… when the update involves a fix for Mac OS?
I've always wondered about that.
It does seem weird! But in my understanding: They share a lot of code, so it is easier for maintenance to keep them in sync. Otherwise, imagine the confusion on the forum when some users say they are on one version and others wonder why they can't access it. Or a fix to Mac might inadvertently create a Windows bug, so it needs to go out to be found.
It's a stupid practice that a bunch of people will come in to defend for no particularly good reason.
450MB x how many Windows users getting automatic updates/want to buy a book & are forced to update = a lot of bandwidth. Surely Logos pays something for that?
I'm no longer on a metered connection, but this really bugged me when I was.
There must be some more efficient way to do it. Just send a patch through for the version number, shouldn't be more than a few KB.
I suspect it isn't stupid, but I have often wondered the same. I write and maintain some software, but the package size is small, so it's easiest and least error-prone to just update everything. Besides, I don't have to fuss about which files were updated and which were not. So that makes sense to me. 450 Mb isn't awful for most of us these days. A few years back it was. Patching a few kb….not a good idea. An entire file might be ok, but so many things can go wrong doing it that way.
But these are just my random opinionated thoughts and don't answer the OP question.
Another reason may be: users will often log in to a Mac and Windows, necessitating synchronisation.

I just noticed that the most recent update of my desktop Logos (legacy) has had the "fuzzy" search option removed, leaving only the option to subscribe for "Smart" search for other than "Precise" search. Is the former fuzzy search no longer available? If it still available, how to do I restore it as an option?
I own The Babylon Talmud and Jerusalem talmud . Logos has not organized the volumns as are my hard copies. Im trying to find Yoma 39a. This info is vital in our sharing the Gospel.40 years before the distruction of the Temple the Red Rag never again turned white . The menorah would not stay lit and the doors of the Temple…
I'm finding a way where I can easily click on my ESV Bible and see my highlights from commentaries. I've tried clicking "add anchor" in the highlight from the commentary and then adding Gal 2:17. However, the result is that the whole verse in the ESV gets highlighted yellow. If I remove the highlight colour from the note,…
Bibleworks allowed users to choose from portions of the Bible that had descriptive headers. Example: Exodus 2:1 - Birth and Youth of Moses Logos only lists chapters with no descriptive headings. How can I get the same function that Bibleworks offered in Logos?
Are there any plans for the Smart search to include searching my Notes as well as my books/resources? I recently asked it specifically to search my Notes, in hopes of finding information I may have dealt with in the past, but it indicated that was not possible. Thanks for any update. Dennis Toll
