Logos Tips "Announcement"
As some of you have noticed, I've started putting "Tips of the day" in the Logos 6 forum. On weekend it morphs into a series of extracts from old forum posts - "oldies" come from Logos 4 or 5; "redux" come from Logos 6.
I have just started collecting these on a Reading List "Logos/Verbum/Noet training: Forum tips" - sorry I find a Reading list faster to maintain than the wiki so its a reading list. You will notice it also includes recent tips by Francis, Fr. Devin, Dave, Denise, Mark Barnes, Josh Hunt ...
Here's my framework:
- If you put "Tip" in the title and the tip actually works, I will add it to the list
- If I happen to notice something that I think ought to have had the word tip in it or is a particularly good answer to a question, I will add it to the list
- Feel free to add anything you think I missed to the list, preferable at the top for my convenience.
- Feel free to add a note on anything that is obsolete ... we'll eventually remove them but I have no actual "plan"
- Please feel free to add additional information to any of my posts - differences for Mac, Now, Cloud or the apps ...; links to videos; alternative ways to do it especially Command box and keyboard shortcuts which are weak points on my part
- If I see someone else has posted a "TIP of the day" with that heading, I'll likely skip posting that day to emphasize this is a community effort not my soapbox.
Some hints as to where you can be most helpful my filling in my gaps. You've probably noticed that I think in terms of multiple ways to look at/get to the same data or achieving the same goal. I don't lead towards setting a concrete goal and having a consistent way to get there. I tend to overlook the straight-forward simple things that can make all the difference - drag-and-drop to favorites, setting up hot keys, copy from command box, floating panels ....So please, if you've found a way to do something that works well for you, share it. If you've just discovered a new feature share it. And if you have a good answer to someone's question, or someone gave you a good answer don't hesitate to give it recognition. We all know different things but collectively we know a lot.

Thanks for all your work initiating this. I for one have very much appreciated your "tips of the day" and like your ideas suggested here.

Is there a link for this? Great idea, but we surely don't want to burden it and you with duplicates.

The Tips appear in the Logos 6 forum; the Reading List is accessible under Tools ==> Bible reference ==> Reading Lists (2nd column of Tools)

Thanks for instigating and orchestrating this community effort, I'm sure many will greatly benefit from it. My question is how do you guys draw on the screen shots you posted? This definitely helps in your explanations so if I share something (or others like me) I'd like to be able to use these visual cues too.
Grace and peace!

If you use a helper program to do the screenshot (instead of the "bare bones" PrtScrn), these offer various drawing/writing/highlighting capabilities. MS Windows comes with Snipping Tool which has a highlighter and a pen, each with several colors, that's free drawing. If you use e.g. Jing, this comes with arrows, frames, text boxes and the opportunity to be invoked by keyboard, so to capture pop-ups. See http://wiki.logos.com/screenshot for some of these.
Have joy in the Lord!

In addition here is a good discussion on what others on the forums use - https://community.logos.com/forums/p/87737/615763.aspx
Personally I use a great program called Bug Shooting that I gleaned from this discussion - http://www.bugshooting.com/Home/Pricing
