Reading External Files

UniqueBible.app supports reading external files like this Word Document.

Currently, we support opening files of the following formats on "Study View"

  • UniqueBible.app File (*.uba) - created with our built-in note editor.
  • HTML File (*.htm / *.html)
  • Plain Text File (*.txt)
  • Word Document (*.docx)
  • Portable Document Format (*.pdf)

This feature is intended for use with notes saved in external file.

Open via Toolbar's Buttons

Three buttons located on study view toolbar are created for access of this feature.

  • Open – to open a file dialog for users to select a file from their system
  • Last Opened File – a button, labeled with the filename of the last opened file. This button is created for quick access of the last opened file. For example, you had edited your notes in the last opened file with an external program. You can get the latest update, simply by clicking this button.
  • Edit – a button labeled with “Edit”. This button is created for quick opening of the file with default external application. Please note that some pdf file application does not offer feature for editing.

  • Open Document File – open file dialog to select a file to be opened.
  • Last Open File – load the last opened file with UniqueBible.app.
  • Edit Last Opened File – open external application to edit the last opened file. Please note that some pdf file application does not offer feature for editing.
