This week's unofficial tutorial video: Favorites

Mark Barnes

Following on from my previous Logos Tutorial Videos, this new video shows four ways of creating favorites (and how to ensure whether they will always open to a specific point or whether they'll open to their most recent position), how to delete and rename them, two ways of re-ordering favorites, how to create and organise folders, the difference between favorites and bookmarks, how to add web links and files as favorites, and how you can resize the apparently unresizeable favorites tool.

Ah I know how Favorites work, use them often, but given this is a Mark Barnes video I will be watching it closely, pen and paper in hand, and I am sure I will pick up a few nuggets to enhance my Logos experience! Thanks Mark!

I share your sentiments.  I use favorites a lot, but never use bookmarks.  After watching the video, I now have an important use (in my case) for bookmarks.

I use the Favorites tool as a way of keeping my note, sentence diagrams, clippings, etc., in a manageable form. I a Folder for Bible, sub-folder for OT and NT and a sub-folder in each of those sub-folders for the various divisions (Law, History, Poetry, MProphets, mProphets, etc.). Then under each of the divisions, I have a folder for the book and a sub-folder under the book for the chapters within the book. Now, I can drag a copy of my note file, etc., into the book and chapter folder in my Favorites. When I start to look for sermon material in a particular book, i.e., John chapter 3, there are all of my notes, clippings, sentence diagrams, pictures and other links.

It took a while to set it up, but it has been a huge benefit by organizing all my study files.

Yes, I'll be recommending this method in a few videos time, once I've discussed creating notes.

Mark,

I too have learned a lot from your videos and really appreciate the work you have put into them and the clarity in which they are presented. There are many times though that I am away from an internet connect and want to make good use of my time and have wanted to view the videos. . Is there a way that these videos can e used off-line?

I'm not Mark, but yes, his videos, which are hosted on Vimeo, are all downloadable. You need to sign up for a free Vimeo account to be able to download them, though.

As Rosie says, each video can be downloaded direct from video. The download link is not all that obvious, but is below the main advert below the video's description (see the screenshot below).
