improving place finders

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Is that the right word?

Say I begin reading the book of Romans. I start at 1:1. Then in the middle of chapter 3, I see a cross reference or have a thought and go somewhere else. If I then go back to where I am reading, Logos will take me back to where I started, 1:1. I would like Logos to remember where I just left. Maybe you can add a button that I can click on before I leave it to keep that place.

Am I missing something here?

The back button (top left of the book panel) should take you back to where you were (Rom 3) not where you started (Rom 1). And, if you right-click on the back button you can go back to different places in your location history.

Are you seeing something different?

Larry Craig

yep. I just tried it a few times.

I was in the middle of Acts 9, went to chapter 11.

The back button took me back to the beginning of chapter 9

it only remembers specific passages I typed in. Not where I leave off reading

I was in the middle of Acts 9, went to chapter 11.
The back button took me back to the beginning of chapter 9

I'm seeing very different behaviour.

Just checking I understand:

You were in Acts 9
You scrolled down to Acts 11
You followed a footnote from Acts 11 to somewhere else
You clicked the backbutton and it took you back to Acts 9

Is that correct?

If so, what Bible are you doing this in - and on what platform?

Larry Craig

it goes back to where I had started reading. If I started in the beginning of Acts 9, read into chapter 11, then went somewhere else, the back button goes to the beginning of Acts 9, not where I left off

Is it related to 'Article' vs 'Reference'?

Larry Craig

It's in the Bible. type in a reference to start reading. I read, leave for some reason, and then the back button goes back to where I started reading and not where I left off.

Graham Criddle

then the back button goes back to where I started reading and not where I left off.

Instead of clicking the back button, please right-click it to show the history and then post a screenshot showing that dropdown

Larry Craig

I am now in chapter 27. If I leave for some reason, the back button will take me back to chapter 22, not here

Graham Criddle

Sorry, I meant to ask that you post a screenshot (showing the history) after having "left" and before you try and go back.

So in this scenario, clicking a reference in chapter 27 and then taking the screenshot before pressing the back button

Larry Craig

OK, I was in 2 Chronicles 31. Went to Dt 4. If I do the back button, I am at 2 Chr 28. I may not always know exactly where I am at. In the NT, I don't use chapter and verse numbers. Logos will take me back to the passage I first typed in regardless of how much I read since then.

Graham Criddle

OK, I was in 2 Chronicles 31.

How did you get to 2 Chronicles 31?

I see it is in a link set with LXX. I was wondering if you went to chapter 31 in the LXX and the NASB95 followed because of the linkset. In that case, I would expect what you are describing.

Larry Craig

I started at 2 chronicles 28, read to chapter 31, went somewhere else, and Logos takes me back to 28.1

Graham Criddle

do you get the same behaviour if you just have the single Bible open and with nothing else?

Larry Craig

I never have a single Bible open and nothing else. I don't see why it would be different, but this is how I use Logos, so this is what I am hoping for.

thanks for your time, Graham.
