Module Books Information Question

[Pastor Langley]

1 - When a book is uploaded as Read Only. Does that book also stay read only when downloaded from Forum?

2 - When I renamed a book inside of SwordSearcher (Module Information section) it also removed the "user created Forge information I created".

So could someone explain what I did wrong, thought the $$ {AUTHORDETAIL} would stay the same, it is a editable book.

It stays read only when downloaded.

You can run the book through again forge with the new name and abbreviation. I don't know why the authordetail would be lost.

No, if the book is edited in SwordSearcher, SwordSearcher changes the authordetail internally with a notice about the last edit time. Anything you put in there with Forge will be replaced in that case.

I don't think this has come up before as a request, but I'll add this to my feature request list -- to make editing the info page possible from within SwordSearcher (which would disable the automatic editing notice that SwordSearcher puts there).

Thanks it was a concern only because learning. That may have been my “ next question” dunno? I have figured out what to do though. So export edit use Forge to keep. Thanks.
