Beta version seems to be stuck on "installing application update"
3051.Logos Log Files.zip Just installed beta version on a new Windows account. Restarted computer and when I restarted Logos, still seems to be hung on "installing...". Seems to be working otherwise, but it's not giving me the functions that Beta has working. Thanks for your help. Brian
Bug - Full Screen misbehaviour
1586.LogosLogs.Mike.20160902-083516.zip I have tried to post a video of my screen which oscillates between desktops but get an error. In order to reproduce ( I don't know which features are germane) Logos 7 in full screen mode. Two screen set up. Go to bible (in my case via a shortcut) and open directly in a floating…
Can Bible references in Sermon Documents when in "All" view by hyperlinked?
I know this was discussed during beta testing but wanted to flag it again now sermon documents are in beta testing on mobile (which is really good to see[:)]) On the desktop a Bible reference entered into the text changes colour but is not active as a hyperlink in the "All" view (item 1 below) When this syncs to the iPad…
BUG:Logos ignores secondary display on startup
7.1 Beta 4 Mac OS 10.11.6 Well, FL has made Mike's Bug - Full Screen misbehavior worse. I had a simple layout with the main window and a single floating window on the primary display. On the secondary display, I had the Library window enlarged to fit all the area below the Mac OS Menu bar. Upon restart, everything was…
Morph Grid Suggestion
I'm really impressed at what can be done using the Morph Grid tool! Let me suggest that there should be a way to toggle the results to a new search window or to repopulate the current target search window with new results. I'm forever tweeking the paramaters of a search and can end up with way too many search windows /…

Thread reply => http://community.logos.com/forums/p/45020/849938.aspx#849938 has sample screen shots showing image repetition from interaction with visual filter that inserts text plus margin image disappearing when combining with highlighting color. Keep Smiling [:)]
Visual Copy content is bunched together
I'm not sure if this is due to the latest beta or not, but it wasn't this way yesterday. Any idea what's going on?
BUG: totally nonstandard right click menu link
Why is this link to Factbook so nonstandard and cryptic?
Bug: Spacing of text in Bible People Visual Timeline
Notice space Abram to Nahor Another example with 2 more samples of the spacing error plus inconsistent wording between graphic and ribbon
Attn: Sean Boisen re: community tagging
I see that at least two resources I had added community tags to (and pestered you with LCV inconsistencies and missing data) have now been tagged officially - thank you and bravo. However, I would find it very helpful if when the official tag was added, identical community tags were removed ... I don't need things…
CRASH: 7.1 Beta 2 Mac OS 10.11.6
Was reading a journal article when Logos was replaced by the Apple Crash Dialog. My layout is fairly complex and includes the Courses tool in a floating window. The journal article was in the same floating window in front of the Courses tool Other than that, I can't think of any action which caused the crash. Upon restart,…
BUG or do I misremember timeline behavior
On mouse-over a timeline event, I basically get the event repeated: Didn't I use to get this which I now get by clicking on the event then mouse over on the popup? It would certainly be the more logical behavior.
BUG: Hebrew I can read ... because it isn't Hebrew ....
Selecting Bibles seems a little useless in the Biblical Event Navigator as my BHS is not in English ...
Norton Security Deluxe and Norton Power Eraser suspicious of Logos files. (WIN 7.1 Beta 3_7.1.0.0010
I have Norton Security Deluxe (current, "up-to-date" version - sorry, no version number found) installed on my computer.

BUG: Indexer not working (Confirmed by at least one other)
Noticed when new resources downloaded the indexer did not show in MAC top status bar. Using the rebuild index command also fails, indexer just will not start.

RE: Floating Windows now open to a larger window.
I know there was a previous discussion on this, but I want to add to this problem that the title bar is hidden behind the Windows Taskbar, when the taskbar is anchored to the top of the screen (without auto-hide). This happens on floating windows, tool windows, about box, etc. This is hugely inconvenient.
Bug 7.0 SR-1: Media Download Queue is lost after a restart

Result: * When you re-open the resource menu, the menu says "Download All Media", demonstrating that the downloads have all been…
BUG: Inconsistent reference values in index ... or do we need a chart of recognized notations?

There's a very useful new search operator in 7.1 Beta
With all the new searches, it's sometimes been tricky to compose the search criteria correctly. Imagine you're looking for the times when Jesus speaks to Peter. You know it's {Speaker <Person Jesus>} and {Addressee <Person Peter>}. But do you use WITHIN, or ANDEQUALS? And if it's WITHIN, which one will be WITHIN the other?…
INTERSECTS always superior to ANDEQUALS and WITHIN 0 WORDS for typical usage scenarios?
Thanks for the new INTERSECTS operator. I've been running some tests, and I'm getting the impression that INTERSECTS is superior to ANDEQUALS at finding translated words, and that it is far superior to WITHIN 0 WORDS at finding others tags that correspond to words. For example, to find everywhere that the ESV…

L7 Crash upon load - Windows 10
Please help me with this issue. I know that it's late here on the east coast, but hopefully someone can help. Logos 7 Beta 1 crashes upon loading, with a Windows Error.

Proverbs Explorer tagging. Is it complete?
I was looking at this verse and wondered if it really supported all the themes listed. Killing, war, prayer, purity, sickness? Am I being obtuse? Or does the data need some cleaning up?

Answered by Bradley elsewhere ....BUG: a problem somewhere in the stemming routine/dictionary lookup
To track down the frustrating random results of a double click dictionary lookup, I put the dictionaries at the very top of my priority list so their behavior is not affected by inadvertent inclusion of English or Spanish headwords in other resources. I opened the NRSV and the RVR60 to 1 Cor 2:6 to provide example words.…

BUG: unable to turn filter off until master level is turned on
In the above situation I cannot turn the Catholic Study Bible off until I turn show multiple resources on. When I am trying to change resources, this makes the process waste resources building the layout with the resource I don't want before I change to the resource I do want.
7.0 SR-1 Bug: Visual Filter selector is case sensitive

Going nuts but ... selection box for Parallel Gospel Reader
This is bizarre but I don't recall how to make the interactive give me the choice of Gospel Harmonies ... and it's not where I expected. So I opened the interactive only to have it sit there staring mindless at me expecting me to make the first move.
6.14 RC4 - Crash whilst exporting from a Bible to Word 2016
I was attempting to export John 4 (NIV 2011) to Microsoft Word. Logos crashed when I clicked Microsoft Word under "Send to New Document". The logs didn't capture the crash, so I'm adding the data from event viewer. I noticed that before the crash the print preview said "This panel supports export only" or words to that…
A challenge you can try yourself! Can you succeed?
So imagine if you, like me, have Verbum 6.13 on a Mac, latest OS. And imagine that due to a bug being researched by FL, you decide you need to install 6.14 RC-4 Verbum on your Mac. "Set Update channel to beta" will not work, your only choice is to install the installer file for Verbum 6.14 RC-4. You might try: 1. Checking…

BUG: Missing "More" in the Apparatuses Subsection of Textual Variants
In the Old Apparatuses Section, one could set the number of apparatuses to be shown. In Textual Variants, all subsections default to showing five with a more option.

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.

Joseph of Nazareth, the adoptive father of Jesus, is neglected in theology and biblical studies and even in devotion. In Protestantism, he is seldom more than a Christmas decoration.
