Re: [be] Need help installing onto my Mac

[David Ingraham]

Hi Eric,

It took me a couple tries to get it on, but no too hard to do. I am not an actual computer tech sort of guy, but got it all on. 

The instructions for how to install it are not that bad either. Just got to read them a bit closely.

Yeah, I wish there was an app to drag across as well. Also wish there was more detail instructions on how to actually run the program. Importing, etc..

So now the fun of inputting all the Maring into Bibledit. I figure it may be a tedious drawn out experience, but in the end praying it is worth it all. 

A question to you? What program are you using now to do USFM formatting? Do you know if it is possible to do USFM formatting on OpenOffice? All my material is in that. If I could just add the markings then it would save a lot of hassle in importing it into Bibledit. 

Anyway... glad it is on and looking forward to learning and using the program.

Just to jump in on this Mac + Bibledit bandwagon – I would love to install Bibledit on my Mac, but I'm a complete non-techie without the time to muddle through dependencies, etc., etc. I just wish there was an app to drag into the applications folder and use. :)

I have one Bible in USFM format and could put the translation I'm working on into that format for use in Bibledit, but I don't have time to learn how to install Bibledit on a Mac, so I'm rather stuck.

This is just a plea that if there is someone who can package the app in a dummie-proof form for us non-techies, that'd be wonderful. I guess it must be a lot of work (time consuming) to do that or someone would be doing it regularly with new builds.

Kind regards all!
