(I wasn't sure where to post this so I chose Notes because that is the function that is initially bugging me.)
I just upgraded to LOGOS 8 and discovered two problems with notes in my first couple days of use: One is the way adding cross-references (Anchors) works usability-wise (I've addressed this to the development team). The second is that an active hyperlink is not created when copying a quote from a book into a note.
Adding Anchors: I can no longer use the Enter key to confirm the selected anchor and I have to re-select "Add Anchor" for each additional anchor I want to add. I always thought that using the enter key instead of clicking a button with the mouse was industry standard. Apparently, FL doesn't think so or just doesn't care about providing common functionality. As far as having to re-select the "Add Anchor" rather than leaving the dialog open and selecting "Done" when finished, that is probably functionality that can be debated forever as to which is the most usable for the majority of users. I can get used to this changed functionality, though.
Cross-reference hyperlink: Releasing the product w/o the automatic hyperlink to copied references working is unacceptable. Releasing a product as a formal (not beta) release missing expected functionality is just plain poor business/customer relations. When loyal customers upgrade, they expect to find all functionality they have been using to be working in the new release. No product should be released until it supports all existing function of the previous release because that is what loyal users are expecting.
I may have missed it, but I only recall seeing hoopla about all the new function and nothing about "what won't work yet" or "what has been removed." Also, I've seen a list of upcoming functions referenced in other posts, but have not found it.
FL, if you really care about your customers and not just selling the product, then you need to do something meaningful about this. Sure, it appears I can go back and use the old Note 7 in version 8, but it sounds like that is very risky, especially if I create/edit a note via the app. I can also take advantage of the 30-day refund policy, which I may have to do. However, in my not-so-humble-opinion, FL needs to withdraw LOGOS 8 as a release and rename it a beta, giving those of us who have purchased L8 the option of staying with the beta or going back to L7 with a "coupon/credit" guaranteeing us that we can purchase the fully functional version when it becomes available at the price we paid, or a lower price, as applicable when it is re-released.
