Sentence Diagrammer Feedback

PLUSSES

Overall, it's great already! No crashes but one or two issues. Looking forward to full formatting.

The wrap columns mode works very smoothly (see 3 below), and the individual words mode is pretty good too.

New pen tool is great.

What does "Sync" mean in new features list?

SUGGS

Freehand mode for pen (i.e. option not to snap to nearest known shape)
Ability to format individual objects in a linked chain, rather than chain as a whole.

BUGS \ MISSING

1. Sometimes when dragging an item's left handle (to break a chain), items to the right of the item being clicked sometimes jump to a different position i.e.

2. Alternate text is not included when inserting a passage from NA27Interlinear.

3. In wrapped column mode, have to drag text to a lower line or it will not separate. Not possible to drag it to the right on the same text line - is this intended behaviour?

4. No clipboard functions?

5. Seems impossible to select a text object in the middle of a chain and apply bold or other formatting.

6. Arrowheads do not appear on non-straight lines (intended?) - would be useful to have arrowheads on arcs.

7. No verse number option?

8. When flipping between different display options (Primary, Primary with alternative), text changes size. I think this happened because this option was last set to "Primary with Alternate below". I then creeated a new diagram (NA27) and set it back to "Primary" and the text shrank.

9. No option to edit alternate text by double clicking (in wrapping colums mode)

Thanks

Just bumping these as not sure if they were picked up as I posted them very quickly following the release of the beta.

Thanks

Where did you see that? I didn't see it anywhere in the release notes.

Normally "sync" in Logos contexts refers to the feature where it synchronizes your personal data and settings with the cloud. I would expect Sentence Diagrams to sync though perhaps that part hasn't been implemented yet (Shortcut Bar icon labels don't sync yet as someone else reported). I haven't tested it because I only have one functional computer at the moment.

Once again, I ask, where did you find that copy of the release notes? It's not the same as the release notes on the wiki: http://wiki.logos.com/4.1_Beta_1

The above is from Version 3 from the history for that wiki page.

Click History on any of the wiki pages to see who/what/when the updates happened. Most useful to see whats new since last you looked.

You can also manually update the URI to see how, for example, version 17 is updated since version 9, or whatever.

Duh. I knew that! (Where's my dunce cap emoticon when I need it?)

But I wonder why they removed "Sync" from the release notes. Perhaps it isn't actually working yet.

Alternate text is not included when inserting a passage from NA27Interlinear.

Does any Greek interlinear include the english as alternate text?

The regular interlinear (i.e. not reverse-interlinears) do--assuming they will behave the same way they did in Libronix. I have a number in my library (I started with Scholar's series X and have upgraded along the way to Platinum)

The Greek New Testament, Fourth Revised Edition (Interlinear with Morphology) [Swanson Morph]
The Interlinear Literal Translation of the Greek New Testament [TR interlinear]
The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament
Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, 27th Edition with McReynolds English Interlinear [GRAMCORD]

Sorry, I meant are any of the interlinears currently supported in the sentence diagrammer to insert english as alternate text. I too have platinum but have not found any interlinears that will insert alternate text. They just come up blank.

The
Insert Passage feature is not yet complete. The ability to add alternate text will be available in a subsequent beta.
