Floating windows with independent tree control?

Post by GleninTenn »

When I go to Window -> new Bible View (floating window)... is there a way to have a tree control for that floating window bible which is not sync'd to the tree control for my main Bible view?

I often find myself wanting to follow cross references in my main Bible view without changing that main view (e.g. losing train of thought in the main context).

look for "verse target" the "eye icon"

Verse Target: Select to make this Bible view a target for displaying verse links. If this Bible view is a Verse Target, then every time you click a verse reference link, this view will display the verse. If no Bible view is a Verse Target, then the active Bible view is used to display verse links.

You should notice the following:

• When a Bible view is set as a Verse Target, then it will not produce synchronization events; no Book views or Bible views will be synchronized while this option is turned on for this view.
• The Verse Target view will only respond to verse links: not to the Bible Tree, Bible Search View, F4 quick access menu
• Holding down the CTRL key causes the same Bible view to be used to display a link, even if a Verse Target view exists.
TIP: Here is what happens if you click on a verse reference:

▪ If a Verse Target view exists then:
o the Verse Target view is used
o the same (originating Bible view) is used if CTRL is pressed
▪ If a Verse Target view does not exist
o the same (originating Bible view) is used
o another random Bible view is used if CTRL is pressed.
