Regardons les différentes parties de l'application une par une.

La bibliothèque

La bibliothèque donne la liste les modules installées, classées par catégories et par langues. La catégorie "Signets" permet de conserver vos signets et d'y accéder.

Lire des modules

Pour ouvrir une module, cliquez avec le bouton gauche de la souris sur la catégorie souhaitée. (Bibles, Commentaires, Lexiques, Livres, Devotionals ou Glossaires) pour en afficher le contenu. Cliquez ensuite sur une module pour l'ouvrir. Une fenêtre de lecture apparaîtra dans l'espace de bureau.

If you are reading a certain work, and want to open another work at the passage you are reading, you can use a shortcut. Simply click with the left mouse button on the verse/passage reference (pointer changes to hand) and drag it to the Bookshelf. Drop it on the work you want to open, and it will be opened for reading at the specified location. You can also drag a verse reference into an existing read window, then it will jump to the specified location.

Informations supplémentaires à propos des modules

If you click with the right mouse button on the symbol of a work, you will see a menu with additional entries that are relevant for this work. "About this work" opens a window with lots of interesting information about the selected work. "Unlock this work" opens a small dialog for encrypted documents, where you can enter the unlock key to access the work. For additional information on locked works, please see the Locked Modules page on the Société biblique Crosswire web site.

Rechercher dans des modules

You can search in a work by clicking with the right mouse button on its symbol and selecting "Search in work(s)". By pressing Shift and clicking on other works you can select more than one. Then follow the same procedure to open the search dialog. You will be searching in all of these documents. A complete description of the operation of the search features can be found on the Searching in Works section.

Astuce

Le glisser-déplacer fonctionne ici

Click with the right mouse button on the bookmark category of the bookshelf and select "Create new folder" to create a new bookmark subfolder. You can use normal drag & drop functions to drag verse references from read windows or search results to the bookmark folder, and to rearrange bookmarks between folders.

You can also import bookmarks from other people or export bookmarks to share them. To do this, open the context menu of the bookmark folder as described above, and select "Export bookmarks". This will bring up a dialog box for you to save the bookmark collection. You can import bookmarks in a similar way.

You can also click with the right on folders and bookmarks to change their names and descriptions.

Le zoom

Cette petite fenêtre dans le coin inférieur gauche de la fenêtre de BibleTime est complètement passive. Quand le pointeur de la souris est au-dessus d'un passage avec une information complémentaire (les uméros Strong par exemple), cette information est affichée dans le zoom, et pas dans le texte-même. Essayez.

Le bureau

The Desk is where the real work with BibleTime takes place. Here you can open works from the Bookshelf, read them, search in them, and even save your annotations in the personal commentary module (see below).

Lire des modules

Comme nous l'avons déjà vu, vous pouvez ouvrir des modules pour les lire en cliquant simplement sur leur icône dans la bibliothèque. Une fenêtre de lecture s'ouvre alors dans le bureau. Chaque fenêtre de lecture a sa propre barre d'outils, avec des outils pour naviguer au sein de l'module affichée ainsi que des boutons d'historique semblables à ceux de votre navigateur web.

Le positionnement de la fenêtre de lecture

Of course, you can open multiple works at the same time. There are several possibilities for arranging the read windows on the desk. Please have a look at the entry Window in the main menu. There you can see that you can either control the placement of the read windows completely yourself, or have BibleTime handle the placement automatically. To achieve this, you have to select one of the automatic placement modes available at WindowArrangement mode. Just try it out, it's simple and works.

Éditer votre propre commentaire

To be able to store your own comments about parts of the Bible, you have install a certain work from the library of the Société biblique Crosswire. This work is called "Personal commentary".

If you open the personal commentary by clicking on its symbol in the Bookshelf with a left mouse button, it opens in read mode. You will not be able to edit it in this mode. Should you wish to write annotations into the personal commentary, you have to open it with the right mouse button and then select Edit this work and then either Plain text(source code editor) or HTML(basic gui wysiwyg editor).

Astuce

If Edit this work is deactivated, please check if you have write permission for the files of the personal commentary.
