4 Buttons

There are 4 action buttons on this window:

• "Open in Tabs" - This opens the selected passages with UBA Bible Window tabs. Each passage is opened in a single tab. Therefore, for example, if there are four passages in the selected collection, they are separately opened into four tabs.

• "Hide Checked Items" - Both checked and unchecked items are displayed by default. The "Hide Checked Items" offers an options to hide those are checked, i.e. those portions being read.

• "Reset All Items" - This simply uncheck all available checkboxes. It is designed to reset all items so users can begin another cycle of reading.

• "Save Reading Progress" - This is designed to help users to track their progress. After reading each portion, user click its corresponding checkbox to have it checked. The "Save Reading Progress" keeps a copy of checked items so they are displayed next time when the window is opened again. Records are saved locally in "plugins/menu/Bible Reading Plan.txt" inside UBA home directory. [Remarks: Checking the items and closing the window without saving doesn't keep any new changes.]
