Clicking on today's reading closes my layout
I'm fairly certain this is a bug, if it's not - it's the wrong behavior.
Description
>> Opening todays' reading clears the layout and creates it's own.
Steps to reproduce
- load L4 (b7)
- Run a guide from the home page on a passage (I used 1 Peter 1:1-12)
- Return to home page and click today's reading.
- Hey where'd my other stuff go!?
Actual Result
All guides close except passage guide which goes blank, and a powerlookup starts running on the former passage guide passage., But at least the daily reading opens.
Expected Result
I simply expected the daily reading to open with all of my reports and books intact. Just add that resource.

Edit: This isn't a bug. It's a design feature at this time. I will submit your comments.

Hi,

I too saw this as a bug and worked around it.
- Open my desired study workspace,
- Open the home page and note the first passage in my reading for today
- Close the home page and manually type the reading passage into the reference bar
- Read my passages like it was beta 6 again.
This to me is either a bug or with the current explanation a really really really ill conceived feature. The system should not be telling me which bibles, commentaries and other tools I want to have open as I read a passage when I have already set this up in the past.

I really really really do not like this feature as a default (I think it is appropriate if launching onto a blank workspace).
Perhaps, it would be best if we could associate layouts with reading plans. I hate having to close all the windows I don't want and having to rebuild my setup for my reading plan.
And I do think that there is a bug. When opening a reading plan for a nonbiblical book, Passage Guide and Bible Explorer are simultaneously launched along with the book. This doesn't make sense.

Melissa,
You responded in a different thread with this same message to me about the same design feature - albeit that I wasn't losing what I had been doing as I was going directly from my home page to my daily reading guide as my first action.
I want to echo what's being said here. After having this feature for a couple of days, I affirm what I said before, I do not like this feature. If I want to open a passage guide I will. If I want to just read (which is the purpose of a reading guide) I just want to read and don't want to have to cancel/close/stop/wait the PG and BE. If it is opening PG and BE for none biblical texts that is poor implementation of this feature. If it closes everything else you've been doing, just because you want to take a break and read something, it is poorly designed.
I don't want the feature, I just want the reading guide. This is really annoying to me.
