Enhancement: Reading View - coloms / columns

Could we please have a columns option in Reading View mode? The Logos help screen has it's text in columns.

It's much easier to read text which is on a short line. The advantage of the Reading View is that we don't need to keep tuning pages, but we just want to have that option AND short line length.

Thank you.

Especially since most screens a wide-format now I find the reading view pretty useless because the lines are too wide to be easily read. (Therefore I haven't used this feature since last year when L4 first came out.) Columns or multiple "pages" across the screen would be great. Good suggestion, Lionel.

Lionel,

Welcome to the forums!

FYI Logos has announced in other threads that a better reading view is coming. I initially expected it in 4.1 because they had said that some of the code used for the pagination in printing would be used in the enhanced reading mode but I no longer have that expectation given how late we are in the beta cycle (but I could still be wrong!)

My guess is that they want to finalize the coding for the print menu. Then in maybe 4.1b they will transpose some of that code over to the reading view.

In the meantime, while we wait- I found this as a work around. The reading mode use to never be something that I would use because it was difficult to read a screen's length of text - A smaller column was needed. So, I opened the table of contents in reading mode and stretched to half the screen. Then I increased the text size. This seems to work for me until they get columns working. Look at the screen shot below.

And, since I have a tablet, I can highlight and use my stylus and the onscreen keyboard to use the highlighting shortcuts. See below.

Blessings-
