Installation

I had to get a new office computer. I installed Logos 5 and downloaded my books (10 + GB) overnight. Came back and started Logos, and the Preparing you library box (This may take a while) has been taking 5+ hours. Is that normal? I'm afraid to restart. Thanks for your help.

Just restart... You'll be OK. [:)]

If he's still indexing, he shouldn't restart. That will causing indexing to begin again from the start when it reboots.

5 hours isn't excessive I don't think. Depends on how many resources you have. But I think it should let you use Logos while it's indexing, if it's not, then I'd call support.

If the 'Preparing you library (This may take a while)' box is showing, indexing probably hasn't even started.

That will causing indexing to begin again from the start when it reboots.

No it wouldn't.

fgh, On what basis do you say this? If the indexing process is killed during first time indexing (by a system shutdown or whatever), it starts over when the computer is restarted. At least that's the way it was last time I did an install from scratch (which, granted, was a couple years ago). Or are you saying he's okay to restart because indexing hasn't started yet?

Actually, it's not indexing as far as I can tell (no % indicator). It simply says Preparing your library (this may take a while...)

Thanks,

Thanks for the help. I decided to restart. When I did, I double-clicked Logos and it opened up. Looks like everything is indexed as well. Maybe it was just stuck in a loop or something. Anyway, it's running like a champ again.

Blessings,

This isn't an isolated incident as other users have done the same.
