Hi there.

As proposed in another thread (http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=5844) , here is a rapier specific thread in the Apps forum.

Pamadio,

I'll bite.
Rapier in LCARS Modern theme looks terrible.
Anyway to ajust font color?
Thanks,

Dan

Neat thread, thanks for starting this.

Feature Requests:
- different book/chapter/verse chooser (something like Palm Bible+ but adjusted for screen size)
- search to be a popup screen instead of a sidebar
- ability to tag/bookmark verses (or sets of verses and chapters)

Really way out but neat idea: ability to export a bookmark/tag to the Notes application. Within the Notes application it would be hyperlinked to open Rapier right at the verse linked.

I also appreciate the effort on this. I do not know how to program but I would be more than happy to help with any beta testing.

I use Rapier daily even in Sunday School & Church, the Sunday School Teacher even asks me to look up the Strong's definitions on a regular basis.

Again if there is anything other than programing I can help with let me know.

Sweet, great to see other people reading the Bible on their IT =)

pamadio, I requested to join at http://garage.maemo.org. Thanks!

I use it (Rapier) quite a bit, too. Although, since our church has wireless access to the Internet, I also tend to browse to www.biblegateway.com, depending on what's going on.

I definitely am glad to see work being done to improve Rapier.

Pamadio, thanks for Rapier. I use it quite a bit, especially when I travel. It's nice to have (several) bible(s) with me without taking up space in my suitcase.

One addition I'd like to see is programmable navigation keys ala FBReader. I really like the fact that I can hold the tablet in one hand and read pages of a book with FBReader. I'd really like to be able to read the Bible the same way - i.e. a full page view with a page down key to make it easy to read several chapters at a time.

Rapier is great -- I just haven't gotten enough nerve to bring it to sunday school/church yet, since people might think I was trying to 'show off'

Anyways, has anyone pondered the possibility of adding some public domain maps to the package? A very good compilation from very sources is mentioned here:

http://www.swordsearchermodules.net/images_frame.html

The alternative, so far, is just to download the maps as 'picture' files without any connection to the Rapier application itself -- but perhaps a more 'integrated' approach could be beneficial.

I had those thoughts,too, when I started bringiing my (then) iPAQ. I suppose, back when printed Bibles were still rare, people who had them felt the same way...there are still times when I prefer using a "real" Bible...

I think that would be cool!

I have just recently uninstalled my sword bible because I needed to reformat my internal memory card (I had the reported size error). What I disocverd was quite supprising. I had the actual text of the two bibles I downloaded SIX folders deep. I don't have it now but it ws somthing like six folders that repeated inside each other. Did I somehow mess up the original installtion or is it supposed to be like that? (or perhaps it was corrupted by my memory size problem?)

Anyway, I need to reinstall so what is the best location today for instructions to install?
Anyone seen a folder 'map' that shows what I will see after a proper installation?
Thanks.
