I love the app for my letter writing and personal study. Generating QR code and short links, with toolbox. But need help with the “image search” for my own study projects I know it’s me not putting in the right thing, I use an iPad Pro. Any help would be appreciated, instead of pages of EvalError:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello sister,

 

Thanks for the feedback. I’m aware of the issue with the image search and will send a patch sometime in the future. As a temporary fix, simply refreshing the image search webpage again should resolve the problem.  

 

The website has been undergoing several upgrades over the past few months and will continue until November this year.

For image search, I use this link I was given a long time ago, still work very well

JW Web Add-on
Version 12

 

This upcoming update introduces new appearance options for Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY™, adds direct navigation between the Audio and Video Libraries, strengthens reading and sharing tools, and makes media features more dependable as website pages and players change.

 

Version 12 is scheduled for release within the next few weeks.

 

New Features and Capabilities

---

• WOL Dark Mode. This new feature provides System, Light, and Dark appearance options throughout Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY. System follows the device's appearance, while Light or Dark can remain selected between visits when WOL is permitted to save preferences. Supported outline icons are also easier to see in Dark mode.
  The website's privacy policy must be accepted before the appearance preference can be saved.
   

• Media Library Buttons. Direct shortcuts now connect the two JW.ORG® media libraries. An Audio button appears in the Video Library, and a Video button appears in the Audio Library. Each button opens the corresponding library in the current language.
• Alt Text View. Image descriptions now appear alongside the image in the full-screen JW.ORG gallery on desktop and mobile, with the text direction matched to the language of the description. The description changes when the gallery moves to another image and disappears when the current slide is a video or has no description, preventing outdated text from remaining visible.
  
   
• Expand Width. The saved wider layout now applies as the page opens and reapplies whenever website content changes, reducing visible resizing and flickering. Issues that caused embedded videos to overlap with nearby content have also been fixed.

 

 

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Reading, Searching, and Sharing

• Paragraph Link. This feature now remains connected to the paragraph or Bible verse you selected and uses the correct title, publication, language, and text direction from that page. Links are generated more safely, and the WOL option appears only when the selected item is confirmed to be available there. The menu also updates correctly when another paragraph is selected, and an unnumbered first Bible verse now uses the same numeral script displayed elsewhere on the page.
• Read in the App. An issue that caused this feature to stop working altogether has been fixed. It now uses the latest infrastructure available on the website. It verifies the exact publication and language before offering JW Library® or WOL options, displays only confirmed destinations, keeps titles and language labels correct when the page and publication use different languages, and avoids adding an outdated button after a publication card changes or disappears.
• Play Media in the App. The JW Library button now reliably connects to the audio or video currently being viewed. Duplicate, misplaced, and outdated buttons are removed correctly, and the current media is verified again when the button is selected.
• Copy Text. Copy Text now preserves useful formatting, working web links, line breaks, and pronunciation guides more reliably when copying paragraphs or Bible verses. It falls back to plain text when formatted copying is unavailable, and a failed copy attempt no longer affects the next unrelated copy action.
• Advanced Search. Advanced Search now handles publication mnemonics and dated issues, document IDs with an optional paragraph number, audio and video citations, standard JW.ORG searches, and WOL searches more reliably. Its options remain connected to the current search box as pages change, and special characters are handled safely so that each option opens the intended destination.
• Online Citation. Online Citation now displays the correct information for the current page, including the document ID or publication mnemonic when required. The website reference and any appended number are copied more reliably, duplicate citation components are removed, menu divider and link styling issues have been fixed, and numbers remain in the correct order on pages read from right to left.
• Language Count. Language Count now works more reliably for articles, Study Bible content, and audio and video items. They update when the content changes, and an issue that allowed a total from one page or media item to carry over to another has been fixed.
• Daily Text. Daily Text is now more dependable on the Library page. The date is checked again each time the shortcut is used. This ensures that it still opens the current day's text after the page has remained open overnight. Failed label requests also no longer disrupt the page.

Appearance and Page Layout

• Sticky Action Bar. The action bar now maintains the correct size and position while scrolling, resizing, opening menus, and changing pages, including on layouts with a mobile header. Issues that caused it to disappear, move incorrectly, or appear more than once have been fixed.
• Custom Table View. Custom Table View has moved to its new location under the View menu in the action bar. The controls and sorting also recover when tables or page content change.

Media

• Video Transcript. Transcripts are now more reliable and work properly for videos with available download options. A recurring issue that prevented the transcript Copy or Download options from appearing or functioning has been fixed. Transcript windows now close and clean up more reliably, and Copy includes a fallback when the standard method fails. PDF downloads are available for supported languages, and long transcripts are handled more smoothly. For languages that do not support PDF downloads, the transcript viewer, TXT download, and Copy options remain available.
• Second Display. Startup, synchronization, and media switching are now more reliable. Issues involving first video frames, rapid media changes, and switching between audio and video have been fixed. The second window can recover after being reloaded or temporarily losing its media, and old captures are cleaned up correctly. When a video is already paused, a placeholder remains visible until playback is ready instead of showing an incomplete or outdated frame.
• Customize Subtitles. Subtitle customization now recovers when the player or its menus load late, are replaced, or change during navigation, without creating duplicate controls. The menu remains within the available player and page space on desktop, smaller screens, and full-screen video. Subtitle sizing also adapts to the current video area, and activity associated with old players is cleaned up. An issue that sometimes prevented custom subtitle styles from loading or caused the feature to fail altogether, has also been fixed.
• Continue Watching. Saved progress and resume prompts now remain tied to the current video when players are reused or pages change, and progress shared across tabs is handled more consistently. An issue that caused the resume prompt to display the length of a different video has been fixed, along with the random flickering of a "0."
• Image Download. Image downloads are now much more reliable. The button follows the current gallery item, disappears on video slides, returns on image slides, prevents duplicate downloads, and opens the original image in a new tab if a download cannot be created.
• Custom Media Player UI. The custom player appearance is now limited to JW Stream and can be controlled only from the add-on Control Panel. The button that previously appeared in the media player has been removed. When enabled, the feature automatically applies the custom appearance to the video controls. When disabled, it cleanly restores the normal appearance.
• Media Player Control Keys. Keyboard controls are now available only on JW Stream. They follow the visible player even when it is replaced. An issue that caused a single key press to produce duplicate responses from the player has been fixed.

Add-on Control Panel

• Control Panel. The add-on Control Panel now displays N/A instead of OFF, when a feature is unavailable.

 

Deprecated Features

• Subscribe Buttons. This feature is no longer available and has been removed.
