How do I get PTXprint to load my standard BT project instead of the auxiliary which isn't Scripture?

Question

I got a new computer and installed PTXprint. It autoloads my KYU Healing Wounds auxiliary project but doesn't load the standard KYU NT and OT project at all. I didn't have this problem on my old computer. I tried also exporting and printing from the standard translation project but that also doesn't work.

Answer 1

As far as I know, Paratext stores auxillary projects in a different folder to the main project. I wonder if your new computer has a copy of the standard project? If so, it should just be a case of picking it from the "Paratext project" dropdown list on the "Basic" tab.

If it can't find any other projects, then it's possible you have multiple paratext directories installed. This is particularly likely if you have paratextlite on linux -  updates some months ago seem to have switched to use a directory under  ~/snap/paratextlite/.... rather than in the home directory where PTXprint expects it to be. A symbolic link may help you in that case, or you can run ptxprint -p /path/to/ParatextProjects

Answer 2

Yeh. At the time you wrote this, you couldn't have more than one project with the same name/code. Now you should. We have switched to using the same guid identification scheme that Paratext uses. So now you should be able to eventually work out which project is the one you want :)
