Removing Locked Books

news://news.logos.com/general

Question Asked By: C. Rafael Munteanu 12/8/2004


It would nice if Libronix can include the option of listing locked books under "Remove Duplicate Resources" power tools. This way locked books can be removed easily.

There is a fairly easy way to do this -- it's still a kludge, but it works. The only problem is that it requires extra hard disk space (and you indicate that's something you're running out of).

If you had room, you could create a new directory (folder) and move all of your LDLS resources to the new folder. Then, delete the contents of the original folder.

Now, all your resources are in a new location and there is nothing in the original default location.

Open LDLS, click on Tools | Options | General | Resource Paths, and then change the Resource path to the new location (you can leave the original one listed -- it won't matter because it will be empty at this point).

Click to "refresh resources" and close the dialog box, close LDLS, and restart it.

When LDLS restarts and has found all the resources in the new location, click on Tools | System Tools and click on Location Manager.

Let the location manager find "All UNLOCKED" resources and allow the Location manager to Copy those found resources to the default resource location.

When that's complete -- you can delete that temporary (new) folder you created a few steps back. And, the default resource folder will only contain the unlocked books -- the locked resources that were originally in that folder have already been moved out and were not moved back. So they are now gone.

When you're through, go back to the Resource Path in LDLS, delete the temporary folder, and refresh your path, again.

Alas, as I indicated early, this is a bit of a kludge and it requires some extra disk space. But, I just went through this process yesterday on my new computer that had a lot of locked resources that I wanted to delete.

Blessings

Finding Keywords By Frequency

Question Asked By: "Steven Koster" <kosts@koster.com> 12/10/2004

I want to find the keywords in an original language passage by their
frequency. For example, I'd like to take the first chapter of Joshua and
get a sense of it's potential themes by how often it repeats particular root
words, like "land," or "torah," "servant".

It seems like there should be a "frequency" field in the search tool, or
even if in the Exegetical Guide or Lemma Report I could specify that only
words used more then 5 times be listed, that would be helpful.

There is an 'addin' developed by a user called Theme Discovery Reportdeveloped by a users which you can download from:http://www.scripturesite.com/macros/macrosx.html
