I GIVE UP

Four days lost, with the help of a lot of good people here on the Logos forum. Contact with the staff and technician taking over the control of the machine but not understanding the problem, indexed it again, but in vain. I think the Logos conceivers will have some more work if they want to conquer the Mac public.

Let's hope I will finally get an answer for the refund.

Thanks to those who tried to help..

Prof Goldman,

I think there may have been some issue with your index. You should have gotten search hits for your prior searches. If you can send me your diagnostic logs, I can take a look and see if there were any issues.

You will find a link here:http://community.logos.com/forums/t/25043.aspx for a utility which can compress your Log files suitably for posting to the forums.

Thank you for the proposal. Here is the log archive. I just dragged it into this field.

Not sure this is the right thing to do, so I also use the join function:

Hope this will help.

That's exactly what I needed.

It looks like your library finished indexing at 21:56:31 your time. I can also see that your indexes had never fully finished so that would explain why you got no hits.

I wonder if you restarted L4 and tried to run a Basic search now for Peace in your Entire Library and see if you get hits. Similarly, if you try John Fidel's suggestion for searching original languages, you'll probably get hits now too.

Patrick Goldman

Thank you for your message. Yes, the problem you raise is not solved, i.e.: why was the indexing never finished?

The one you mention was the last indexing initiated by your technician, which took roughly around 2 hours yesterday night. The first indexing had been given the whole night and was normally finisghed.

The basic search for peace was done without any problem, but this is not my main interest in Logos 4 "Original Language" package. I still do not get any result when entering Hebrew or Greek words searched in the Bible or Morph sections.

Anyway thank you very much for the try.

Sincerely,

Y. Goldman

Is anyone monitoring this forum?

Gents (and maybe ladies, don't remember seeing any in this thread, but just in case), Things are beginning to degrade on this thread rather quickly. The truth is we should not have to be monitored by admins. I know this is not a "Christian" forum per se, but I would guess that since we are talking Bible software, we are all at least claiming to be Christ followers. Let me just say this vitriol is disconcerting. I believe we have now flogged this horse into decay. If you are unhappy with Logos, Mr. Pritchett has offered you your money back. If you prefer Mac over Windows or vice versa, are we willing to divide Christ over these matters? I have friendly banter with my friends over the fact that I use Mac and they use Windows, but come on guys, please. Keep in mind Ephesians 4:3 and Romans 15:7.

Just above your post is a lady: M J Smith is Martha, and she is a lady.

Matthew has made friendly jabs at me in the past. He could have been misinterpreted. That is easy to do with this mode of communication.

Dear Jack

Thanks for your reply. Friendly jabs are one thing — I have given and got in that vein here and in other forums over many years. However I don't see how Mr Jones' comments can be interpreted in any other way but ad hominem and insulting.

Part of me regrets my last post to him, but the other part feels he should watch how he speaks in writing — jokes may be one thing with someone you know, but are easily misread with those you don't. Anyway, overall, I feel his manner was very inappropriate.
