Biblical Places Hangs Up
I've been working through some of the new features and watched the tutorial on biblical places from a couple of days ago. The example with Antioch from the video worked great. When loading another (Bethel North of Jerusalem) I've gotten into the dreaded spinning rainbow.
Any clues?

Observation: spinning beach ball can happen frequently when Mac lacks Free Memory. Apple's Activity Monitor can show memory usage:
Screen shot shows 131.2 MB for Page Outs - Spinning Beach Ball displays while memory pages are written out to disk => slow. When free memory (green) is low (small or non-existent slice) and page outs happening, good idea to close all applications and restart Mac. After restart, open Logos 4 and Activity Monitor, then retry Biblical People. By the way, Activity Monitor has option to show memory usage as dock icon:
After upgrading memory in recently purchased computer, Tools => Biblical Places fascinating:
Typed Bethel - then chose "Bethel (North of Jerusalem)" from list:
After "Bethel (North of Jerusalem)" displayed, hovered mouse over thumbnail in bottom row for image preview (lower left):
Noticed free memory reduce while Biblical Places generating images.

I dunno, I don't believe it's a memory issue. The tool itself doesn't want to load. As I said, loading it with Antioch was simple and quick. Now loading Biblical Places without searching anything at all causes a hang up requiring a 'force quit'.
Seems to me that 2 GB of memory should be plenty. I'll try the reboot again and see what shakes out.

Observation: after restarting iMac, watched Logos 4 use 2.1o GB memory while slowing regenerating Biblical Places over 15 minutes. While trying to replicate, opened and closed Biblical People (Abraham), then opened Biblical Places for Bethel => force quit. For Logos developers after more replications, posted logs in http://community.logos.com/forums/p/16830/127337.aspx#127337 - noticed memory allocation errors in console messages.

I have been getting a similar outcome with Biblical Places. Oddly, the feature was working until the latest index today. Now when I open BP the page is blank and I cannot close the window without a force quit either. Can't wait until it is working properly!
