How the Layout Works
This comment is about the functionality of the layout/workspace in v4 in comparision to v3. In v3 (see below) I could configure the workspace so that when I selected a new commentary from the Passage Guide, my target window for commentaries would be updated with the newly selected commentary. No additional windows/tabs would be opened.
Additionally, if I select a new passage in the Passage Guide and then select one of the listed commentaries both my scriptural reference in the upper right window and the newly selected commentary in the lower right window will change accordingly. Notice that I have several tabs in the windows to the right (in both sections). They are also linked similarily, which means that they will also change (except for the Yale Anchor Dictionary, obviously) to the new passage.
There's no convenient way to accomplish this in v4, at least I can't figure out a way to accomplish it. If I link the Passage Guide window to the sections on the right then everytime I scroll in those sections I automatically run a new Passage Guide report. If I select a different commentary I get a new commentary tab in the lower right section instead of just updating the commentary window. Eventually I'm overcrowded with tabs.
There's got to be something I'm not quite understanding in how v4 links and targets windows. Assuming I've explained my dilemma clearly can anyone suggest how I might accomplish this in v4?

I'm also perplexed. I've tried linking PG to a Commentary, with and without setting Send hyperlinks here.

Same here.
I don't care what the mechanism is; "send hyperlinks here" or "link" or whatever....but I would like the RESULT to be similar to v3

I agree. It is hard to believe that it would be a desired function by the Logos developers. It would think it is just Beta-not-finally-tuned matter.

I can say that I appreciate how in v4 when I open a new commentary from passage guide it doesn't replace the old one.

Actually I was saying just the opposite! I want to be able to target a single tab such that if I select a different commentary from the Passage Guide that commentary overwrites the existing tab. If I want to do a comparative study I can always open a new tab. But my typical method of study is to work through one commentary at t time.

Right, James, I was just saying that I liked the opposite. A good solution would be to just allow the control-click, to open it in a new tab.
My personal preference, however, is that the default be to open new tabs cause I always find myself in v3 accidentally replacing windows and then having to backtrack to figure out where I wasJacob Hantla

I've realised that these features do not apply here and that we need a re-usable tab!

James,
Yes...my comment didn't come across right I'll restate:
I WANT all of my commentaries that I click to populate the same window; to replace the last clicked commentary with the currently clicked one...ONLY if I choose to; do I want another tab to open..
is that clearer? [:D]

Much clearer Robert! I think we're going to have to go with Dave Hooton's "re-usable" tab... it seems to be gaining momentum! [;)]
