me however, if...

Getting closer to the release of mac OS 10.13, High Sierra. Let us know if/when BW10 run as expected. Still won't upgrade my Mac till BW is known to be stable.

Crossnote: If recent history is any indication, we're still at the early stage. I'd spend your wad now on a few good books and then start putting aside $0.50 a day for BW11. You should be fine. :)

Thanks for keeping your Mac friends happy! Every little bit counts.

It would be nice to get the footnotes, etc. in the Louw-Nida Lexicon. For instance, under the first heading, 1.B. Regions Above the Earth, we find this footnote:

1579

It would be nice to have...

Okay, so you would be miles ahead if you could pull this off. Figure out a way to search my Kindle library and I'll never open Logos again. Just sayin'.

Depending on how you have Parallels set up, but can copy can paste from just about any application on the Parallels side to the MacOS side. BibleWorks has not been an exception in the past. However,...

I totally agree with this sentiment. There are no shortcuts to getting a good grasp of the text. However, the update I'd like to see in BW11 is mostly in allowing a new line of return character to be...

I've asked for this functionality in BW11. As of yet, BW has not seen enough demand. For my part, I've done a search and replace of all conjunctions to make them all bold. Then, when I copy the text...

Dynamic Fonts: Just as we can apply colors and formatting to works, I would like the ability to update key words with unique fonts. I would love for this to be in the current 'Apply Colors to...

So I was a bit vague by simply saying macOS 10. I meant Sierra. I guess I was assuming my use of 'macOS' was the primary indicator that I was thinking of the new platform. Regardless, I'm glad to see...

Has anyone loaded macOS 10 yet? Are there any issues? I would like to know when it's safe to upgrade from a BibleWorks 10 perspective, since that's the most important piece of software on my Mac.

Agreed! I would also like to find a link to the latest build. Upon opening BW today, I didn't have time to install the latest build, so I clicked 'No'. Now that I have time, I can't get the same...

Excellent. That's really good to know.

As to my other question, I'm also a bit scared to try to apply my .clr files to the new install of ESV. Since I have no idea how these files are created,...

I've just updated to the latest 'Permanent' ESV on my Mac. However, in doing this, I've lost my .clr files that were associated with the ESV. Back when I ran BW on Parallels, I'd know how to reapply...

Thanks for the note. It's not really a problem, I just needed to know what I needed to do, and to make sure I wasn't going to break it on my profile if I loaded it again on hers.

Hey All,

My wife uses my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.11.6) with a separate user profile. I can't get BibleWorks 10.0.5.286 (MCW 10-30) to run on her profile. Everything runs great on mine.

Is there a...
