Passage list: wrong bible, marking, copy, delete, slow, visual filters

Daniel Gilge

Hi, please correct these bugs with Passage List (on a Mac):

1. When you copy the passages it is possible that a wrong bible is referenced
2. When you dismark the passages the hidden (need to scroll to see them) passages remain marked
3. When you copy passages it is possible that Logos copies more than you selected
4. When you delete a passage Logos might go to another part of the list (annoying)
5. Passage List is too slow (performace) when you scroll or delete a passage
6. Visual filters are not visible in Passage Lists

I could send you log files if you need but I don't want to post them here in public.

Thanks.

Hi Daniel

To properly asses your issues please provide more detail

1. Copy passages from where? Do you mean using the Add menu?

    How is it referenced? Normally all passages will refer to your preferred bible; those outside of its canon will be referenced appropriately so that the passage can be shown.

2. "dismark"? Clarify this

3. Clarify - provide an example

4. Provide an example

5. You might need to produce a Sample log.

6. VF's are not part of a Passage List. What were you expecting?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your quick reply.

1. I did a serach (for "herz") with my top bibles (LU 84, S 2000, ESV). I created a PL from the results. Then I changed one (ESV -> KJV 1900) and removed all other bibles. I selected/marked (=colored background) all passages and copied them to the clipboard. I pasted them in Pages and the reference still says Luther 1984 (but the texts came from KJV).
2. I created a PL from a search. Then all passages are selected/marked (=colored background). I clicked on one or two in order to unselect them. That looked good so far. But as soon as I scrolled down the passages appearing were still selected/marked.
3. Continuing from point 1: I marked/selected only the first two passages and copied them to the clipboard. When I pasted them there were still much more passages shown. (I think this is because of the issue described in point 2.)
4. My PL was a littlebit longer than my screen. I was somewhere in the middle. I deleted a passage. I think the passage above (or the deleted passage) was selected. The window jumped somewhere else (to the end of the list). Then I thought I could continue reading and deleting the passages from the buttom up. Then (after a deletion) most of the screen was white and sometimes it jumped somewhere else I think. This is annoying because you have to scroll after each deletion and look for the passage you stopped reading.
5. It's just not smooth and I'm not used to that with Logos which is a well thought and written software so far. Where can I send you the log files to?
6. Ok. Then this might be a feature request. I just wanted to be able to highlight words in my PL because when I compare translations I want to be able to see quickly if a word (I searched for) is in that translation or if they used another word.

Maybe I use the PL for things it isn't designed for. But as a new user to Logos I found it very helpful and started to use it. Then I discovered these issues/limitations and was happy if they got fixed.

If LU 1984 is your preferred bible then this is to be expected

Hold CTRL key down when deselecting passages. Clicking will deselect all passages except the one you clicked.

Can't reproduce with Word 2013 for Windows.

Wait until a Faithlife Tech responds as they can give you an Email address.

You can Search that translation using the Passage List in place of "All Passages"

Some of the issues relate to Mac/Pages, so a Mac user should be able to comment further.
