Persistent input form for passage list

I'm trying to make a passage list from a bunch of passages I've found in a book I'm reading. I create a new passage list and then click "Add" at the top left. The popup form allows me to put in a verse and when I click Enter, the box disappears. Unfortunately, I've got lots and lots of verses to input, so I have to click "Add" every time.

I suggest that the form persists after hitting Enter. The verse would be added to the passage list, but the form would stay live so more verses could be entered.

Also, what happened to being able to put a web address into the passage list so it will list out the verses on that page?

Hi Jon

You can enter multiple verses using the "Reference" box at the bottom of the list:

You can enter a web address into the URL field in the drop-down

Does this give you what you want?

Hey Graham,

The good news for me is that this seems to be addressed in the next release. The bad news is that I don't have that release [:)] I look forward to 4.1!

Thanks,

Jon

If it's a book you're reading in Logos, there's an even easier way to add all the verses to your passage list at once:

1) Select the text in the book which encompasses all the verse references you want to add at this time (there is a maximum length of selection you might run up against, to dissuade people from plagiarism, but you can do it in multiple batches).

2) Open the passage list in question, if it isn't open already.

3) Drop down the Add menu and choose to Add passages from "...selected text" :

This is in 4.1 which as has been mentioned is the currently available version, free to upgrade to if you've got a previous one.

If it's from a book you're reading in print, you could create a simple text file with all the verses listed, then "Add passages from ...a file" (or copy them all to the clipboard and "Add passages from ...clipboard"). Adding multiple verses at a time using the Reference box at the bottom of the passage list, as Graham sugested, is probably quicker, though.
