  • Fixed several memory leaks in
    indexing. 
  • Fixed a bug that could cause
    the app to crash when starting the indexer in certain circumstances.

  • Fixed crash when running Bible

  • Lemma pronunciations are
    available via Context menu (if you have the appropriate resources in your

    did not work correctly on Mac which caused data to be duplicated on the
    server.

 

 

Alpha 5 will also need to rescan all of
your resources the first time you run it to correct a bug in certain indexes.
You will see “Preparing your library…” so please be patient.

    For some context on the speed improvements in indexing, I just finished indexing a fresh Platinum install, from scratch, crash-free, in just under 15 hours on a first generation MacBook (Core Duo 2.0 GHz w/ 2GB RAM; one of the oldest machines supported by Logos 4 Mac). Newer and faster machines, especially those with more RAM, should finish more quickly.

    There's still optimizing to do on the indexer, but this should reduce some of the headache associated with the indexing process.

    During the time it was indexing was there some sort of message showing the progress. I'm not seeing anything showing indexing is occurring.

    While the indexer is running, there is a small icon in the menu bar (upper-right) that looks just like the app icon. Hovering over it will show an estimate of time remaining.
