I am the Senior Pastor of a Calvary Chapel and I have a number of personal books I created that I would like to share with my School of Discipleship Students and Assisting Pastors. I would like to be able to do that across all platforms.
You can share the source files of the PB (the docx-format), but everybody needs to build the PB by themselves, there is no functionlity to share compiled PBs in Logos right now - the idea of sharing compiled PBs was around some 10 years ago but did not materialize.
You can share those docx-files on any platform you like, but you probably know that PBs currently work only on desktop (I think it's the most-voted feature request for years to change that). If you want to retain control over whom you give access to your PB source files, the in my mind ideal solution would be to make a Faithlife group for that. Of course, if you want to freely share those to everyone interested, you can simply drop them here in the forum.
Hope this helps.
Then a suggestion… I have found where the books are stored, but the name of the file is too confusing to figure out which books are which. Could you use the naming structure we create instead of remaining the PB with a code? Or give us an idea of how to name the books to fit your naming structure so we can figure out how to share them?
the cryptic names are not the problem - the PB-log will tell you which source file made it into which PB. If you don't want to look into logs: simply rebuild a PB and then you look for the newest resource in the folder: that's the PB you just built. BUT: it makes no sense sharing it with others; since they don't have a licence for this book, they can't open it. Here also Logos would need to build a way of sharing the license (or of building license-free books that could be imported by everyone via the scan command). one additional benefit of shared PBs would be: you can link from one to the other.
I’ve been using the mobile app for years, and the addition of the floating insights button is making it really hard to continue. When I’m reading a passage on my iPhone, my eyes are constantly drawn down to it. And please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think it added any functionality? I am conditioned to get to the…
Can the search and volume icons be moved closer to make space and the insights light bulb can be moved in that space. That mobile has a similar function as the web app where it can be toggled on or off. The place where it is at currently is a bit disturbing when reading and when you have a two tab layout.
Making Logos compatible with Linux, eliminates adds, hackers, operational drag, and cuts out all the software bloat of Windows and Mac. Did I mention you can't get hacked on Linux. Unlike the 16 billion passwords that were dumped on the dark web last weekend for all Facebook, Google, and Twitter users. I hope you have…
are there any plans to make available a Logos edition if MTF’s Didache Bible?
I have a lot of notes in which I interact extensively on topics throughout my library and I typically tag them. However, there is not a convenient way to surface these when I do research. Unless I remember to search for tags in Docs search or in the Notes filter bar, a lot of this valuable research just does not surface in…
