Re: [be] [SPAM] Re: Bibledit for Windows--does it work with Keyman?

[Birch Champeon]

We literally just discovered this bug 20 minutes ago.  We had fixed it awhile back, but at the time we had a terrible internet connection.  The fix didn't get uploaded - we're doing it now.

Sorry Paul, That download has a bug in bibledit.exe.  The background saves won't happen unless you go into root/bin/ and run bibledit-git.exe .  We are compiling a new one right now.  The good news is that you won't have to download all the files again, just the exes.  I will post here when it is ready.

Okay, I found out that probably my version of BE for Windows wasn't sufficient because the exe file alone wouldn't run. But I have now successfully downloaded the zip file, so we'll see what happens next...

You need the ZIP to get started, as Windows machines generally lack the wide array of DLLs needed to make Gtk+ ports work.

There's a possibility that the exeonly download may work if you already have an older version of Bibledit for Windows, but you may still have issues.

The UPX download is bibledit.exe only, and its usually ~800k or so. Again, this one requires a previous installation to be useful.

Dan,

My internet connection is good, but limited. I tried to download the zip file link, but at 70+ MB it took a long time and in the end something didn't work right because it won't open.

I don't know too much about software development--looking at the general page that you also gave a link to, I see a variety of download options. Are any of these downloads smaller in size and would they work for me just to use the program? Or maybe they're for development or modification, so do I need to re-try the zip file?

Thanks,

Hi all (but particularly the Bibledit for Windows people),

I downloaded BE for windows some months ago, version 3.7.48.

I have not been able to get it to work with Keyman (v. 6.2.176.0), which is kind of an obstacle to me using it at all.

I would assume that at least some of the people who put Bibledit into a Windows version, or those who are using it, have used some sort of keyboard manager in order to type scripture, so maybe some of you have some suggestions.

It is not a critical problem, but since I am using Bibledit in Linux (BALSA), it would be nice to have it functional in Windows as well.

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions,
