Thank you for the wonderful update. I've been a little obsessed lately! It's been awhile since I've used my Logos because the previous one was on my iMac and useless. It froze up so many times that I gave up and stopped using it altogether.

Logos 8 has some good changes but I am disappointed you didn't keep more of items that were in Logos 7. I see when looking at the list of changes that were made there is the intent to bring those back sometime in the future. I hope that future is not far away. I like having info on upgrades and what they are for as well updates on the library and other features. Thanks for a great start. Cliff S

I am grateful to see many new added features. I really like Canvas for inductive Bible study. However, I would like to see two features added.
First, I would like to print directly to my printer from Canvas. Secondly, I would like new features or items to be added. It would be greatly beneficial to use charts/tables (similar to what one can find in Microsoft Word) in order to provide a survey of a larger passage of Scripture. See the attachment for an example.
Thank you kindly for your consideration.

You have taken most things that were in front of our face and hidden or buried it in menus or some kind of list. It is difficult enough to remember all of the features and to know what I have access to without hiding it. I have no idea what gets downloaded or updated because you have hidden inside something else or you don't display it at all. I liked having the updates being displayed at the top. Yes I have watch the tutorials but trying to remember where it is all at is a pain.

Hi Cliff,
i am in my seventies, don’t like change and finding it increasingly difficult to remember Things.
Nevertheless, (after playing around with Logos 8 for a few weeks, watching videos and perusing these forums) I am now lobing and appreciating many of the chang3s and new features.
My prayer is that you would be able to get used to Logos 8 real quickly brother.

I am also in my seventies and I have been playing around with Logos 8 also and there are changes I like and think they are big improvement. I was looking around last night and discovered a couple things that had already forgotten about. Hopefully I will be able to recall it in the future. While I know I can search the library for new books I have purchased I would like it to be more apparent that it has been downloade. I very much enjoy Logos and have on my laptop and on my iPad which tend use more due to its convenience. There are aspects of iOS that am not satisfied with either but I have many have the same dissatisfactions. Although its recent updates were a major improvement and make it easier to use. Howver I find that Faithlife is not the only company hiding things deeper into their programs instead of being able to easily see it at the top of the page. Change is a constant in life and in time I will adapt hopefully before they change it again.

I just found out how to find recent downloads to my Logos Library. Maybe I am getting the hang of it.

I've noticed the packages for people who had bibleworks have been modified, but CS are asking for the same price of the package that people who didn't have BW would have, which doesn't seem right to me.

I'm presently downloading 1.20 Gigs of updates? Is this normal for an update?

It could be. Did you upgrade via free Basic Library? What was downloaded (v8.3 will show you what was downloaded, else look at the Last Updated column in Library)?.

Sorry for the delayed reply Dave. I always get an email from Logos when a response comes in & for some reason didn't this time around.
I'm not sure what you mean by "via Basic Library." Logos just automatically began downloading. It was 8:3 that came down plus 117 updates & 9 updated Datasets. I'm guessing that indeed accounts for the 1.20 Gigs.
It was downloading when I threw out the question & not remembering a file that large before, it had me wondering what was coming.

The question Dave was asking is "How did you acquire the L8 engine?" It should have been via one of three options:
- A FaithlifeConnect subscription
- A purchase of an L8 Library (or feature set)
- The free "purchase" of Logos Basic.
The answer to your question "what is all of this stuff downloading" may be discovered by your answer to his question. I would add a follow up question: When did you acquire L8? The fact that you posted in this thread implies that you JUST did so, which may not be the case.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. The answer then would be # 1. What originally threw me when it was downloading, was that I didn't recall an update that size before.
As to when I acquired Logos 8, the answer to that would be, when it first appeared on the scene. I suppose I could have put my question up on a new thread, but scanning through this one, I just popped it up here.
This should answer your questions JT. Hope all is well.

The general answer to your question is that you did not download a 1GB software update. You downloaded software and resource updates which were that size.
The specific answer to your question is likely that you downloaded the new "faithlife originals" which are a temporary license. FL made a change and no longer provides a code for "1 free original" but rather has provided you access to a larger catalog of resources which you will have access to as long as you maintain your subscription.
If you want to find out exactly what downloaded, you should filter and sort your library for "last updated" and look for that date.

Thank you for that info JT. That puts a whole different light on things.

Please start a new thread and provide as many details as possible so we can try and work out what is going on.
Are you trying to run Logos 8 or Logos 9?
If 8 please post in https://community.logos.com/forums/147.aspx, if Logos 9 please post in https://community.logos.com/forums/155.aspx
