Mistake in Psalms Explorer?
I'm not a scholar regarding the Psalms so I'm throwing this out there if a change needs to be updated in the Psalms Explorer. All places I've read mention David being the author of 73 of the 150 psalms, yet Psalms Explorer states that David is the author of 74 psalms. Also, when I add the authors from Psalms Explorer with…
BUG: 7.14 Beta 2 - Sermon Editor saved styles deleted
This happened after Beta 1 and now again with Beta 2. All my saved styles (under the Speaker drop down menu) have been deleted. There weren't many, and they're not difficult to reproduce. Just thought you should know!

ATTN: Bradley: Can you help me understand why NOT INTERSECTS doesn't work in one case?
While helping another user, I discovered these two searches gave very different results: (<LogosMorphGr ~ V??P????> NOT INTERSECTS <Root = lbs/el/λεγω>) BEFORE 1 WORD <LogosMorphGr ~ V??M????> and (<LogosMorphGr ~ V??P????> NOTEQUALS <Root = lbs/el/λεγω>) BEFORE 1 WORD <LogosMorphGr ~ V??M????> With the latter being…
Getting tired of the exclamation mark.
I'm getting really tired of this. Whenever I click to manually choose to sync, the warning disappears for a few minutes and the tooltip claims that "all items are up to date". In a few minutes, however, the warning is back! The warning also disappears temporarily if I choose to Update Current Layout. Logs:…
Problem with lemma searching within milestones
Would someone check something for me please? I'm running Logos 7.14 beta 3 on Windows 10 and trying to search for a lemma within a milestone As the screenshot below shows searching for English words work as expected but the lemma search doesn't. So, for example, it doesn't return the hit on ICC even though the lemma is…
7.14 RC1 Bug: Passage List Merge window
The merge window in the passage list it totally funky. In order to get any of the lists to appear, one must type any character to SLOWLY expose the list. In the screencast, I simply type space/delete repeatedly. 4401.Passage list merge bug.mov Download here, if your browser is missing the plugin.

Frustration with Labels listed in right-click menu (WIN 7.14 Beta 4, 7.14.0.0019)
Labels listed in right-click menus often don't have a resource associated with them so the user must search for the source that the label is based on - very inconvenient and time consuming. As my research assistant, the Logos App should provide me with resources so I can go right to them to learn more. Also, some tool tips…

Microsoft Common Language Runtime Native Compiler (?)
On the last couple of updates Windows has popped up a message asking if I wanted to make changes to my system referring to running the Microsoft Common Language Runtime Compiler.

Sermon Editor text input controls don't work
I assume this problem is likely not isolated to the beta but I'm not sure. In Sermon Editor (on Mac) the following keyboard controls do NOT work (I'll list them and what they SHOULD do): Cmd+left arrow = place cursor at the beginning of the current line Cmd+right arrow = place cursor at the end of the line…

7.10: Feedback on pinning concordance data
I really appreciate the new option to pin concordance data so it doesn't get erased. I must admit I wouldn't have found the pinning option without reading the release notes. I was expecting to find the option on the panel menu. Perhaps it could also be added there.

Reading Plan frustration
Why is it still not possible to create a reading plan where we read one chapter per day/week?* Surely this is how most people read books, not in groups of X pages per week regardless of where those pages fall. Can any Logos devs give any encouragement about this getting any better in the future? * And yes, I know about…

Crash when starting 7.13 for the first time
I installed 7.13, without downloaded resource files. When it started, I skipped synchronizing. 45 minutes after starting (whilst I was scanning resources from another folder), it crashed whilst apparently getting a reading plan for the home page. The stack trace is at line 1436: 0312.LogosError.log

Courses tool Author sorting
I'm sorry I can't tell whether this is also a problem in the stable release or not since I run the beta on my only installation.🙈 In the sidebar of the Courses Tool, the authors are listed by the number of courses and then alphabetically.

Not sure if this is an issue

Atlas UI on Mac needs major improvement IMHO
So I tried to scroll around in the Atlas on a Mac, and I found it a totally unsatisfying experience because the gesturing on a trackpad is so inconsistent with other Mac apps and Apple accepted guidelines. Experienced Mac app users are going to hate interacting with this Atlas as the gesturing now sits, IMHO! Hopefully…

Changes to "send-to-sermon" context menu in 7.14 beta 1

This works well in Factbook but I was surprised…
Updated Atlas Tool - towns shown seem to be specific to the map
In 7.14 beta 1 on Windows 10: When using the new Atlas Tool it seems as though towns / cities are only shown if relevant to the map - see example below Note - this isn't a "zoom level" issue - other towns / villages don't appear even if you zoom in. I seem to remember the old Atlas working differently allowing other places…
LogosLoggingUtility on Mac soon to be obsolete?

Beta 7.14 Atlas comments
I am disappointed that in this iteration of the atlas you have continued to leave out reference points on the maps. For example, I have open the map of Paul's journey from Troas to Philippi. The only cities on the map are Troas, Neaopolis, and Philippi. That's a strange map indeed. I am glad to see the route pointed out,…

What's going on with Morph Query in 7.14 B1

When I'm in a reverse interlinear Bible, many Greek words are missing from the context menu.

How to Minister in a Disenchanted Age? 1 Peter and Re-Personalization
It is often assumed that Christianity grew and maturated in the ancient world because the gospel fit its sense of enchantment. So many have proposed that we need to re-enchant that which has been disenchanted. One aspect of enchantment evidently means rehabilitating ancient Christian practices—and the weirder it is, the more enchanting. While the weirdness of Christianity is unavoidable, this article wants to argue something more obvious and overlooked: Re-enchament abounds when Christians live out their ordinary lives in the midst of an unbelieving world.
