I just did a Reading list of First Peter. I suppose I should have tested the links halfway through a little better but when I use the link for most of the commentaries I am taken to James 5 instead of the Author Section of the First Peter Intro. Is there more precision from the linking coming?

This looks like a bug in Copy Location to Clipboard; thanks for reporting it. This bug will occur in any resource where the navigation box appears to be out of sync with the content. For example, if you open BKC to the introduction to 1 Peter, you'll see that the navigation box continues to say "James 5:19" as you scroll through the introduction, and doesn't change until you scroll past the Outline and get to the Commentary. Any links created in this introduction will jump back to James 5:19.

Actually this seems to be a bug in every verse, or at least that is how I would define it. In 3.X I could hyperlink to a specific location in the commentaries. In 4.0 I can only hyperlink to verse headings. Is this intentional or will we be able to link to exact locations in the final release?

If fixing it is an involved process then may I recommend defining



ref=bible.81.0.0 as a reference to the introduction :-) And may I further recommend being able to type "1 Peter Intro" in the passage guide so that commentaries are linked to the introductory sections :-) And may I also recommend Logos stop this cursed Global Warming? And in your spare time I could use a coffee...could you deliver it to my home address?

Never mind, it has to be a bug that is fixable without too much difficulty (easy to say from my side of the fence). to test it out I copied the link in 3.X and pasted it into the reading List for BKC, First Peter Author. The link opened in 4.0 to the Author section.

BUG FIX NOTE: Not sure if you tracked this down or not yet. After pasting the new link in the BKC that I created in 3.X, The Bible Knowledge Commentary appeared locked in the Reading List. Hope that helps you track down the bug reported in another thread where unlocked resources appeared locked.
