Need a Restart Button

I do not like that we have to close or force quit Logos Desktop every time the app needs to be updated either with resources or the software update.  Please include a restart button built into the app.  Even windows and Apple software have restart options.

    I don't have a live example at the moment, but usually when I need to restart, Logos/Verbum provides a message telling me that with the word restart serving as a restart button. Does that not happen for you or are you referring to cases where the message does not appear?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I get that on Windows but not on Mac - that might be relevant here.

    I have never had this happen on my Mac... so I suggest there may be a problem with your installation of either Logos or macOS.

    Both MacOS and Logos are updated to the latest software, I do not see any issue on that.

    ...which leads me to say: 

    so I suggest there may be a problem with your installation of either Logos or macOS.

    (I didn't say there was a problem with the latest versions of macOS or Logos, I said that there is a problem with YOUR installation. It may even indicate a problem with your hard drive).

    Just wanted to write an own thread, but it seems something similar is done before.

    We need here a restart button,  as long as it is written: The changes are available after a restart.

    Thanks

    I think that very often the "restart" is a button. For those cases where it isn't, I have two shortcuts with the commands uilang en and uilang de which will trigger a line with a restart button (even if I keep the existing UI language), works like a charm.

    Thanks. Mmh why the image got lost? I try again.

    Can someone tell me why the image in my post above got lost. And why I'm not able now to upload an image. The buttons for that is lost too.

    In your post I can see it just fine, I cut it out and replaced with (...) in the quote just for readability.

    I see the same just right now after the update to Logos 36 stable:

    (This specific message annoys me more for another reason: I see it nearly every update and it promises me books, but it never once brought a book, it always is an updated dataset that will come up after the restart) 

    Edit: my shortcut: click one of the two commands below, like uilang en, will give the bar with a restart button (left, ignore the beta resource menu in the tab below):

    I find the forum software to be erratic at times where you can’t upload images.
