Weekly lectionaries no longer open to nearest next reading

In previous versions of Logos, when a Lectionary resource was opened, it opened at the reading for the NEXT date.  So if you had a weekly lectionary with readings every Sabbath, and you opened the resource on a Monday, it would open to the reading for the next Sabbath day.   Somewhere along the line something in Logos changed so that is no longer the case.  Now, when a weekly lectionary resource is opened, if there is not a reading on that specific day, it simply opens to the very beginning of the resource.  Hopefully this can be changed back to the way it used to be.

    I was using the weekly Sabbath lectionary:

    You should be able to reproduce it with the above.

    I also looked at the Christian Worship One Year Lectionary which has weekly Sunday readings.  That one somehow opens to the correct next Sunday.  So it partially works right... but if you then type in a date that is not a Sunday it won't go anywhere.  It used to be in Logos that if you typed in a date that wasn't a Sunday it would still go to the reading for that week.

    Hi Wyn

    I don't have that resource in my library - I have been testing with the Revised Common Lectionary. I think you are right in that the behaviour of the lectionary has change somehow.

    I can bring up individual Sundays by typing in the exact date in the 'correct' format intermediate dates give no response.

    I'll forward this to the appropriate teams for investigation. Thanks for reporting it!

    I wasn't able to reproduce this. I tested both the RCL and the Christian Worship One Year Lectionary in the stable versions of Verbum and Logos. Whether I open them from the homepage sidebar, command bar or library, they open to the coming Sunday.

    Can you be more specific about how you're opening the lectionary? Also, can you provide the software version you're running and the resource version (from the resource info pane) of the lectionary(ies) you're testing?

    Thanks.
