clipboard monitor . picked up wrong reference

Post by kenfhill84083 »

in Freeplane mindmap ap, I selected and copied to clipboard 2 nodes: Jn 14.18-23 & Jn 16.7-8. But the clipboard monitor mistook Jn 16.7-8 and returned 3 Jn 1.7-8 (although it labeled it as 3 Jn 16.7-8)

Could it be picking up the "3" in "23" the previous mindmap node and putting it in front of the 2nd node's content?

see image.

version 6.0.0.1530

It does the same thing in Atlantis word processor, Libreoffice Writer, and RightNote. I have closed and re-launched theWord.

Yes it confuses the detection. Really the refs are best terminated with a ;

Thanks. I will try to remember that but it seems kind of awkward. Being so excellent, I would expect TW to be more robust in this aspect.

Clipboard monitor is such a great feature, I even got my wife to dip her toes into TW because of it (she is a Logos user). I hope she doesn't run into a case that results in the wrong ref getting picked up. I doubt I can talk her into ending all refs with a semicolon.

I will have to ask Jonathan to see what is happening here. I thought we finally got detection fixed, but it appears that we are playing "whack-a-mole" with the code.

Greetings,
The problem is what does a space act as. Visually it could assume to be a delimiter.
But the question is it the end of a reference or the end of a verse or the end of something else or is it just a divider.
For example:
John 3:4 8 10 we would assume John 3:4, 8, 10 noting that the commas are needed.
Likewise in references they have a delimiter to indicate the reference has ended if there is another reference to follow.
John 3:13 John 1:3 would be John 3:13; John 1:3
John 3:13, John 1:3 would also work.

This would be pretty normal in regards to grammar/punctuation.

Also note these situations would only impact a reference that follows if it is a Book proceeded by a number and if the previous reference ends in that number without a delimiter.

Good morning Jonathan, I will put this note here.

The issue is surely more than what you have noted above.

The sequence of vrefs are like this Jn 14.18-23 Jn 16.7-8

However for the last ref picked up by the CM it gets 3 John 1:7-8
So this is so off what is there, as it should be looking for a good reference John 16:7-8 and accepted that at some stage of the logic, and not searched past looking for a 3 which is actually connected to the 2 of 23
Why is the code treating the 2 like a boundary. Surely there is something wrong with the regex code?
Logos does not have an issue with parsing the above when imported in to a passage list so I am speculating there is a way to solve this issue.

Here is another example (for "2 Cor 5:14-15, it found that ref + repeated verse 14):

I cannot repeat this issue when copying from your post. I guess it is something to do with the program you are using?

And another 3. But 1 worked OK.

These work fine if done individually.

The first series are from Freeplane mindmapping app. The screenshot attached here is from Libreoffice Writer. But in Atlantis word processor it works OK.

In Google Docs it works OK also.

We do have a fix for both these issues. It will take some time to get through to beta release stage, for public consumption.

Good to hear. Thanks. Is that the latest beta?

Not at beta stage. No idea when it will be at that stage for upload to the beta releases. It has to get past Costas.
