Please add the ability to "nest" notebooks into one another, or organise them into folders. It would make managing a large number of notebooks easier.
Requested Oct. 2020?
What's the point of requests if they sit for five years. "Hi can I get a change to this program in five years time please?" In five years I could make my own Bible software by myself. Trust me it's been done.
The purpose of requests is to ensure that Logos is aware of their users' thoughts on improvements. They don't give us feedback on a scale of "hell freezes over" to "when is the earliest we can slip this in". Making a request implies nothing about whether it fits within the larger view of the evolution of the product over time. Yes, you could write your own Bible software including in it some decent application of neural networks. At least one person on the forum has done so. But others of us would rather spend our time using it rather than writing it.
This is a bit tedious, but I do organize my notes by using Favorites tab. I create a folder called Notes Folders, then have subfolders of all my books of the Bible, I can then have subfolders under those. You can also create folders for certain subjects and subfolders within those. Then just drag each note under the folder or subfolder you wish for it to be under.
No doubt, having a folder function within notes would be better, but this works for now.
Ya. The real issue is if a company doesn't want to do something they should say so. Telling the person "no". Instead of a bunch of people waiting around hoping for something that's never going to happen.
If a company does decide to do something, five years is unacceptable. Five weeks is closer to a proper wait.
The "I can do this myself" is a jab because I know how big this company is. Recently Trump was talking about government workers working from home but not really working. This post being five years old reminded me of that. Are yOu wOrKiNG bRo? 👀
I'm lecturing the company on how to run the company, but if it takes five years to do something that should take five days, maybe someone should be lecturing them.
@ASUNDER
What credentials do you have in managing large computer apps i.e. why should I trust your judgment on the matter?
Because of what I said about results. If it takes five years to do something that should take five days, there is something wrong.
Having spent a career in maintaining and managing large computer applications, excuse me if am unwilling to believe that the length of time something would take to implement is the deciding element in the prioritization of requests.
When I'm in a restaurant, after waiting three hours for my food; going to the kitchen to have a little chat with the chef; he can try and tell me these things while I'm ringing his neck. 😅
Why ask suggestions? Is it so our grand children can benefit from the changes? 😣 But I answered my own query, after noticing the time frame of "Oct. 2020" and the somewhat recent format changes to Logos.
I've seen this same pattern with companies for the past twenty years. It's always the same thing, without deviation. It's not incompetence or laziness. It's always money. Every. Single. Time.
Oh look, Google, that says men can get pregnant, also has a DRM system that you have to use an approved program to use the content you paid for. In the most orwellien dystopian fashion humanly possible.
I wonder how long it took the FaithLife staff to put the locks on the ebook content that belongs to me? Probably a hundred times longer than it would have taken them to make the Table Of Contents auto collapse and follow.
Cause nothing says protecting copyright like auto-blocking comments on social media that don't align with the mainstream narratives, but also being entirely unable to take down the pirate websites…
When I make a suggestion, it is just that - a suggestion. I expect Logos to take the suggestion into account when they are planning to work on that section of code. I expect Logos to screen the suggestions, including mine, for what is compatible with the overall direction of the software, the number of users it would help, the number of users it would screw over, and the cost benefit of the suggestion. Because of my liturgy-lectionary orientation and my broad use of a variety of higher criticisms and minimal use of the grammatico-historical criticism, I would prioritize suggestions in a very different manner than Logos. To insure "minimal use of the grammatico-historical criticism" not be misunderstood, let me remind you that my graduate school advisor was a philologist educated in France who taught in Germany, England, and the US. Philology which is broader is within my wheelhouse.
I want to suggest a new feature within Notes. It would be great to better organize my notes to make them easier to find and look over. I think the easiest way to do this would be having Folders that you can organize your notes into.
For example, I take notes for Seminary, for preaching, for daily Bible reading, for small groups, and for just random things I learn.
It would be great to have a "School" folder to put all my class notebooks into, and a Preaching folder to put all my preaching notes into.
We could even go a step further, and have subfolders, which I think I would utilize as well. This could be done somewhat similar to how OneNote does their organization.
Let me know what you think.
Hello, you may know this already and find it unsatisfactory, but here goes 😊: You can tag your notes based on the categories you are describing. Then, at any time, you can filter to show just those notes tagged for a particular category. That is how I conveniently organize and manage my 10,000 (and growing) set of notes.
I do like the tagging system, but I would still prefer more organization on top of that. .
The tagging system allows for notes to be in multiple groups at the same time; folders and subfolders limit a note to a single place. What additional organization are you trying for? Perhaps we can help you get what you want.
https://community.logos.com/discussion/227148/folders-for-notebooks#latest Folders are gaining traction, maybe we can add the subfolders to it?
hey, thanks for your reply. I do like the tagging system, but it is more work than what I’m asking for. I make a lot of notes, and some are pretty fast notes with little information. I don’t like having to tag each note and highlight with the category I want it to go in. It would be far more efficient to have it simply be in the folder.
I use tags for more specific items that this note covers that I would want to easily find later when doing on related story, but that’s different from what I’m saying.
I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you mean by this.
The link I posted is another idea that was added that is getting popular about folders, maybe we can add your subfolder idea to that idea.
the link takes you to my post.
This link.
yes! I am so glad to see other people pushing for this!
An anchor anchors your note to resources. One note can have many resources anchored to it. So if your reading that resource in the future, you will see a note icon wherever you have anchored a note to that resource. I use this with virtually every note I take.
Please folders for notes!
It's essentially asking for a "OneNote" type of experience. It's the single biggest reason I haven't fully ported off using OneNote for Bible study. I use Logos for everything else but that notebook structure in OneNote is hard to replace with the current Logos notebook functionality.
Suggestion: Clicking on a footnote indicator (number in blue superscript) gives only minimal information, e.g., "Beale, p. 788". There's no way to easily get the complete citation, especially if the reference doesn't exist in the library. Rather than having the citation disappear when the mouse pointer is moved, allow user…
Over and over I am on a webinar and the presenter is demonstrating some neat feature that I don't have, and I have to ask the presenter or telephone help and ask "why don't I have this feature?" Other people have questioned on the webinars that they are not seeing some feature or another being presented, so this is a…
Good afternoon! I've shared this idea before, looking to get some feedback. Logos has truly been amazing. I enjoy using it a lot and it has simplified my work and made it more efficient. I work off my iPad a lot also, not just computer and one of the things I use and enjoy a lot also is the highlighting. On the computer I…
The font size of text in any particular resource panel can be scaled using the slider in the panel's menu. However, this scaling has no effect on the size of text in footnotes in the pop-up that comes up with a footnote is clicked on; the size of that text is determined solely by Program Scaling. This is problematic…
As stated elsewhere, in order to see what Maps look like in Logos/Verbum resources, I always have to check third party web pages (like amzn) in order to see how they will look like. Could you enable previews of resources including Maps (and Images)?
