Like an idiot I purchased Logos 8 for a commentary series I wanted. If I had it all to do over again I would have never purchased. Yay, notes are searchable! Could we not have made notes searchable without ruining the simplistic design of Notes 7? Was it necessary to so utterly complicate things by taking up 2/3 of the Notes screen with information overload and far more noise to signal ratio than is necessary? I doubt I will be listened to but everything that Gaius said on the Logos Notes overview was spot on! My Notes, my favorite feature of Logos are now unusable! Logos 7 essentially had an imbedded word processor that allowed you to anchor your texts. It was brilliant. I'm trying to use Logos Notes to prepare for a paper and I literally can't do it! I'm now using MS Word and copying and pasting the points I want to write about and their citation into a word document. This is extremely frustrating and disappointing. This will drastically decrease my use of Logos outside of reading from library. Logos 7 was perfect. I hate you've done to notes. I know I'm a minority so I won't be listened to but you ruined it. WAY too much signal to noise. Multiple clicks have been added to do the simplest of tasks.
What was so bad about Logos 7 Notes that you had to completely throw it away? Was it necessary to completely destroy something so functional for a search feature and tags? Could those not have been added without sacrificing simplicity, signal to noise, and screen real estate?
Would you please consider adding a feature where all the new stuff can be hidden so that those of us who liked Notes 7 can at least have some semblance of reality? Word Processor with anchors. Seach = good! Tags = good! Logos is to be commended for that. But outside of searching the notes I've already created, I'd rather use and pen and paper than all the other junk. That's what it is, junk, cluttering up the page. Right clicking is even an adventure now. I watch the videos for Logos 8 and the videos have the old right click menu. I miss that menu. Please bring it back. Also, things seem to arrange themselves in a most recent on top order rather than a most recent on bottom order. My brain has trouble with this. Please make "Date Created" and "Date Modified" sortable by A to Z not just Z to A.
If I had it all to do over again, I would never have upgraded. Very disappointed in Logos.
