Index of Logos Maps??

Rosie Perera said:

Even though there isn't an index of all the maps, you can do a search for all maps in your Library using this syntax (which is shown in the helpful new Search hints feature):

#image ANDEQUALS tag:map

Note that this will only include maps that are in resources in your library, thus it will not include the maps that are in the Biblical Places dataset. The only way to access those is through Biblical Facts, though Biblical Facts will also access maps that are in library resources.

Related to your question, it would be awesome if Logos would provide basic browsing access to all the data in Biblical Facts (i.e., an index to all People, Places, Things, and Events in the datasets), so we can discover all that is in there without having to know a particular term to search for.

Also, I'd like to see a key somewhere that explains what each of the possible icons in Biblical Facts means (most of them one can figure out from context):

Rosie, I'm amazed that there is something about Logos that I knew that you didn't.

I just found today in a video (I think it was by Mark Barnes), that your ??? are Groups of people.

Thre is a separate icon for named Females (red or pink in color).

Sorry that those links no longer work: I've filed a bug report. For the record, the previous links were based on <a target="_blank" href="logos4:Places;">logos4:Places;</a>, but in Logos 5, people, places, and things are all in the Bible Facts tool. So the new base is <a target="_blank" href="logos4:Facts;">logos4:Facts;</a>. (but i'm hoping we can make the old links work again in a future release)

I haven't yet been able to create an updated set of links: there may be some other issues going on. I'll try to post back here with a revised list when i have one that works with Logos 5.

Excellent!

That's right. There are also several different icons used for places, depending on what type of place it is.

• Cities have a castle
• Regions have a pin
• Natural features (mountains, rivers, lakes, etc.) have a mountain

Thanks for the explanation. It would still be nice if Logos had a key to all of these icons somewhere within the software. Sean?

I agree that would be useful to have a legend: i'll pass that suggestion along to our design group.

Thanks! That will help others explore and learn the product in the future...

Just don't ask me to explain the origin of the icons for Guides and Tools

Um, yeah. Some of them are quite...interesting.

Everyone, quick, out of context, would you be able to guess what these refer to? Some kind of games for kids?

  = bubbles?

 = a loopy roller coaster?

  = an upside-down sippy cup?

 = backwards musical notes, or a pitch-n-put golf course?

I'm just joshing. I'd find it pretty hard to make up icons for all the tools in Logos. So kudos to the graphic design group.

Bubbles? No, I'd guess a block of swiss cheese

A loopy roller coaster? No, I'd guess an early Christian writing the fish symbol but nervous that someone antagonistic to "The Way" was watching so they put a hook on the end to look like they were just doodling

An upside-down sippy cup? No, I'd guess a canon

Backwards musical notes or a pitch-n-put golf course? No, I'd guess a section of a zipper

Hee hee! Great guesses.

The answers are:

Execrable Guide

Bible Nonsense Lexicon

Lowlighting Tool

Timeout

How do you open the note file?

Brisa Davis said the links were fixed in 5.0b RC1, and Milford said he was able to open the file. I'm assuming this means that the file has been fixed, I'm just unsure on how to open it?

Thanks Rosie!
