Suggestion

This is without a doubt the best piece of software i have ever used in any category from anyone.  Amazing job on Logos - thanks.  Two suggestions:

1. Add a way to get to individual verses with the mouse.  In Quickverse you can open a pane of Bible books - click on the book - opens a chapter pane - click on chapter - verse pane opens - click on verse - you're there.  Having to reach up and type destinations oftens interupts the flow, since most navigation occurs using the mouse.

2. When reading in text comparison in floating pane, it would be nice to have the book titles anchored to the top of the window as you scroll through the text.  Kind of like locking the column headings in an Excel spreadsheet.  This would make it a lot easier to see what translation you are reading without having to count down the list abbreviations at the top then count across the columns to see what translation I am currently reading down.

Thanks,

Fred Fritzsche

    If you open up Text Comparison in a separate window and then click in the Bible version window at the center top, and click on it and type in your favorite Bible translation and then click the blue arrow to the right twice or hit enter twice, it will then show only your favorite Bible.  Then go to the menu panel in the upper left and change the scaling to the font size you want.  The click again in the menu panel and link the Text Comparison tool with your favorite Bible.  Now go to your Bible and click on a verse.  That verse will show up in the text window at the top.  Click on that window and click on the blue arrow or hit enter.  Now your verse (or if you select verses) will be in the Text Comparison pane in all its glory.  Follow the two click pattern to get whatever verse you want.

            Your can navigate in your Bible with a mouse by using the table of contents.  Click on the panel menu of your Bible and make sure the locator bar is selected.  Then click on the arrows below the panel menu to open the table of contents.  Or you can use the selector on the right side of the locator bar to change from book to book or chapter to chapter or verse to verse.  There is a small triangle there to the right of the selection which will drop down a menu to choose from.  Either of these methods to change location in your Bible is done with a mouse.

    Did you know about the Table of Contents panel? You can navigate with the mouse to any chapter in the Bible using it. Just click the double chevron icon at the top of the Bible tab to open the TOC panel:

    And then you can click to expand books and click on chapters:

    EDIT: Once you get to the right chapter, it's easy enough to scroll to the verse you're looking for.
