SwordSearcher editor or Forge text file imported by Forge. Which lines of code?

Cannot find my Forge User Manual anyone know where to download?
 
Found it, thought I saved the PDF, :cool: ⚔️its right in top right corner of the opening screen.

Ha Ha! Thanks to me, me found it.
 
You can only create that information if you compile the module with Forge. The user manual of Forge tells you how.
 
Yes sir thanks, I just saw where the help files were.
Ha! WE forget at 70 years old....
 
Is the right-click "module information" (for book modules) going to addressed in a Version Update? Somewhere I thought you said that it would save and keep this information in the regular editor in future...? It worked, then I zipped from SwordSearcher and all that information did not carry into the zipped module. I was puzzled. But just re-did it.
For now my work-around, at least for me, is export from SwordSearcher as text file. Edit that text file. Then use Forge to build book module back to SwordSearcher. From there make TWO COPIES, (1.) non-editable (2.) editable. Cause you have to have an editable on hand. But not the non-editable one. Just Curious.
 
Exporting and then building with Forge is the only way to control what appears in the module information window. My feature request list does have this issue on it -- I understand some people would like to edit that as a title page in SwordSearcher. I can't promise when or if that feature request will be implemented.

The current design is for user modules to have the module information content updated with the timestamp every time the module is edited.
 
If one looses his Editable book module file ( yep I did it), and the only copy is the NON-editable copy. Is it able to be brought back by copy each entry back into a nother book module, tedious and long but will this work? Then just rename everything as the NEW EDITABLE file? Thank goodeness this is a very short module I am going to have to do. It is the latest upload called - God's Chosen Fast - Arthur Wallis Ver. 1.0

Copying and pasting each entry into a new editable module is really the only way for a user to do this. This is why I strongly recommend starting a normal backup routine.

But in this case since you have already uploaded the module here I will take care of this for you. I'm sending you a private message with an editable copy of the module.
 
Dude, really!? Wow thank you so much!!!
