Problems with collections on Passage Guide

Now that 1.2 is starting to give us a few more features, I am using it more and more. As a consequence, I am starting to tweak on it a bit.

One of the problems i have discovered is that some of my collections do not work on 1.2 in the Passage Guide. For example, I have the Galaxy Theological Journal Collection. I would like this collection to show up in my passage guide, but it doesn't work. Doing some experimentation, I find it real hit and miss which collections do work. If I use the Ashland Theological Journal Collection it works fine. If I use the Bible and Spade Journal collection, it doesn't work. If I go to the Windows version under VMware, everything works as it should. So it appears this is a Mac problem.

Anyone else experienced problems with collections and the passage guide?

Resaving the collection has been working in most cases where it was created in the Windows version and is not working properly in Mac . In Tools | Define Collections, select the collection, click Modify, and click OK. Then try the Passage Guide again.

Wow! I was just about to do that when I read your message on here. Thanks!

Well, I tried it and I got some very erratic behavior. When I saved it, the "Define Collections" box got real sluggish. For a while, the red button at the top that you use to close it was grayed out. Then when I finally got it and closed it, I realized that the collection didn't exist any more. I looked in the directory and the file is still there, but Logos no longer sees it for some reason.

So I looked at the file using vi (unix). It's intact, but one of the thing I notice is that at the end of the file there are not the usual null lines. I delete these and Logos then sees the file again. I try then to use the collection in passage guide, same problem. So I try to open and save the file again in the collection manager and I get the same strange behavior with the file disappearing from view again. The permissions are fine and there is no obvious corruption I can see, except for the end of the file.

So it's obviously a bug of some sort. I wonder if it relates to the size, because the Theological Journal Library collection is very large. I would be happy to email it to you guys to have a look at if you like.

I have had the same problems that Donovan describes with other collections.
