I have used Logos notes extensively for a couple decades. I cannot stress strongly enough the level of frustration with the "upgrade".
Ugh...I understand, but not everyone (who also use notes extensively) have the same opinion. Thankfully, you can use the old system for the time being until they get the other features added in. Everyone wins in that situation in my opinion.
Agreed! [:)]
The previous versions seemed more intuitive (yes, I realize the subjective nature of that statement [:)] ).
Alas, the upside is I am certain all my recent struggles with the upgrade of the notes module on my Bible software will someday gain me inclusion in "Foxe's Book of Martyrs". I will strive on...0 -

Hi Phil.
I touched on this earlier in this thread. I would really like to have a way of "pinning" a note or notebook so that it will not change to another one. Maybe have the notebook have a setting like a bible window's "send hyperlinks here".
Also, a heading on the tab would be nice so that I know which note file is which. Notice that all my open notes just say "notes" on the tab. Kind of confusing.
Thanks!!!

Daniel, could you elaborate? I'm not sure I'm following your thought... Did you know that if you filter a NoteTool instance to a particular Notebook using the notebooks tab, that instance will "not change to another" notebook? Also, any notes you make from this instance (or from the context menu or highlighting hotkey, provided you only have one instance filtered in this way) will automatically get assigned to that Notebook.

Reuben, it is that key requirement, "provided you only have one instance filtered in this way)" that I would like to get around. What happens if I have multiple note files or notebooks open at the same time? Something that I almost always do. But I only want my notes to post to a particular file? I would like the ability to send notes to that one that is so designated by a sort of "send hyperlinks here" function.

Yes! Simple to use. Simple to change to another file, as needed. And on to a 3rd, or back to the 1st.

Re: Logos 8 on Windows 10
Isn't this a commonly desired research scenario?
1. Add notes to Bibles and all the other literature while researching a topic.
2. Collect those notes in a specific notebook, or better yet, just tag all the notes (e.g. "eschatology").
3. Select the notebook or tag.
4. See all the notes grouped by resource, then in order either by canonical Bible reference or by each resources' page number (or some other key that puts notes in the order they appeared in the resource) so that we can evaluate all the info collected?
If I can't do #3 and #4, then what good are Logos notes when it comes to research? If I select my notebook or tag and only see things all jumbled because my only sort option is date order seems to waste many hours of work.
If you have some other way of taking notes and digesting them on a large topic (without using the Logos guides) could you share it with me? I'd really like to use the Logos notes to study complex topics, but at the moment I don't see how. I'm open to suggestions.
Have a great day,

I think this is the same thing you posted and I replied to here: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/187824/1121264.aspx#1121264Jim said:Re: Logos 8 on Windows 10

Another thing I don't like is when I anchor a note to another reference it highlights the whole verse instead of just adding a note icon in the right margin like it used to. I do inductive markups in my Bible so I don't want the whole verse highlighted in the color I choose for my note ie green file, green highlighting. Can I turn this off?
Thanks
