    Downloaded and installed with no issue... Quickly checked out the new feature to change the background color of resources... Nice and I'm sure it will please the folks who were looking for something with more warmth for their eyes...

    Bradley, does this include a compare pericopes icon being placed on the toolbar section? I now have one and did not put the shortcut there...

    1. Downloaded 36 MB no problems
    2. AT about 50% installation: Logos Bible Software 4: Warning 1946. Property 'System.AppUserModel.ID' for shortcut 'Logos Bible Software 4.Ink' could not be set  (the result of me moving the Shortcut to the Windows 7 Taskbar). Finished installation without a problem.
    3. Program loaded no problem. 

     

    Looks and feels good.

    Just found a bonus, something I was going to report to see if it was a known issue, but is now fixed. When reading a resource with the chapter pane open and scrolling down with the arrow keys, it would stop at each sub chapter. I would then have to click the resources again to be able to scroll the reading material and not the chapter pane.

    Beta 3 seems to have corrected this...!

    Add button in Guides is now keyboard accessible

    What's the shortcut?

     

    Filtered Resource Picker suggestions are now ordered correctly after clearing the filter.

    Fixed default/filter selection for many resource pickers.

    I don't know what this means. What's the "Resource Picker"?

     

    Fixed bug in merging indexes (use “reindex now” to rebuild your index)

    Wonderful. Pity I reindexed over night.

     

    Improved My Library keyboard navigation.

    What's changed?

     

    New bookmarks are not created when the Show Visual Bookmarks setting is set to off.

    Thanks

     

    Added Bible Text Only visual filter

    Well done

     

    Home Page ribbon features can be disabled

    Absolutely fantastic....

    It would be nice if the implementation of the features were quickly explained.  For example, where in the world do I find the settings to do this?

    Downloaded and installed with no issue... Quickly checked out the new feature to change the background color of resources... Nice and I'm sure it will please the folks who were looking for something with more warmth for their eyes...

     

    And where do I find the Copy Bible Verses Shortcut?  Why could the notes not have given the shortcut?

    How do I disable the ribbon on the homepage?

    Seriously, it would make everyone's job easier (especially yours, Bradley) if you gave a little detail on the features in the Release Notes.  That would avoid post after post of "how do I do that?"

    Added Bible Text Only visual filter

    This seems to set the view to one verse per line, and doesn't eliminate verse numbers. It does get rid of section headings. Not what I expected.

    Added Copy Bible Verses global hotkey (in panel menu)

    I looked for this but didn't find it, until I opened the CBV and looked in its panel menu. Then I saw where it can be changed. Maybe that was obvious to everyone but me.

    Added export to Search Analysis datasheet

    Where is this added? I see the DataSheet option in the search results display. But I don't see anything added since B2. Please clarify.

    Added preference to set resource panel background color

    This is pretty cool, though only a few colors may not be enough to satisfy some. I also notice that search panels and other non-resource displays still use the default "White" background. Is that by design? I'm fine with that, just curious. (I do like the subtlety of 'Paper' just right for me).

    Added preference to turn off visual cues

    Found in the settings menu. (No need for me to change it from the default, but some really do want this.)

    Added “reindex now” command (NOTE: this currently doesn’t stop the indexer if it’s already running)

    Haven't tried this, but good idea. What should we advise people who have indexing going, who know they will want to reindex when done?

    Home Page ribbon features can be disabled

    Nice. Works great!

    Search: My Content now shows results from guides.

    I don't have much content yet in the guides. Will already built guides need to be rebuilt for this data to show up, restarted, or will it work automatically? Just curious.

    I haven't tested all the fixes yet, but have looked at a couple of them. Looks good to me so far!

    This seems to set the view to one verse per line, and doesn't eliminate verse numbers. It does get rid of section headings. Not what I expected.

    It works the way Bible Text Only worked in v3.  Which was what people were asking for.

    Hmm... fixed after a restart. Possibly to do with "Use internet" being turned off? (Although Logos seemed to be ignore that setting anyway...)

    Added Copy Bible Verses global hotkey (in panel menu)

    Thank you for the hotkey.

    I want the global CBV hotkey to Copy and Paste. Now it's two steps: first press hotkey and then Alt+P.

    There could be a selection in the panel menu to toogle between "Copy and Paste" or just "Copy" the selected passage when pressing hotkey.

    Add button in Guides is now keyboard accessible

    What's the shortcut?

     

    It's a tab stop.

     

    Filtered Resource Picker suggestions are now ordered correctly after clearing the filter.

    Fixed default/filter selection for many resource pickers.

    I don't know what this means. What's the "Resource Picker"?

    Any control with a blue dotted underline where you can pick a resource (e.g., "Entire Library" in Basic Search panel) is a "resource picker".


    Improved My Library keyboard navigation.

    What's changed?

    The image in list view isn't a tab stop, the "View" button is, etc.

    Added Bible Text Only visual filter

    This seems to set the view to one verse per line, and doesn't eliminate verse numbers. It does get rid of section headings. Not what I expected.

    It's pretty much the same as the LDLS3 "Bible Text Only" view, as far as I can tell.

    Added Copy Bible Verses global hotkey (in panel menu)

    I looked for this but didn't find it, until I opened the CBV and looked in its panel menu. Then I saw where it can be changed. Maybe that was obvious to everyone but me.

    Added export to Search Analysis datasheet

    Where is this added? I see the DataSheet option in the search results display. But I don't see anything added since B2. Please clarify.

    Try looking in the Panel Menu for this one...

    Added preference to set resource panel background color

    This is pretty cool, though only a few colors may not be enough to satisfy some. I also notice that search panels and other non-resource displays still use the default "White" background. Is that by design? I'm fine with that, just curious. (I do like the subtlety of 'Paper' just right for me).

    That's on our list; we've only implemented the setting for resource panels right now.

    Added “reindex now” command (NOTE: this currently doesn’t stop the indexer if it’s already running)

    Haven't tried this, but good idea. What should we advise people who have indexing going, who know they will want to reindex when done?

    As a temporary workaround, you could terminate the indexer process. This is not recommended in general, though.

    It's definitely in a loop.  I sorted the log file and the sync entries are repeating the same resource syncs.

    I looked for this but didn't find it, until I opened the CBV and looked in its panel menu. Then I saw where it can be changed. Maybe that was obvious to everyone but me.

    It will be added to Program Settings in the future as well.


    Added export to Search Analysis datasheet

    Where is this added? I see the DataSheet option in the search results display. But I don't see anything added since B2. Please clarify.

    Look for "Export..." in the panel menu.

    Mine ran the sync for a long time, but then settled down. Why the long sync process when there were not changes to user data?
